Gaddafi was executed

Topics

Wounded, weakened and covered in blood and dirt, the fallen dictator was dragged from a truck to meet his unceremonious end.
In front of a baying mob, Muammar Gaddafi, the former Libyan leader, begged the revolutionary soldiers for his life.

Becoming increasingly desperate, he asked one rebel fighter: 'What did I ever do to you?'
But his pleas fell on deaf ears.
The deposed despot was mercilessly shot to death, his spilt blood heralding the end of a terrible 42-year epoch in Libyan history.

He is a coward if he was begging for his life

Understandably he caused the death and suffering of many especially of late. But the bigger picture is that the people over there seem to not know the meaning of mercy and forgiveness. From those pictures, it would seem that Saddam Hussein hanging was a difnified approach. When Muhammad of whom they all profess to follow went into Mecca and the people asked for forgiveness, he declared forgiveness for all even though he was the target of so much of their persecution. Atleast it is now over and hopefully the people of Lybia can begin getting their lives back together.

I assume it was a lose mob who shot him. Gadhafi deserved a full and fair trial, not to be shot. But he was given every chance.

Ksazma, maybe from afar it seems logical but remember, almost 50k killed, alot of brutality etc, coupled with a lack of strong central command, you have to expect rogue acts. It's unfortunate that he ended up how he did, but he should have taken the high road and use the opportuning of the uprising to move his nation forward in democracy. On the other hand, it was probably tough with all the cronyism, nepotism and corruption which had taken root in Libya.

Cause of current economic situation in the USA?

Glad the mob killed the SOB. Where did all that fat talk about fighting to the death go?

One period of history has closed.

However, similar to Saddam Hussein, it about 30 to 40 years when the official records become available, it could be revealed that it was not the specific persons who died.

It would be interesting to chart the developments for at least the next 15 years.

Loose mobs or rogues would unlikely be involved with the capture.

It actually seemed to be the case. NATO attacked a convoy and these rebels were nearby and rushed to the scene not knowing it was Gadhafi. They are a collection of fighters not under a central command.

He did say he was going to "fight to the last bullet" ???

This man had his agents place bombs on a Pan Am Jumbo jet and a FTA French airliner killing hundreds and forcing Pan Am into bankruptcy. He claimed his "daughter" was killed in the US air strike which was a well known lie in Libya and the wider Arab world. He now has paid the price for killing thousands of ppl he didn't like.

It is unlikely that he happened to be exactly at that location and in the stated condition for a collection of loose fighters to capture him.

However, as documents become available in about 40 years, it would be interesting to actually read/understand what happened today.

I do not agree with this. There is no honor in killing a defenseless man. If an enemy surrenders they by that act falls under protections for which one fights. This is pure cowardice wrought of a mob mentality. Lets hope these are not the future leaders of Libya.

So why did the US execute Bin Laden? Cowardice on the part of the seals?

Promise to look them up if begging succeeds.
Talk is cheap if you're not on the spot. I seen bigger and badder men than me beg with their heart and soul.

Gaddafi was a soldier who gained power through the military. From a brave and honorable soldier he degenerated into a spineless wimpy coward.

When things are going your way and in your favor it's easy to be brave and honorable. Values change dramatically when there's a gun pointed at your head and you know the person holding it isn't playing.

The minute you put on a military uniform you forfeit your life for honor, queen and country. You know that.

What does that have to do with cowardice or bravery?

I very much suspect that it is not true, but ploy dreamt up by the west to discredit him even in his final moments.

The man said he will die in Libya, he got his wish. How many of us will get our wish in death.
