Who said Gaddafi is still in control?

You obviously don’t get my point. Every second Gaddafi remains alive, people get killed.

I only hope Gaddafi is killed while he is still in control. giving orders to kill people.

If he’s captured alive, I would rather have him under trial for terrorism and crimes against humanity. And again, I am against capital punishment, so if he is captured alive, I would want him to get prison for life.

We’ll have to agree to disagree on this.

The mouth will still function after a shot in the hands. I’m sure you don’t believe Gaddafi is actually killing the people himself. He is ordering his men to kill people.

Sadly, that’s nothing new. More and worse has been done before, and that’s why allowing him the easy way out is wrong.

Libyan writer Hisham Matar explains why better than I can in an article called “Justice satisfies a deeper desire than revenge”. Matar’s father, Jaballa, has been missing for several years, so his is not simply a hanut tat-te opinion.

A clean shot to the hands would be more effective. You get the result of a without compromising b.

Are you feeling fine? First you say you want a dignified death for Gaddafi, then you say he deserves a violent one.

If a violent death affords him dignity, then that’s all the more reason for having him face trial.

I suppose you’re one of those who think Ceaucescu, Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden became “martyrs”. I think not.

When they died, their cause died with them.

Pundits would wring their hands and tell us of the waves of terrorst bombings that would follow Bin Laden’s death.

Well, here we are and where are they? Pushing up the daisies, and in Bin Laden’s case, feeding the fishes.

Then you have dictators who end their life peacefully in a retirement home, but that’s another story.

Then so be it. I consider violence and killing to be the right and just way of doing politics in particular circumstances. This is one of them.

Many in the PL must be hoping that the rebels kill Gaddafi and shut him up for good. Only if he’s alive can he tell us about his special relationship with Mintoff and the MLP.

In the meantime, he’s killing people as we speak.
