Well, i know where you're coming from, lamagonzo. I believe we're on the same page when it comes to world affairs and moral outlook.People on this forum should not equate criticism of the U.S. government with all of it's citizens. Whenever someone speaks up theres the usual knee-jerk reaction of "now hang on buddy...". It's ingrained naivety that is exceptionally dangerous and damaging to the rest of the world. It is not a case of the good guys versus the bad guys. It is bad guys versus bad guys. The footage being broadcast of Gaddafi's capture and death is horrific. I'm well aware of what he did to other people but it is not up to another human being to take a life and degrade it like that. A homegrown policy of gun ownership seems to continually teach certain people that this is perfectly acceptable. (While clucking on about their God at the same time; God Bless America. Insha'Allah. No difference). It's pathetic. And all this is going to happen all over again in Africa. I am sick of all this bullshit and sick of all these bullies. I'm sick of life being treated as a joke and sick of murder, cruelty, torture and manipulation. And i'm especially sick of this retarded attitude that comes with the death of another accompanied by an extra crisp ironing of the Stars & Stripes, which is then hoisted high outside a stupid person's front porch. I want Western dictators removed permanently. Low intelligence coupled with Religion is ruining our planet. As a human being on this earth, i object.

...and when I use the words "the world's policeman" I am being very sarcastic. But does that mean all of the NY Times is bullocks? Or just a third of it? (And none to do with the Palestinians). The thing I try to point out with these references (mostly lost) is that America produces more weapons than the rest of the world and has armed forces that know how to use them and they keep getting better every year. Not only that but we have war colleges and computer gaming that allow us to use our weaponry to the best tactical advantage. The rest of the world has pretty much given up on trying to match us, though we kind of believe NATO and other allies can sally fourth into the fray with us when the bugle sounds. In reality, in Afghanistan where more than 50 country's armies are assembled they overwhelmingly do the administrative and supportive work just above the hired help. The news does tend to paint an illusion of "us" against "them". All I'm saying is the US is the U.S. and everybody is trailing in our wake. But what happens when we can't afford the latest and the greatest because of budget shortfalls? When our militray empire contracts and we can't bully our way to achieving our "national interests"? Through the natural order of things somebody else will take over. It's a brave, new world. Almost. Give it 30 years/.

Despicable footage of Ghadaffys death splashed across networks everywhere. Hateful scenes which the stupid leaders of the West reveled in, including our own dear Prime Ministerial gimp David Camera on. All of whom deserve to be locked in a cupboard with a genetically engineered mantis that'll shift and itch and scratch its spiny little legs against their weeping faces, for a period of no less than sixteen thousand years.The show of disgust from their insincere faces would have been massively improved by the insertion of a protracted final sequence in which each leader is glued to a deckchair and kicked down a stairwell. Nice wholesome rubberneckers' television, appealing to the sort of closet ghouls who, on spotting the remains of a car smash, gently slow down the Chevrolet for a good slow-motion porno-peer at the limp arm dangling over the side of a stretcher. Then crack open a Budweiser. Footage of that Hilary Clinton drone watching the footage on her phone; absolutely priceless. A walking vacuum with the face of a Little Chef gammon steak, she couldn't be more dislikeable if she strode around in Nazi regalia firing nailguns at ponies. Gadhuffy was a deeply unpleasant man. Nato managed to convince the rebels not to kill him but take him alive. Apparently. Yet they killed him anyway. You bet your sweet buns they did! What, Gaddhiffi in The Hague spilling out all his secrets of the West's dodgy deals with Libya throughout the years? Not on your nelly, missus. Only thing more despicable was those political buffoons rushing to the camera to shout what a blue sky apple pie sunny day it is for "Democracy" with a capital "D". A line up of the most crashingly tedious shop-window dummies on earth. Gidhalfy was not a menace to the West. Still, what's done is done. We can all now concentrate on those special advisors in Uganda as they start the long drawn out task of carving up the African continent and pillaging all those economic goodies. These are dark days, folks. Dark days. Now wash your hands. And that monkey boy title was not aimed at the good ol' Prezzie Wezzie.

There's no universally accepted authority for transliterating Arabic names. The good news is the bozo is dead and gone. As President Obama stated today..." a dark shadow of tyranny has been lifted." Perhaps jonapi can take his mindless drivel and take up space on some other forum, as I for 1 am tired of his irrelevant posts. Monkey boy??!! Hardly a respectful term for the POTUS. Listen to Uncle John's Band a few times and go see a football game in London this weekend. Real American football: Chicago vs Tampa.

Easy on Ted, Jonapi. He is pretty much a populist and is happy when the good guys win. He has no mind-bending analysis (I know about). Gadaffi, the spelling of whose name in the media changed over the years, retired to his birth place and died there. He probably would have taken exile, if anybody would have accepted him (ie, if he had enough money). Unfortunately the Libyans became pawns in a Nato afterthought. Could NATO really support a rag-tag army to victory? As long as Uncle Sam was in the bushes with laser pointers guiding smart bombs and drone strikes. Otherwise the NATO countries couldn't do close-in air support to save their lives. As long as the US in a pinch for coin right now, let's start charging our allies for our role as policemen of the world. The Kuwaitis and Saudis were willing to pay for Kuwait, what'll Europe pay for protection? NPR's latest: Gadaffi emerged from a bunker in Sirt saying "Don't shoot!" and was shot anyway. Amazing how much animosity can develop in 40 years as a dictator. To think, he had his own tent in Jersey when visiting the UN.

One less military mission that the US can make money from whilst flaunting their commitment to showing absolutely no regard for human life whatsoever.Cue despicable suits smugly marching into another country to rape their resources. Gaddafi was not a nice man. Yes, that's right G-A-D-D-A-F-I; judging by your spelling and spectacular insensitivity and ignorance to world affairs, i'm guessing you're American. When will the rest of the intelligent world remove the hateful dictators in the U.S.? Here's to endless news waffle of intolerable yank military officials smirking over the corpse of another "victory"; their delivery lurking halfway between John Wayne and an animatronic theme-park dummy employed to entertain queuefuls of impatient visitors by wailing outside the ghost train; he shouts, overemphasises every other word, and punctuates his speech with so many ridiculous hand gestures, he'll have his own eye out if he's not careful. He also has a plastic head, hair like a futuristic combat helmet and was probably spawned in a microwaveable petri dish. Whoever brought him up deserves to be sealed inside a packing crate full of jackals and razor wire and rolled down a hill. Just another chest-beating, histrionic areshole. No doubt shot in close-up with soullessly slick camerawork, with wailing rock guitar and numerable close-ups of them sweatily rolling their eyes around in the manner of a schizophrenic mime artist glaring at a boxful of snakes. All about as easy on the eye as a handful of shattered monkey-nut husks unexpectedly flung in your face by a passing drunk. IGNORE THE NEWS NETWORKS, FOLKS.

Folks in Tripoli are happy with the news Moammar Gadhafi is dead. Good luck to the liberated Libyans. One less military mission for the US to support.
