ironic, the more dictators talk about strength and honour and power during their reign, the less dignity they show when they finally lose it.

The west made pacts with the devil when they cosied up to all these arab despots, in an attempt to control islamic extremism.

Just hope the Libyans can get out of this one without all turning on each other, or becoming a terrorist state again, because I would like to visit!

Situation in Syria seems to be getting worse, though, without a clear alternative force to back, and no way is NATO going to get trapped into that one. Not good news for the protesters!

Qaddafi died from acute lead poisoning brought on by a bullet that lodged itself in his head . Fascinating

This list is not complete. Keep going. If I mention a few, the forum may get upset.

STRENGTH IS BUILT FROM ONES FAILURES NOT FROM ONES SUCCESSES –COCO CHANEL

The dictator's final scene is similar to Mussolini's fate. Though in this case his last indignity was the delay in burial (should have been within 24 hours per Islamic tradition)...not hung upside down in a public square for viewing...

Follow the mind, or follow the herd: that's the question.

What's to probe ? Deposed dictator gets whacked by angry mob - seems pretty straightforward to me. Mind you, I'm sure David Caruso would be more than happy to go over to Libya, make cryptic remarks and take his sunglasses on and off. May I be the first to suggest " Waltz For A Pig " as the opening credit song for the exciting new Jerry Bruckheimer miniseries " CSI : Sirte ".

Sanity is not statistical

Back when OBL got killed there were a few folks who suggested that he should have been captured rather than shot. It's hard to say how practical that really would have been for a team of special ops doing their job on the other side of a border, but in Gaddaffi's case, it does seem like he actually was captured and then shot summarily.

Wouldn't it have been better if Gaddaffi had been captured and put on trial? The end result would have been the same, but giving such proceedings over to the rule of law generally lends a movement credibility.

This young soldier announced he shot him in the head.

I do agree with Geeman's point about credibility. Gaddafi was hated for his violence and contempt for the law. His opponents have, at least in this moment, become what they despised.

Clinton backs calls to investigate Gadhafi's death

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says she supports calls for an investigation into the death of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi as part of Libya's transition from dictatorship to democracy.

Gadhafi was captured wounded, but alive Thursday in his hometown of Sirte. Bloody images of Gadhafi being taunted and beaten by his captors have raised questions about whether he was killed in crossfire, as suggested by government officials, or was executed.

Clinton tells NBC's "Meet the Press" that she backs a proposal that the United Nations investigate Gadhafi's death and that Libya's Transitional National Council look into the circumstances, too.

Clinton says a democratic Libya should begin with the rule of law and accountability, as well as unity and reconciliation. She says investigating Gadhafi's death is part of the process.
