The Mad Dog Is No More!

Moammar Qaddafi is dead.

Reports say the "Mad Dog of the Middle East" tried to flee his hometown of Sirte in an 80-vehicle convoy which was hit by a Nato airstrike. Qaddafi was then found cowering in a stormwater drain (shades of Saddam Hussein’s ‘rat hole’), dragged out and – amid protests of “we want him alive!” – was shot twice.
His death ends a 42yr.dictatorship that turned Libya into an international pariah.
Libya’s Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril:
"We have been waiting for this moment for a long time."
Libya stands on the cusp of a new era, but its turmoil may not be over. The former rebels who now rule are disorganised and face rebuilding a country amid signs of infighting, with divisions between geographical areas and ideologies.
US Vice President Joe Biden says the Libyan people have rid themselves of a dictator and have now "got a chance".
Let’s hope they make the most of this golden opportunity.
