Hussein did use gas against the Kurds as well as against the Iranians in the Iran-Iraq war.

Not to mention his campaign of genocide against the Kurds, the commonplace murder of his political enemies, his son Uday's crimes were at the very least overlooked, if not condoned.

While there may or may not have been chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons present in 2003, his regime needed to end. It should have happened in 1991, especially when many Iraqis revolted hoping UN forces would help them, but better Hussein be removed from power 15 years late than to have his son take over who would likely have been just as bad.

As to why the middle east, Africa, and eastern Europe are as screwed up as they are today is entirely a different story, but we can't undo the imperialism of the last 300 years.

do you think NATO needs reasons? do you really believe in those stories? There are Turks currently attacking the Kurds in Iraq as well. Should Turkey be bombed?

Main "reason" to attack Iraq was that "Iraq has a weapons of mass destruction which can be used against western world". I haven´t seen those weapons yet - did you?

The world is much bigger than USA and NATO. And the true is far more bigger than corporate media in the western countries. As you probably know the military employees work in those media as well - to create the ´true´ which suits the military purposes. Try to question everything you hear there and soon you´ll begin to see the reality as it is and not the reality they want you to see.

I never said there were WMD in Iraq in 2003, there may or may not have been we'll never know. My point was that Hussein repeatedly showed the world that he was willing to use chemical and biological weapons as well as commit mass murder. Because of this his regime needed to be ended. It should have happened in 1991, it took 15 more years and the "reasons" we invaded in 2003 may or may not have been fabricated, but it needed to be done.

That said the UN needs to take a much more proactive and aggressive role in "peacekeeping." Currently UN "peacekeeping" is a joke. The soldiers need to be armed and they need to be authorized to use force in defense of not only their lives but also the lives of others.

That the UN refuses to involve itself in situations where there is a clear need for outside intervention (Darfur, Rwanda, Burundi to name a few) is a disgrace. It is long since time that an individual nation's sovereignty is nullified when it commits or allows serious crimes against its people to be committed.

Ghadaffi dead?

I didn't realize that The Ghadaffi Dead were still touring.



Did anyone ever figure out the correct spelling of his name? How will it be spelled on his grave? (Assuming no burial at sea)



Yes. Among the items seized in the compound raids was a passport that had an English spelling of his name. I don't recall what it was, but as I recall absolutely no western agency; US government or media had ever used THAT particular spelling.

I wonder if he will get a burial at sea?



Probably the same fate as Saddam. Buried in secret where nobody will know the location.

I bet not.



Why not? New government in control now. Why would they want his grave to become a shrine?

OBL was killed by US soldiers, some will say he was a martyr of the capitalist devil. Ghadaffi was killed by his peers.

They do seem to be working towards thta finally..... baby steps my dear... baby steps



NATO left Gaddafi in power for what? 4 decades? Because, you know, he sold his oil to the Western nations. Nothing changed that, not even G. blowing up a jet liner over Scotland. And then finally the Libyan people got sick of their dictator, and started a revolution. When it became clear the rebels had a real shot at becoming the new owner of the Libyan oil, NATO couldn't get on his knees to swallow the cock of this potential new owner of the oil fast enough.

And don't get me wrong, I can relate to that, for the right price I'll probably swallow any cock too, but at least in that case I woudn't pretend to be anything nobler then a whore. It's a step in the right direction in comparison to (for example) Iraq, which simply was/is robbing a nation from it's oil under false pretences, but it's miles away from something that has the semblance of a noble cause.

WOW!! 112 different ways to spell his name?

At least now I can find some peace in his death. :D

seems that [Ghaddafi] was severely wounded during the Syrte attack, and that he died.



That's generally what happens to people who are summarily executed after capture: they die.

Not that I'm shedding tears. Live by the sword, et al.



I have to agree but its not the most auspicious way to begin a democracy.

As much as I didn't like the Raïs, he was put down worse than any animal. The people who did that deserve no respect. They are not human.

Well, looking at it from a military perspective, Bush allowed Osama Bin Laden to attack the US. Obama got him. Hard to claim that's not an improvement, or not worthwhile.



That's not the way my friends who are in the military see it. They see it as Clinton allowed the attacks and it was Bush who got OBL. Obama just watched it happen.



Anyhow you look at it, more tyrannical dictators have been overthrown and more terrorist leaders killed with less loss of US lives and treasure under Obama's watch than under Bush's.

And Obama hasn't even posed under a "Mission Accomplished" banner.

A school example of middle age barbarism. Even more, killing a war prisoner is a crime against humanity. But hey, who dares to accuse NATO general anyway? Who is next to be shot down? Iran? Syria? China?



That looked like a normal arrest by the LAPD to me! ;)
It's all been said before, no sense repeating it here.
