No, because I'm British. Him no longer breathing would be enough for me - I wouldn't cheapen myself by behaving like a monkey.

Yes, but us Americans would tie him to the back of our Dodge Ram and drive him down Route 66.

Seconded. We're not barbaric savages. This isn't the Dark Ages, we don't need to hang, draw and quarter him. A single gunshot and a burial will suffice.

Seriously. What ever happened to the grim satisfaction of an unpleasant job well done? I wish we still ran the world sometimes, old bean.
And we won't see the real thing because they don't want to give ammo to the practically cult-like AQ recruiting officers.

Personally, its good that he is 'Kaput'... One less maniacal, crazy despot in the world. The good Colonel was up there with Saddam Hussien and Idi Amin...

Is it? This is north Africa we're talking about.
Certainly his son didn't need to die, but I'd say this is normal procedure in overthrowing a facist dictator...

Is it? Those two may have been responsible for the rape, torture and murder of hundreds of people. They may have been resisting capture. Let's reserve judgement.

They were part of the same regime, it's not hard to imagine they were killed in combat or while resisting capture. It's also not hard to imagine they were captured and summarily executed. Either way, I think the thought is that the regime must be wiped out. That is very sensible if you consider what surviving remnants of the Baath party did in Iraq.

Fashion crime deserves the most severe of punishments and the Libyans are the first to recognize that fact. Soon all of the middle east will be filled with well groomed and well dressed people, along with smouldering pyres of those who aren't well dressed or well groomed.

Are you facepalming because you think there's a correct way to spell it? Arab names typically have no standard anglicization.
Troll on love.
The most commonly accepted name is Gaddafi. There is no Y in any of the spellings.
"Muammar Gaddafi" is the spelling used by TIME, Newsweek, Reuters, BBC News, the majority of the British press and by the English service of Al-Jazeera

Troll? I think I just taught you something useful. It is much like arguments over how to spell al-Qaida (al Qaeda?) or Osama (Usama?). There is no correct answer because it is all transliteration.
As for your no 'y' theory: MSNBC has used Khaddafy. Next time Google before trying to be authoritative on a subject.

I'm pretty sure the man himself spelled it a half dozen ways when he had things written in english.

In the 80s the correct nomenclature typically began with a Kh and ended with a y. I think I might even have an old Newsweek somewhere with him on the cover.

'Daffi is dead. The only dispute is over what killed him. Some reports say his convoy was straffed by NATO aircraft trying to flee Sirte, others say he died in the city to small arms fire.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.
It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.
Oh, wait. That embrace of this horrible monster started when Republicans controlled the House, Senate, and the Presidency. Bush pushed for ending sanctions there, and Obama helped end him, instead.
But, hey, good try trying to awkwardly shoehorn in your deflective, partisan agenda anyway! I look forward to you continuing to do so no matter how tangentially related the topic.
