    Just because he was mass murder dosen't mean he should be killed like the people he killed, he should have been tried and heard what his people really thought about him. Besides humans have control over there emotions they should have kept him alive instead of killing for revenge which for a brief moment makes theme no better then Gaddafi.

    Do I think they should have killed them like that? No. Am I mad that they killed them like that? No. You have to remember that many of the rebels lost their friends and family members to Gafaffi.

    I honestly don't care on how they dealt with him. I think he was shot out of anger of the rebels more than an execution. He's dead, the people are happy now. I'm not sure about displaying the body though. One part of me says its disgusting and desecrating. But at the same time, I think the rebels wanted to show the people directly that the tyrant that oppressed them is dead and not secretly hiding in a hole or Bin Laden's house.
    Plus I believe you can't make up for anything evil you do by doing good things.

    They didn't follow the tradition of dumping the body off an aircraft carrier.

    I hate it when a burial follows the religious procedure of the deceased too.

    Pretty much they captured him, beat him up, executed someone without any means of defense and then stole all his stuff. Good going NTC good going.

    Well the NTC should have called the actions of the Soldiers as barbaric and no better then the savage they fought to get rid of.

    (well i suppose it would be Barbaric giving the fact there not Greek)

    I'm trying to feel bad for Gaddafi but I'm just happy he's dead, I haven't felt this good about someone dying since Bin Ladin

    I just hope that Libya doesn't break out into tribal infighting and enter civil war again, i really hope that they get "democracy" or at least more rights in there country. But Gaddafi death is still a good thing, tough no one should fell happy about anyones death.


    Tough im wondering if the fact that the Islamist group winning in Tunisia going to carry over to Libya.
