Bearing in mind that none of us have any significant influence on the situation, and this conversation is purely theoretical and not worth getting worked up over....
He was as he was, for better or worse. I would have preferred that someone not make a martyr out of him. There seems to be a pattern that high-ranking officials of invaded countries, and even their families, are targeted for summary execution. There also seems to be a pattern of suspicious deaths and blatant murders even in ostensibly civilized Europe.
Silverseeds point about double standards is well-taken. TBTB only "liberate" countries with strategic mineral assets--particularly and especially petroleum--or which lie in the path of same.
Breakdown of rule of law is a hazard for all of us.
I just looked up the figures on casualties. The estimates vary by so wide a margin as to be meaningless. But the low side figures still run into the thousands and are known to include civilian casualties of bombing runs. So, regardless of what you think of Ghadaffi, innocent people got caught in the crossfire and died, as is typical of wars.
There are also reports even in the mainstream media that racially black people have been targeted for reprisals, regardless of whether they, personally, were mercenaries or not. When I heard about that situation I was worried that that too would be the result.
Yet another concern I have regards some of Hilary Clinton's recent threats, if you read between the lines.
