Eh, no.

Kev, I don’t know why you liked Gaddafi. According to Alfred Sant he financed the pro-EU campaign.

I admire Mintoff a lot, but I never admired or worshipped Gaddafi, so do not try to be funny.

Common decency requires now that his corpse be given a decent burial and not used as a trophy of war.

I also believe that whatever a criminal has done, it is never right to do the same to that person. Of course you will instinctively want revenge and want to kill that person but we are not animals and our morals and values tell us that whilst justice needs to be done one cannot take justice into our own hands as otherwise we will have anarchy.

The recent stupid comments that were made about the person who killed that dog in a skip show how people can easily loose it. They go from one extreme – puppy loving people – to another – torturers and murderers.

It was quite obvious that Ghaddafi was not going down without a fight and I think it was he who said that he will fight till the end. From his final words I would assume he did not imagine it would come to this and that he believed he would win.

In general I think that the Libyans are better off this way, it will take less time to move forward, however they have missed the opportunity to show the world that they are now a different nation, obviously a nation is not changed overnight but it could have been a brilliant start.

Having said all this I don’t think this is a time for jubilation but a sorrowful time, a time to remember how many lives have been lost. Yes the Libyans are allowed jubilation at the end of the war, they are also allowed to enjoy being rid of Ghaddafi, but i think that we on the other hand should not be happy at the way he was killed or the gawking that ensued.

We should not judge the Libyans as barbaric I agree you need to be there to understand.

But then we should not go to the other extreme and say this is right otherwise there will be mayhem now in Libya. What if the fighters now start turning on other people with the excuse that they were supporting the dictator. Then anyone can be lynched… We would then have the same problem we had with Ghaddafi in the first place.

Kevin, he who lives by the sword dies by the sword.

I don’t know what I might have done to him if he had tortured or killed one of my close relatives, like the two pilots who were returned to him from Algeria and who were tortured and had a pressure pipe stuck in their bottoms and …opened.

Wouldn’t a shot in the head have been enough?

Yes for us westerners they are barbaric acts, but the Kordin Imam told us today that Gaddafi deserved to die that death.

Who would dare try to be the dictator of Libya now?

From your comments and some other people’s comments one can easily figure out how things would have been in Malta in this situation had there been a Labour government:
Dr Alfred Sant as prime minister;
a NO vote on the UN 1976 Security Council resolution with all its implications;
and a Xandir Malta style media bombardment on how Malta supports Gaddafi’s cause;
a NO vote on the bailout of Greece and other countries.

You don’t do altruism well, Kevvy.

Unknowing? So perhaps you can share what YOU know?

Acts of barbarism? Well, what do you know? Here is something I would like to share with you

Gaddafi was very lucky to have been killed straight away, unlike most of his prisoners who spent years in his jails before they were summarily executed.

May I add that the average Libyan is very hospitable and friendly. They are the nicest of all the Arabs I met. I would gladly live amongst them.
