Another tyrannical lunatic (apparently) bites the dust. Anyone else have any information on this?

Edit: confirmed; we have a body

anyone want to join me in a boat to see him buried at sea?

Hmmm... better if he was capture alive.

Though I hope this country can pull itself together and kinda veer away from the whole extremist religious government that some of the people over there want.

Same to the rest of the Middle East. I mean, I'm no fan of extreme Capitalism, but the sooner they get better leaders... well... the better.

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

It would be better if he was alive and made to stand trial in the international courts, but the number of conflicting reports from NTC spokesmen of his condition does leave me a bit concerned.

Still in seems that now all of Libya has been liberated, and now the really difficult questions can be answered. Namely will the NTC actually bring a freee democracy to Libya?

I'd not hold your breath. No reason to assume the next person will be different, and if he is, no reason to assume he'll be better.

 

[Communist partisan]

Ahhhh shit... I hope he's alive.

 

[Ruwrak]

If he was alive it would cost alot of taxpayers money for long long long long trials. So maybe this is for the best. So can we now go back to minding our own business and let other people sort out their own problems?


I still don't understand why the "west" had to intervene in other countries.

A country that lived under the opression of a madman is not really that quick to return to another one.

I guess whoever can grab the country first.

Waiting to see the overall outcome personally, the arab world has a reputation of boiling over/exaggerating even the slightest of rumours.

 

[Sansha]

Video has surfaced of his corpse being handled by rebels.

I ASSURE YOU, THIS IS NSFW - DISTURBING SHIT.
