If it be true, so the devil we KNOW is dead, now we just have to deal with those devils we DON'T know.
Cause that worked out so well for us in the past, LOL !
Time will tell I suppose...maybe.
That was my first thought when this whole thing began. It seems like the West never learns. Many Americans seem to believe that these countries will (or should) be transformed into a mini-U.S. That will never happen. I'm not saying that's good or bad in and of itself, only that these are completely different cultures from the West. Yet they keep supporting these overthrows of dictators that aren't really an immediate threat to the West. Then we're always surprised when hostile groups take over.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
Therefore history is insane. :)
Doc Brown is avenged after all this time.
So, that's a side bonus to his fall.
i thought the rebels were trying to take the high road here? shouldve taken him alive... i dunno all the details but i would bet a stack that they desecrated(sp?) his remains somehow. some modern day arab version of the mule drag thru the town square. i would have rather seen him go the route saddam went. killed legally.
I'm not surprised. And I also don't think the U.S. is necessarily any more righteous than any other country. That's why I stated that other countries' inability to become mini-Americas isn't good or bad in itself, but that they're just different, and you can't expect the U.S.'s values to translate the way many here think they should into another culture.
And I do expect that the new rulers will probably be anti-U.S. if they aren't already. They'll gladly accept the U.S.'s help, but once in power they usually show their true feelings on that. What really annoys me is that, with all the economic problems at home, the U.S. spent heaping amounts on military aid to Libya, when they should have let them handle their own problems. Maybe I'm uninformed here, but that's how I feel.
rest in peace, great king.
i really dont think oj simpson did it.
