Strange how they found him hiding in a hole....I wonder who the last tyrant was that was found in similar circumstances

Yeah, you have to wonder, why don't these guys know when it's time to get our of Dodge? They certainly have the $$ to bail. If I were Ghaddafi, I would be living large in a Swiss ski chalet right now.

Well, me, I'm happy to see another dictator fall. Here's hoping for democracy there (it could happen).

Good news Bad news. Not sure which it is yet. Don't like the way he was handled but can understand the anger after so many years of oppression. Good to see him out of the picture, but the way forward is certainly going to have a few twists in it.

Agreed and the last words he probably head were "Quite dog!!" and "God is Great!!"

I think the reason that he didn't bail was mainly believing he could crush the revolution, and by the time he'd realized it was too late all of his funds held in international banks had been frozen.

I'm glad he's dead. However i would have prefered him to stand trial and spend the rest of his days locked in a cage, death was much too good for him.

Libya has a chance for a bright future now, but its really anyones guess how this will turn out. Hopefully they will elect someone who will do whats best for the country instead of letting another monster take the reins.

We may never know how he really died, if he was executed after his capture then whoever did it is no better than Gaddafi. I can understand the anger the Rebels felt towards him, but cold blooded murder is just wrong.

At least this time the war (battle,engagement?) cannot be blamed on the US, France led this one and we only played a supporting role. I'm so tired of hearing how the US is fighting all these wars over oil and yet we have incredibly high gas prices here. If we were fighting for oil, it sure isn't showing up here in the US for the common civilian.

Iraq was unfinished business for us, We should have just finished the job in 91. Lets not forget how many chances Saddam was given to allow inspections of his arsenal before we took any action. He refused and paid the price. We know he had the weapons at one time because the US gave them to Iraq to use against Iran, What became of those weapons is still unknown, Maybe they were used in the Iran/Iraq war, Maybe they were dismantled, Maybe they were sold to another nation, Maybe they are buried somewhere in the desert, but the fact is they are still unaccounted for.

Afganistan was payback for 9/11. Bin Laden and his terrorist organization attacked the US. There is not a Nation on Earth that would not have struck back after such an attack. I personally think President Clinton should have taken Bin Laden out when he had the chance instead of waiting 8 hours to authorize the tomahawk stikes on the terrorist training camps. Instead it fell into President Bush's lap within a few months of becoming President. Its always blamed on Bush, but the fact is 9/11 might not have happened if Clinton had not wasted enough time for Bin Laden to escape.

In Libya we were asked to help after Gaddafi attacked his own people with the military. We neither started it or lead the actions. We supported the other Countries and the Libyan people to overthrow someone that held power long after the population wanted him gone. It was not like He didn't have a chance to escape, he foolishly thought he could win and it cost him his life. I hope for the best for the people of Libya but i'm concerned that a new monster will replace the old one.

Apparently the death of Gaddafi is a bad thing (according to the Republicans):

I feel sorry for Colonel Gadaffi.

It's a sad world when an elderly man can't enjoy a private moment with his pipe.

From the sewers straight to the fridge.

Gaddafi has a lot in common with Fosters.
