Reuters says he is dead ..........

Sky News have just posted a picture of him covered in blood, if he's not dead he doesn't look very well.
-
Gun shot wounds to both legs, 43 in total ;D ;D
-
I just heard he was dead, shot in both legs & head, his son has been captured & Tripoli are partying!

Bit of a shame, really. That's a book I would have read with glee. ;D

Death just confirmed
-
Sky News now showing further pictures of his body in the street in Sirte, and the drainage tunnels where he was hidding.
-
Cameron will be overjoyed. Instead of having to defend his defence secretary and his deficit reduction plan and his half-arsed attitude to Europe, he will putting himself forward as the saviour of Libya. Winker.

Gaddafi dead.. now the tribes can start to eat each other :D

Sure I heard on the radio that there will be an investigation

Not good indeed, but being realistic for a moment.. did anyone for one minute expect a different outcome if the locals got hold of him?

Indeed. Too much bitterness, and too many of their lives lost, for them to take a step back and make calm preparations for a trial at the Hague.
-
He lived by the sword and died by the sword so to speak. It wasnt surprising how his life ended and having seen the results of some of the terrorism he funded I dont have sympathy for him either.It would have been a more edifying sight to have seen him captured and put on trial, rather than beaten and executed by a mob.I hope that this isnt a sign of what the future holds in Libya and the other Arab spring countries which have apparently recently converted to democracy.I was very uneasy though at the fact that it was beamed into homes around the world, and close up photos of his dead battered face were the feature of every newspaper in the country this morning.We in the "civilised" west are supposed to be better than that. :(

I fear it might be. I have a feeling there's little respect for anything approaching democracy there, not that I'm an expert. If the population have sorted things out "by the sword" for generations, are they likely to stop now? :-\
-
Indeed Albs - while I understand it was inevitable, I don't agree with it either (nor the media sensationalisation of it, as you say).. but yes, it worries me what will now become of Libya. A swift orderly change to democracy, or a swift dissolution to anarchy and continuing violence as the leaders of the 'rebel army' vie to become the next dictator?
My money is on the latter.

under no circumstance and in no civilisation or religion , a 60 year old man wounded and covered with blood cant be slaughtered like that what ever he has done.. did you you hear how they shout and said ..
the words they spelled >:( those muppets are not even human and got no idea what future they have..
everyone have the right to have a trial at least..basic human rights.. even if he does not deserve..
-
Like most countries in the region, there are several factions - pro western style democrats,Islamists,etc......just like there were in Iraq after the fall of Saddam.I hope we havent opened another big can of worms. :-\
Glad to see the back of him though. I just dearly wish that he and his sons had been given the opportunity to tell the ugly truth about who said what to whom in all the meetings they had with Blair and Mandelson.
Imo it will forever bring shame on this country that our Prime minister and members of his Govt. sucked up to him for his oil. >:( >:(
-
Let's face it they are living in the middle ages and act like it, it is tribal and just look at all those guns. I rather fear the worst for the country just look at the indiscipled rabble we helped. I personally don't see how bombing a convoy of 4*4's speeding out of Sirte was protecting the public, I suspect that NATO had a good idea it was Gaddafi. If that is the case then they are responsible for the outcome, no great loss and keeps things at closure rather than the circus trials in Iraq. This is how these people behave you can't expect an immediate democracy to suddenly appear, lets face it we have one but aren't allowed a referendum on European membership who's the dictator now.

Agreed Cem.Its what seperates us humans from the animals. :y
-
dont forget Sarcosy , giving him his best wishes and friendship when Gaddafi visited France and also Berlusconi kissing his hands ;D what has changed ever since..

I'm not sure his death will stop other deaths for the future.. most of those figures are so primitive that they wont accept to give their guns after so called "peace"

Yes, I certainly agree with you cem. The whole social structure of the region is too tribally oriented for conventional politics to work with any degree of real meaning.
Three things enjoy better success however - not only there but right across the near/mid east - and they are of course religion, money (and the exploitation of it) and of course weapons furthermore, the political systems of many of those countries seem to be based wholly on this triumvirate of means.

You're right of course Cem, but if you're asking whether I have any sympathy towards Gaddafi and his plight, it's a 'no' from me.

nor for me the git got what he deserved the git

I wonder if NATO will turn it's attention to Syria now they've finished in Libya? ::) :-\

He who lives by the sword, dies by it.
Deserved all he's has got IMHO, if your father/ brother/ son has been killed by Gadaffi's internal security service or your friends who have tried to overthrow his repressive, blood regime have died.
"Are you going to say when you meet him, good to meet you, jolly good show over the last 45 years, you killing my brother/ father / son, I can fully understand and forgive what you have done, but unfortunately for a few thoughtless misdemeanors we are going to have to put on a slightly inconvenient trial, which might be a tad inconvenient for you old boy, but I'm sure everything will be alright".
If any of my friends or family had been killed under under his rule and I have met up with him, then my AK-47 would have been a rattling and smoking. Eye for an eye, instant justice done. No chance of him getting away with it, or escaping and forming a resistance movement.
I hope the democratic forces succeed in Libya by time will tell, unfortunately when people gain power, often with good intentions, they are reluctant to relinquish it. And unfortunately "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". I think there will be consider pressure / help from the UK and maybe France and USA for the alliance to fulfill their promises.
Justice has been done IMHO and we should remember all of his victims, including all of the IRA attacks using weapons supplied by him, Pam Am flight 103 and WPC Yvonne Fletcher. A friend of mine at school, Mervin Lunn, mum was killed in the attack by the IRA on the Para's barracks, in Aldershot, in 1972, where she was a civilian cleaner.
I hope he is burning in hell along with Hitler, Stalin, Idi Amin, Saddam Hussain and is shortly joined by Bashar al-Assad and Robert Mugabe and all of the rest of the world's bloody dictators. Democracy may not be perfect by it is by far the best system of government the world has got. We take the freedoms in the western world for granted, but we should IMHO cherish them.

My mum was shot at by the IRA.The bullet missed her by a very small margin indeed.She had her first heart attack shortly afterwards (which may or may not have been connected ?) and never eally enjoyed good health again until her premature death just before her 69th birthday.Maybe that bullet was supplied by Gadaffi,I dont know.
Im not sorry hes gone,but as a civilised human being I cannot feel comfortable watching TV footage of any person being tortured and then executed by a mob behaving like a pack of animals.Nor can I feel happy about our media broadcasting the footage and printing the pics of his body on every front page for the sake of sensationalism.
I fully understand why they acted the way they did,but it was uncivilised behaviour of the worst kind and shouldnt praised or encouraged imo.It was pretty inevitable I suppose,but hopefully they will develop as a country where they have a proper system of justice. Accused people,whoever they may be should have the right to a trial where they face their accusers and when guilty, face the consequences of their actions under a civilised system.
Having said that,I wouldnt wish on them our system,where it has become so "developed,sophisticated and civilised" that criminals are often seen as the victims of society and treated with kid gloves, and the victims of their crimes often seem to be forgotten and ignored.We have very much thrown the baby out with the bath water imo.

1. Eye for an eye: even from the ancient times so called "modern civilisations" in its time, tried to prevent this method of justice(if its justice).. instead tried to prepare some laws , justice system and state power in between citizens in order to avoid anarchy.. and besides death sentence, now, is not used/supported in most of the developed world countries..to give you an example in my country even a famous terrorist organization leader is not hanged.. he is been in proison for many years although 80 % of citizens will prefer to see him torn in pieces..and in Gaddafis case I'm afraid most news and information supplied by the media can be easily questioned for level of truth..Although I do think he has a balooned ego and living some kind of madness he is no more guily than arabic countries despots which are still sitting in their chairs because they have agreement with western world..
2. democratic forces in Libya: if you have watched those moments I have no doubt that you will think similiar like me.. my final decision about those countries is that : they are nothing more than a bunch of hungry , ignorant barbarian tribes.. and there will be no chance of real democracy until they develop some real civilisation culture .. and of course if west permits that..which I dont have hope for.. but when the oil will finish things may change..
also as we opened this democracy subject, I also never think that none of the world countries at the moment have real democracies.. most of those developed countries go ad vote and parties come into play depending on the countries momentary pererefences but the leading classes never change.. and I never did/do believe this theatral act will change..so democracy is the name of game but not reality..

To distract us a little from the EU warblings coming from Westminster at the moment:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-15428360
And I won't post here the video stills I saw the other day which showed Gadaffi being sodomised with a knife..
Truly that country has a long way to go if it's inhabitants want to be considered civilised after this, IMHO. A very long way.

Indeed! Of course the cynical among us know that the west's intervention in this was nothing to do with bringing democracy to the region; they couldn't care less how it's ruled as long as we get the oil and the ruler doesn't do anything too bad that we can't cover it up and cosy up to him..
