I'm still trying to figure out how the death of an armed despot at the hands of his own people, a mand who was responsible for hundreds if not thousands of deaths over the years, all in the name of maintaining his power,in the midst of a civil war is an attrocity...
When you realize that he was captured alive , was dragged , and beaten , shot a few times while begging for his life by a pack of salivating killers , you might realize the INHUMANITY of it.
It is up to the COURTS to decide what he was guilty of. NOT you ( who obviously bought into ;the Media accusations) or anyone else . It is up to the COURTS to provide FACTUAL evidence of his crimes ( as it is for any other suspect/ accused ) and not what the propganda machine has portrayed.
No one is supporting him or his actions. But it is IMPERATIVE that we of the so called civilized part of the world maintain the rule of the law or we too will regress to his level of babarism. How he was captured , shot in cold blood ( premediated MURDER of the worst kind).......is a throwback into the dark ages.
BUT.........in thinking about this............one can almost see why it happened that way. AFTER ALL A PRECIDENT WAS ESTABLISHED BY the AMERICANS when they executed an old, sick man (OBL ) in front of his kids and family ......when they too could have easily taken him alive and showed the worlds a sense of decency even to the worst of criminals. THAT IS how civilized people behave. They follow the rule of the law ........NO MATTER WHO THE ACCUSED IS
and please don't go into the cost of the trial..........as that is pure bunk. A trial for both men would have been a profound learning experience for the entire world.....about what takes place in the dark rooms of politics.
Heck........they could have televised it just as they did the Anthony case.....and now the Conrad Murray case. What better way to "punish " a prideful , insolent , arrogant dictator and terrorist then to HUMIILIATE him in front of television cameras for the world to see.
And yes.......show the evidence of their crimes. Have witnesses come forth with personal experiences that resulted from their crimes.
and for the record" TERRORISM is a CRIME........is it not a statement of war.........AS if it was one could consider the many mass shootings in the US a "statement of war" , when they are terrorism at its worst. But that is another topic ...
Heck.......the blood thirsty revenge fueled contingency could have made sure to have their executions televised as well. That would be the ULTIMATE in humiliation.
Killing someone provides an easy way out. Once dead....they cannot feel humiliated .......particularly when Pride and arrogance are such a big part of these criminals. That is what made them delusional ....power does that to people. Xtreme power is even worse.
