@Smudger:
I watched that video and felt so bad for Gaddafi. Crowds of filthy gun toting overeager militants jeering and shoving him around like a bloody trophy. What an appalling death!
I don't really care what he has done in the past. The guy should have been held to trial….not chased into a storm drain and shot to shit moments before parading him about while he begs and bleeds to death.
But yeah....all hail the next government that have successfully killed thousands of people to gain power. Here's to watching them suppress and torture the remaining loyalists the next ten years.
raises glass of blood in the air
What a disgracefully undemocratic first page into its history. If only we could have had something similar to Saddams demise.
What the hell, is this a serious post?

@Smudger:
Thousands have died on both sides, and most of it is down to their firm beliefs of a better country and not because they have merely been ordered to fight. The fact is he should have faced trial for it, and shown the world how this country/government will lead itself.
The thing is at what point will they stop killing? will every single pro Gaddafi person who ever fought or lived in his inner circle be rounded up? or will this country try and give itself a new slate and move on from the bloodshed.
Cite the deaths on the Loyalist side, and than cite the civilian deaths on the loyalist side.
If you're having crocodile tears about loyalist soldiers, than what the fuck is skewed in your head.
I'd expect better from someone on this forum when we have 150 pages about a clear WAR, not some simple uprising like with Egypt or Tunisia, a horrible violent ego-driven WAR between loyalist soldiers and mostly armed civilians caused by this very man, this man who essentially would have seen Bar Kum dead as a doornail and everyone he knew just because his city dared to rise up.
You've done clearly NO reading on the NTC's stance on former loyalists, or even the average Libyans.
But maybe you're right. Maybe Libya is going the violent anti-democratic direction.
Lord knows we don't want Libya to turn into such nightmarish bloodbaths like Italy and Romania. You have quite the point.
