Libya - Gaddafi views himself as a martyr

Sign in to disble this ad
In my opinion the only way to test this theory is for him to step out into the streets and let the crowd tear him apart. IMO, someone who orders his own people shot and killed is a murderer, not a martyr.

I'm rooting for Libyans even more than they Egyptians. But it looks like Gaddafi has resorted to shooting his own people. This is getting ugly.

It's like 1650AD in those countries. Most of them don't even have the simple mechanics to even make a house fan. It's called suppression/oppression and really not a subject for Talkbass OT.

That was my first thought: If he doesn't watch his step, he'll be martyred all right. Although there's probably enough Libyans who won't care, so he would simply be a homocide victim.

I hate that bastage. I hope that he does get torn to pieces.

Bahrain, Libya, Yemen.... people are rising up and demanding a better life - I sincerely hope they get it, and may it be free of despots and religious nutjobs.

Without being all religious or political....something about reaping what you sow jumps to mind. If you cultivate an environment where hate, intolerance and violence are condoned, keeping all that pointed in the direction that is beneficial to YOU...is a little tricky.

Well, it gets even more twisted...
apparently there are now reports and videos of military folks who were burned alive for refusing to murder civilians. I haven't seen further details yet but it sure as hell wouldn't surprise me.
This is the same whackjob that was planning on executing a group of Bulgarian doctors for "deliberately spreading AIDS in Libya for research purposes", he's nuts.

Gaddafi's remaining days in office may be very few, I hope. Some of the country's diplomats have turned on him, calling him a war criminal.

I was just stating that even though it is a very interesting point of time in that part of the world, it's all political. That's all.
