Libya: Benghazi unrest, to Civil War, to a new government and Gaddafi's death.

Can't wait for JJ to post in this thread!

Also the Obama-haters who opposed NATO intervention are looking pretty silly now.

I have absolutely no problem with Gaddafi being murdered by a mob of angry rebels. If anything there's something cosmically pleasing about it, much like when Ceausescu was executed, as Al brings up. Brutal, lawless dictators should die brutally and lawlessly at the hands of their own people.

FDR committed crimes against humanity against his own people?

Anyway, we all know the Japanese are more civilized than Americans, but not for anything to do with this situation.

Gaddafi wasn't even the leader of Libya anymore at the time of his death. If a member of the NTC were to die, then it would be appropriate to offer condolences.

So, just like every other country that's predominantly Muslim? okay, sounds fine.

Are you totally ignorant or are you just being a hack on purpose?

Or perhaps Turkey, Albania, Senegal, Mali, Niger, Chad, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan are not countries?

A little of column A, a little of column B.

The fight against theocratic rule is really only important for enlightened, Christian countries. The barbarians can't be expected to understand such things. 

So there are some exceptions, but the vast majority of Muslims live in countries with legal systems based to some degree on Islamic law

Regarding Gustaf's dumb strawman, one could also facetiously argue that systems of law should only be developed by enlightened, Christian peoples. The barbarians can't be trusted with the responsibility of writing their own legal codes. But one won't.

Come on Gustaf, I know you're not really a fan of Muslims, but let's not be a Sharia-fear-monger like some ignorant Oklahoman.
