« Kuntar Says Kidnap More Israelis | Main | Arabs Don't Pony Up » Kill or Try Ghadaffi
By Micah Halpern
Sunday October 23, 2011 I've Been Thinking: Ghadaffi is dead - killed, after he surrendered. The rules of war as well as the rules of Islam require that the Libyan thug him be taken prisoner. But that is not what happened. He was killed - murdered in cold blood. Was this the best outcome? Any established democracy would respond by saying bring the tyrant to trial - but Libya was not and still is not a democracy. Had Ghadaffi been brought to trial his trial could have been an educational tool and a historical catharsis for a country that suffered under a brutal tyrant. A public trial would have inscribed the many atrocities perpetrated by Muammar Ghadaffi on the public record. But these Libyans were not interested in history. These Libyans were out for revenge. And that is just what they got. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. To reprint my essays contact sales (at) www.featurewell.com 4 June 2017 12:13 PM in Thoughts
