Death of a Dictator

11/3/2011

0 Comments

 
The Internet was buzzing a few weeks ago on the news that Gadhafi had died. It soon dawned to people that he had been killed in cold blood. The question to be asked: When Gadhafi was caught did he not become POW? Since the UN sanctioned this Civil War with resolution 1973?  Though the liberators were a ragtag army it was supported by the UN through NATO  and this meant that rules of engagement had to be respected by the Liberators. The style of execution used by the liberators was the one common to Gadhafi. This begs the question did liberators turn thuggery like Gadhafi? For no difference was shown and this does not bold well with the new Libya. Of course the world is glad that the new rulers in Libya have calmed our fears by stating that an investigation will take place and bring those guilt to book. It remains to be seen. My concern is that resoluton 1973 was used and this made all the countries in favour of this move to support the Liberators to be eqaully involved. What is surprising is that those in the western world did not distant themselves from this act publicly in the same measure as they had hailed the liberators success of doing away with Gadhafi. Gadhafi was a mass murderer and we could have acted better so that out integrity would remain intact.
