"Last photo of Libya's Dictator"

BBC: Libya's ex-leader Col Muammar Gaddafi has been killed after an assault on his home town of Sirte, the transitional authority's acting prime minister says. Mahmoud Jibril told a news conference in Tripoli it was time to launch a new, united Libya.

The International Criminal Court has been seeking his arrest >>>

Putting aside the savegery of the killing it was also stupid. 

Ghaddafi knew a lot and it was stupid to kill him. At the
minimum they should have interrogated him to find out all the secrets . How much money is going to sit in secret accounts forever unclaimed? How many deals had he made and who owed him favors. 

Now all those are never going to be known to Libya. Dictators do not give away information. Now it is all gone with him for good.

served justice much better then this outcome, nevertheless there is one less dictator in this world and that is a good thing.

Comedian Jeffrey Ross

by Anonymous Observer on

showed up at the roast of Charlie Sheen dressed up as Qaddafi.  He looked just like him too.  Very funny:

Here's the real Qaddafi in the same uniform:

Qaddafi should have fled when he had the chance.  What was he thinking?  That he will defeat the rebels and NATO and rule again?

Common sense has never been a hallmark of these petty dictators.  From Moussolini to Saddam to Qaddafi...and hopefully soon to Khamenei and Assad.

Gaddafi's Libyan rule exposed in lost picture archive

 

//www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jul/18/gaddafi-brutal-regime-exposed-lost-archive 

Please read this story:

//nafissa82.blogspot.com/2011/09/epic-martyr-sadeq-hamed-shwehdi.html 

"... Many if not all know about the notorious execution of Sadeq Hamed Shwehdi in April 1984 in Benghazi in front of thousands of students who were bussed into Benghazi’s basketball stadium to witness a frightening hanging of a young man with curly hair and beard kneeling with his hands bound behind his back, his legs crossed and his eyes echoing sadness and fear of what is to come. Sadeq pled for his life and then when he felt his execution is inevitable, he kept begging Gaddafi’s thugs to see his mother for the last time but his request was coldly denied. His crime was being a Libyan opposition member who challenged Gaddafi’s regime and aimed for a better Libya where everyone can have their least basic rights.... As Sadeq was executed in front of the crowd, a woman in olive green shouted and waved her clenched fists. Later, in an indescribably and sickening show of zeal, she pulled at Shwehdi’s legs as he writhed on makeshift gallows, until he stopped struggling. ... Sadeq did not die right away. He was taken to a hospital, where Gaddafi’s thugs ordered to kill him for the second time by lethal injection! The doctor who was ordered to inject him couldn't dare to do it and Gaddafi's thugs didn't hesitate to beat the doctor to death and afterward they went to another medical camp inside Bab-Al Aziziya compound and decided to put a sock in his mouth filled with sand until he chocked up and ultimately martyred. He suffered so much and I consider the death sentence of Sadeq Hamed Shwehdi was one of the most ineffable executions that can neither be forgotten nor forgiven ...."

Gaddafi

by statira on

wasn't nearly as bad as Sadam, Khomeini and Khamenei. He did not deserve to be treated like that. I wonder what Iranian are gonna do with Khamenei and Basijis?

Is Hugo Chavez Mourning the death of Dictator Kaddafi?

by Delavar1 on

Now that Hugo Chavez lost his friend Kaddafi, He will hopefully lose his best buddy the IRR president Mahmood Ahmadinejad and Representative of Imam Zaman on earth Imam Khamenei as well sometime in the future.

How much did the Nato bombings cost?

by Fatollah on

would be nice to see him confess, reveal some juicy deatils of his dealings with the World's leaders and international companies! This is not the way to build a civil society out of the "rubbles" of a dictatorship + Nato ... how rich was exactly Libya?


Cost-of-Progress

These guys (Mobarak, Ghazzafi, Saleh,...and eventually Asad)

by Cost-of-Progress on

must have become useless to somebody. I sure hope that whoever is behind all this has thought it through.

One would hope, or expect, that the Iran case would be a good lesson for all.

(good lesson for seculars, as well as islamists - who can swing harder and farther, is the question)

Veiled Prophet of Khorasan

Not great news

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on

 

I do not find this barbaric desecration of a dead body great news. For once I agree with DM (still not talking :-). People do not start a new chapter this way. Besides Ghaddafi ran Libya for decades.

He had a great deal of knowledge which is all gone with him. Would it not have been more reasonable to put him try him. Find out what he knows and then use that to improve their nation. But they opted for a few minutes of sick revenge.

Italy did not become an "Islamic Republic"

by Roozbeh_Gilani on

After Italians killed their own Fascist Dicatator and hanged him upside down after venting their anger on his corpse.

Yes, I have no doubt that this will be the end game for khamenei and ahmadinezhad and the entire leadership of the islamist regime unless they leave for Canada or England before it's too late...

Dictators are of two kinds: pro west and anti west

by Disenchanted on

 

      We have seen Saddam and Ghaddafi's demise not becuase of their crimes but because they didn't play ball with the west. Nevertheless it is a good riddance!

        The question is when the time comes for pro west tyrants, in Yemen, Saudi, Bahrain and more?

Say Hello to the US-British sponsored Muslim Brotherhood!!!

by Schahram on

Cheering here around shows that most Iranians have NOTHING learned from the Islamic Revolution.

Most of the Iranians do not seem to understand that the ultimat game is
to install a NEW GREEN BELT from Morocco via Egypt-Syria until central
asia to prevent China and Russia from influence and to control the oil.

What THEY plan for Iran is not a Regime Change, but just a slight shift
in intenational Foreign Policy of the Islamic Republic. It is so easy...

 Difficult and very hard and dark times the arab states have all ahead...!

Gaddafi's dead body was dragged through the streets of Misurata.

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on

Based on that report, What ever happens next, Islamic govt etc it will be after lots more bloodshed of innocent lives.  My hallucination is this is not going to be a peaceful transition.  Protecting civilians, I wonder how many in this world knows how disingenuous that stated motive was. The War Criminals will not just be free to continue in other parts of the world, but they may even get a pat on the back as weapons sales continue to climb.  With time some may realize later that this was not a day for cheerfulness. How people cheer any brutality is pitiful.


Faramarz

The Man with the Golden Gun

by Faramarz on

When NATO planes hit the convoy that Moamar and his sons were escaping the city of Sirte, he got out and hid in a cement sewage pipe. They found him with a golden pistol in his hand! Like the ones that Bijan of Rodeo Drive used to sell.

A dictator always has to go in style! I wonder if they capture Rahbar in a sewage pipe, would he be carrying his golden Aftabeh with him!

 

p.s. Take a note of the folks who are silent or unhappy today. You can trace them back to a particular organization!


Dr. Mohandes

I concur

by Dr. Mohandes on

With dariush. Dragging and kicking the body and making clownish gesture around it to show utter contempt, is the sign of total backwardness, regardless of how vicious and tyrannical a dictator is.

This never solved any major problems ...

More responses

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on

 

  • Darius: Right I hope if we do get another revolution it will be civilized. If people go for the mob and start by tearing Mullahs to pieces it is not a good start. By all means arrest Khamenei; then have him tried and punished.
  • OnlyIran: Maybe it is because those you consider IRI supporters on this site are not. Perhaps the assumption that all these people are paid agents is wrong. People are too much in a rush to label others as agents of IRI.
  • COP: You said "Middle East and the rest of the world may be in for a rude awakening.....more rude than the last 10-15 years" That is what I am worried about. Yet another Islamic Republic of ***.

I am worried about the same thing! I bet soon there will be Islamic Republic of Libya. Before you all get packing to go back remember this. Watch what happens in Libya. If they get an Islamic Republic then what?

Great we get to see Khamenei dragged in the streets. Beaten to a pulp and dead. Then we get the New Islamic Republic! Why bother if that is going to be the result. Give me a secular regime or don't bother replacing one ***hole with another one.

Don't congratulate yourself or Lybian

by darius on

Do no texpect any freedom and democracy any soon , when people

behave like savages.

Yes , he was a dictator ,but tearing him apart infront of cameras in the name of God and freedom is not a good start,  it is  really  sad to see  United Nation and other democratic country encourage such actions  just because th eend result is in their favor.

Congratulations to the Libyan People

by Fair on

Isn't it satisfying that scum like Qaddhafi and Saddam who spent their whole adult lives terrorizing innocent civilians of their own country, end up in a hole in the ground or a sewer running away, begging for their lives.  I look forward to the day when Bashar Asad, Khamenei, and all the other scum meet the same fate.  Unfortunately, they will not leave without killing many more innocent Syrians and Iranians.  They have nowhere near the decency of the late Shah of Iran.
