I lament nothing but the manner that he was murdered was cruel and foul. Gaddaffi was no hero, but Libya did have the highest standard of living in Africa and the terrorist stuff he admitted to sponsoring (as a price for reconciling with the West) was in fact carried out by the Syrians. The religious nuts who hated Gaddaffi are stooges of the Western intelligence services.

You are dead right about Gaddaffi being useful. The anti-Western antics of Gaddaffi (like Mugabe etc) never got in the way of essential business. It is political theatre.

I agree the cheering on of his undignified execution by Hillary and Obama and their ilk was sick. So much for human rights. What disgusting hypocrites they are.

I am comfortable with their hypocrisy, it is their lack of empathy that is chilling. We are ruled by sociopaths. There is no limit to the cruelty that people like Hilary and Obama will tolerate and there is no point believing that they feel any differently towards any of us.

The world at large is ruled by psychopaths, no exceptions.

The manner of his death could be one big reason why Putin is doing what he is doing - he does not want to end up like that.

His actions assure he will. For someone who is so smart, he's not so smart. The American Christian Fascists he has helped enable will turn on him in a heart beat and ram a bayonet so far up his ass it exits his mouth. That, or they will nuke Russia MAD be damned.

Phillip, see my answer to SBN if you think that nationalizing the oil and demonstrating what can be done with a Central Bank not tied to the BIS and a currency not held in the French Treasury never got in the way of essential business. He almost torpedoed the petrodollar a decade earlier than Putin is. The "Axis of Evil" corresponds exactly to the small handful of countries whose central banks aren't tied to the BIS and IMF. Owning the oil is chump change. The big game hunters go for the currency in which oil can be bought.
