Muammar Gaddafi killed as Sirte falls

Unlikely the people will get what they want. Someone similar to Gaddafi will take power.

Oh, rest assured the role that NATO played in this will be forgotten very quickly by Libya...until something goes wrong, and then it will all be NATOs fault.

The fate of libya is uncertain but i would bet on tribal war similar to whats going on in Iraq.

The tribes supporting Qaddafi are not defeated yet and there is a question if the rebels will stick together.
Add to this possible outside interests.

Another leader Qaddafi style is good case scenario.

Goodbye to bad rubbish :haha:

I will have to agree.

Qaddafi (in terms to middle eastern despots) was mild and at least able to be talked to diplomatically.

I remember him (so called) dismantling his nuclear program not too long ago to appease the UN (US). Which I saw as a good faith sign.

He just wasn't good for his own people, and that is all that mattered. (my country was born of rebellion too, so I get it)

Hopefully the people of Libya get what they fought and shed blood for. Would be a shame to see it spiral something even worse. Your point on tribal position jostling, and infighting leaves me in fear for their future.

When this revolution started, I said that Ghadaffi was gonna end up going out like Mussolini.

Anybody want to hear my other predictions? :know:

Only if you have the winning lottery numbers... :DL

It will be interesting to see what tribal leader will take his place. Will it be an anti-western dictator or a pro-western dictator. I'd wager this revolution will more specifically place a European friendly dictator in. And that it doesn't have jack squat to do with the freedom and democracy bandwagon everyone always drools over. Instead it's more to do with Europe's need for oil and preventing Russia from gaining complete control of how much oil Europe can have and at what price.

Russia several years ago went to war for oil so has the United States. Of course we hear from our pacifist European friends how wrong that is. But as we see in Libya, Europe will too. They just stage a revolution and let someone else spill their blood for it. I wonder if releasing al-Megrahi wasn't Europe's way of kissing Libyan butt to keep receiving its oil from BP instead of GAZPROM.

No, Magrahi was just to stop Britain humiliating itself again in the courts.

Well he is history now...I hope the Libyan people can now look forward to some peace and stability.

It seems it could be as a part of the improvement in relations between Libya and UK.
It was done supposedly on Qaddafi request after he denounced WMD development and promised to be a good boy, securing some deals with EU.
(he did not like what happened to Saddam Hussein)
I should say it saved embarrassment to both countries while the Scots took the fire.

Yeah actually it would be good thing to see for a change.

So many brainwashed people here...

Orwell was obviously right.
