Re: Gaddafi Has Been Captured

  • Al Jazeera confirmed his death a little bit ago too. Yallah Libya!

  • Though, I do have to say, I feel great for the people of Libya who are liberated from this dictator. But, as I've watched each of these guys fall in turn and even as bin Laden was captured and killed. I can't help but think that these men were somebody's babies once upon a time.

    I mean, can you imagine Ghaddafi's mom looking at her little newborn baby, then watching what he grew up to become? I wonder if she agreed with him or if she was disappointed in him. Same goes for all the others. I totally understand the Libyan's desire to celebrate this - they worked really hard and fought and died to get their country back. But still, something about celebrating a death like this rubs me the wrong way a little. I feel like mourning the fact that he went so wrong somewhere along the line in the first place.

  • I agree Mel, it is really hard to think about.

    I am happy for Lybia, I hope that they get the government they want and deserve. I am glad that he isn't in power any more... That is something amazing.

  • I hear ya, Mel. I look at my DD and pray that she grows to be a kind, responsible, sensible, giving adult. And I know that example has to start with me.

    T&Ps for a nation that will undoubtably be going through a great deal of turmoil and changes in the near future.

  • I've always had those same thoughts, Mel.  I can see both sides of it.

  • Al Jazeera is trying to decide whether or not to air the cellphone video of his death. I kind of hope they don't - I think it's poor taste and no one needs to see that. El Mundo published a still photo and it's horrible.

    Yikes. I will be avoiding links to that when they post; you know they will "leak" somehow or other.

  • Al Jazeera just ran the video. OMG. I really wish I never saw that. They gave hardly any warning and looped it three times. OMG.

    Why? Why? Why?  No one needs to see that.  I never wanted to see the photos of Bin Laden.

    I don't see the need for that
