| Gadhafi, Muammar 1942 - 2011 |
Today, in less than six months after the world "witness" the demise of Osama Bin Laden, we again celebrate the death of another man guilty of crimes against humanity and injustice against his own people, the sons and daughters of Libya.
Why then, if this man is so universally reviled and despised, do I feel uncomfortable that we are congratulating each other for his passing, his murder?
Why do I feel a tinge of sadness in how the whole Libyan revolution has unfolded?
Is it because I fear that violence begets violence, and the merciless disposal of the deposed despotic dictator will continue the cycle of killing and destruction?
How can millions of people come face to face with the picture of a bloodied corpse of a human being, either in the newspapers or on television, and yet continue tucking in their morning breakfast of cereal with milk and bacon?
