Gadhafi got his, looks like. What's next ?

SIRTE, Libya (AP) — Dragged from hiding in a drainage pipe, a wounded Moammar
Gadhafi raised his hands and begged revolutionary fighters: "Don't kill me, my sons." Within
an hour, he was dead, but not before jubilant Libyans had vented decades of hatred by pulling
the eccentric dictator's hair and parading his bloodied body on the hood of a truck.

The death Thursday of Gadhafi, two months after he was driven from power and into hiding,
decisively buries the nearly 42-year regime that had turned the oil-rich country into an international
pariah and his own personal fiefdom.

It also thrusts Libya into a new age in which its transitional leaders must overcome deep
divisions and rebuild nearly all its institutions from scratch to achieve dreams of democracy.

I have a feeling this isn't going to end well. Hardliners
will jump in and no telling where this is going to end up.
What do ya think..

Even more, the founding fathers if they were avail, might find this much
to their own times in regards to the British many years ago..

Would we as THE PEOPLE have the guts nowadays here in the U.S. to
say enough is enough and start a "rebirth" of this Nation ?

What are you saying, that we are worse off than them? That you wish for a violent revolution? Come on.

Heh. Id be real careful with statements like this: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_1...ag=pop;stories

Sure...he's gone. But we all know how badly a change can be after the big "event"

we need a laugh around here sometimes. I don't know about the lawsuit, but I just saw an interview of a few families that were hopeful that "dying cancer patient" might be returned to prison with this change.

I smiled with Stewart's point on Bolton. he was right on...

[smoked trout]

I'm glad he's gone.

Now what's happened to his gold stash, and all his weapons?

And what comes next?

And yeah, I enjoyed the Stewart clip.

it's those missiles I worry about. The cost per commercial jet is around a million for counter measures.

As we speak of what's next, so is
What's next for NATO in Libya?



And on the Arab Spring front...
Syrian, Yemen opposition buoyed by Gadhafi death

[madhatter256]

What's next?

Hopefully a country with a government that is not a puppet from outside influences...

[jimzinsocal]

Sort of a sobering point of view...see the comment: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner...rew-c-mccarthy

I predict it will turn out to be the crud hole its been for years and end up in tribal civil war at best where they only kill each other or the brotherhood will take charge and it will become a place for terrorists my 2 cents

[Enmore]

Maybe. On the other hand they have a small population (6.6 million), lots of hi-grade oil and their infrastructure is largely undamaged. The place should have been ultra modern like Kuwait or Dubai if Gadaffi's vile regime hadn't stolen it for themselves. If they can get their act together then the future can be rosie for all Libyans.

[jimzinsocal]

^^Id like to hope so..but you know? How long until some tribal problem arises. Thats always the sticking point when these (backward) cultures end up being ruled by winning tribe or religious group that trumps all. I dont think these folks are ready to accept the concept of "we all win when we cooperate"
