1. Hmm.
Can we all start to feel better after they chop him to pieces?

3. I would much rather see him before the World Court.
I do not EVER want to see anyone hacked to death via machete.

I don't care how evil the person is.

6. Totally agree.
There is a difference between justice and vengeance.

11. I wish we could have afforded the same rights to Saddam and OBL
it would have made a bigger statement to the world then the 'swaggering showmanship' we put on. Well at least to me it would have.

4. Don't be surprised, if that should happen,
at the reaction, even from Democrats.

There wasn't much outrage over the killing in the streets of some of his supporters, or of the Black Africans Immigrants.

I would like to know what happens once he is gone? His supporters are all going to bow down to the Western Puppet who will be installed?

12. The western puppet regimen may take boots on the ground to install.
The talk is that it would be British and French forces initially, but would anyone in America be surprised to learn that the US will contribute peace keeping and trainers (got to teach the people how to effectively fight each other)?

10. It would certainly illustrate how far "the people" can go when pushed by power
I won't be watching the spectacle. But it's a lesson to those who would retreat to their yachts for safety.

13. We already saw plenty of peaceful demonstrators murdered in the streets for months.
The world doesn't see to blink an eye when that happens.

I'm sure there will be plenty of crocodile tears coming from people who are convinced all those Libyans rising up against Qaddafi are bunch of puppets for some PNAC disaster capitalist plot to bring down the radical populist Ghaddafi or whatever bullshit script they're reading from.

15. Well, you're here in the US so of course that would be what you

would think. And of course we now have the reputation of being barbaric, so our cheering on Barbarism and torture will no longer come as a surprise to the rest of the World.

Maybe you might ask what will be the opinion of the people whose lives will actually be affected by what happens in an African country and the countries who benefitted from Libya's donations to their economies.

But then, it's Africa. Most Americans probably still think it's a Country. At least one of our national candidates for high office certainly thought so.

But as far as who cares? Our leaders in the West care, an awful lot. So much they are involved in the so-called 'uprising', funding it, supplying it with weapons etc. Why do you think that is? We are not doing so in Syria, eg, to 'save the Syrian people from a brutal regime'?

Just months ago, President Obama, Hillary Clinton, French President Sarkozy, Berlusconi, Cameron and the British Govt and even one of their Princes, were partying with Qadaffi and rushing to get their photos taken with him. For business purposes of course, after all they worked hard to get those business contracts in Libya.

Who cares you asked? THEY care! Libya has oil, so of course they care.
