Thanks, Diana, also for the Lawrence Auster link. To be honest, Qaddafis death doesnt just leave me cold. It leaves me feeling sick to my stomach. And I think I will be feeling sick for many days to come.
As Lawrence Auster correctly says, we killed him. There is no way that the erstwhile rebels would have ever defeated him or captured him without our hellfire missiles and the French Mirages. Actually, they probably could have done without the Mirages. Despite all of Sarkozys preening, it was American military might that brought down Qaddafi and handed him over to the lynch mob that killed him. I dont know if you have seen this video yet. If not, take a deep breath before you do. If Americans are not revolted by such behavior, then we have ourselves descended into total barbarism.
There is one further point re. Qaddafis relationship with the United States my apologies if Ive mentioned this before and Im repeating myself. Actually, there are reasons to doubt Libyan responsibility for both the Berlin disco bombing and the Lockerbie bombing.
Re. the Berlin disco bombing, I think most Americans dont realize that the bomber was in fact German. She was tried and convicted. She had been married to a Palestinian guy who is alleged to have had contacts with Libyan intelligence though she was no longer even married to him at the time that she planted the bomb.

He was an evil man from everything I’ve heard but I have also had a horrible feeling about his death. If we can sanction such animalism, what are we? Who are we? I have nothing against a death penalty but in a humane way.
I am astonished they didn’t cut off his head, stick it on a pike and take it on a victory tour of the country...
I consider the coming regime far worse from a standpoint of US interests... which is all I care about
