``As a Christian, I feel that Gaddafi should have been treated with dignity``.

As a Christian, I am sobered by the thought of Gaddafi having to face the Final Reckoning by his Maker.  During his lynching, I hope he had time to realise  the enormity of his crimes and  to repent before facing His Judgement.

I cannot  help but compare the end for Gaddafi with the horror of that scene in  The Passion of the Christ (wonderful film that for its realism) when Judas was relentlessly hounded by screaming little children with demoniac , twisted  faces out to get him.

What a tragic way to end one`s life and an even greater one to start eternity.]]></description>

I&#039;m talking about deception and ulterior motives, Baxxter, and you are one of the many millions who&#039;ve been had. Yours is the standard justification - as if I&#039;m not aware of it!

You need a paradigm shift. Otherwise that deep rut you&#039;re in will become your home for good.]]></description>

Amen to that Baxxter. BTW, I&#039;ve seen that smile, and on a nowhere near miserable face.

Kevvy, go wash the dishes.]]></description>

Kev, I&#039;ve explained this at least a gazillion times before: Wisdom dictates you only pick those fights you can win. This is why everyone is rightly bashing US strategy in Afghanistan.

Libya was a golden opportunity. A war that was winnable, at minimal cost. and with huge returns. So we fought it. And won.

Don&#039;t lie. No one ever said that democracy has dawned over Libya. We only wanted to rid the world of a dictator who was a nuisance to Europe. If Al Qaeda is installed in his place, we&#039;ll fight another war if we have to. So be it.

I fully justify this lynching since it resulted in the definite elimination of Gaddafi. From a PR point of view, it was brilliantly, if unwittingly, done. Many dictators around the Middle East will have a lump in their throat. That makes them all the more amenable to our persuasion/diplomatic overtures/arm-twisting. I see nothing but positive results here.

In the middle of a financial crisis which will lead to misery for my generation, and placid, cynical contentment for yours, this is one event that has put a smile upon my otherwise miserable face. Let us rejoice, goddammit, and thank the Americans and the French.]]></description>

I never defended him, ciccio - believe it or not. Briefly, my point is that whereas there are far worse dictators than Gaddafi, he was selectively targeted for reasons other than those specified, and his crimes were hugely exaggerated through vicious lies.

Then we find out that the NTC&#039;s armed forces are led by &#039;former&#039; Al Qaeda terrorists many of which formed part of the Libyan Islamist Fighting Group, which is on the US and UK terrorist lists (this is very telling when you know the long history of collusion between Western intelligence and &#039;Al Qaeda terrorists&#039;).

Finally, after we&#039;re told that democracy has dawned across Libya, Gaddafi is captured and summarily executed by an barbaric mob standing for an army.

To justify this lynching you&#039;d need to admit that it is not over in Libya. The tyranny continues and the fighting will go on.]]></description>
