Give me a break. Qadaffi was a cruel despot who ruled Libya for over 40 years killing and torturing tens of thousands of its citizens. He also killed Americans in Berlin and in the skies above Scotland. Comparing him to Sarah or Rush is beyond stupid.
Justice by a military court leading to a firing squad is acceptable justice. Mob rule is not, ever, under any circumstances.
Acceptable to whom? Justice by a military court? Why not immediate exection on sight? NATO has been trying to kill him for months. We just killed two American citizens in Yemen without any trial or reading of Miranda rights. Qadaffi was at war with the Libyan people. He opted to fight to the death rather than surrender. Get off of your moral high horse.
There can be no closure for families who have suffered injustice at the hands of evil men when they are murdered by lunatics. Justice, meted out by law, is the only form of retribution that mitigates injustice.
Pure BS. Qadaffi was not murdered by lunatics. He was killed by the forces of the recognized government of Libya who had been fighting for weeks around Sirte. NATO air strikes halted the convoy that was trying to escape the city. Mussolini suffered a similar fate. I have been watching the coverage by al Jazeera. I can tell you that the celebrations going on in the streets of Tripoli and elsewhere have provided all of the needed "closure" and other psycho-babble for the people of Libya. They don't need some sort of Stalinist show trial, just the pictures and videos of a very dead Qadaffi.
Already a monument: As celebrations continued, more and more graffiti appeared at the entrance to the drain where the leader was eventually found
