[Mac Sirloin]

How is it distressing? He was a power-humping gorilla, throwing his army here and there and making life miserable in a way that you and I, in our comfy Western abodes, will probably never know for countless innocent people. I can absolutely agree that if, at the inevitable end of my inevitable regime, the walls closing in, the rebels at my hidey hole and a gun at my throat, I thought the only way I could get mercy would be to try to appeal to the same law I've been disobeying hither a thither for 40+ years of iron-fisting rule.

Also, you have to remember that these were rebels. This wasn't SEAL Team 6 attacking the block from their invincible deathchopper, these are passionate, freedom-seeking people. I make no assumptions on where Libya is going from here, but I can definitely salute the rebel-administered death of Gaddafi as a step in the right direction.
