[cathfromsaron]

i think that he had the opportunity to go into exile and blew is own chances of survival.

well according to some on here, he deserved everything he got, and perhaps they are right. I would rather he had gone into exile, but then again where to?

[RATTER15]

Job done!

[jake-the-peg]

Probably the same place as justice for the famillies of all those at that iraqi restaurant the Americans hit with a cruise missile because they thought Saddam Hussein was there - he wasn't?

Or are you only interested in justice for Westerners?

[cathfromsaron]

i'm definitely interested in the justice process applying to all, if we are as civilised as we think we are ...

[jake-the-peg]

And you get that information from who exactly?

Oh yes his mortal enemies!

I'm not saying it isn't true but you really should think about where information comes from and whether or not it's reliable

He was never going to go into exile.
Who'd have him?
A pity he was killed though.

I thought there was only one place for Gaddafi to go into exile. The very place that all Libyan exiles come. And Russian exiles. The list goes on. London.

[ichkeria]

Gaddafi comes to London as an exile...
Er, that would work :-)

[nicelander]

Think you would be surprised exactly who lives in exile in the United Kingdom and London especially. Lots of skeletons in cupboards.

I think that it was a foregone conclusion that Gaddafi would hide out in Libya. He was never going to be classed with all the Middle Eastern persona non gratas who spend half their lives in London. Not in a million years.

[237SJ]

He was never going to have a residence in London

[penelope2]

The article said he was captured AND killed, the facts seem to indicate he was captured THEN killed. No problem to me but don't lets to carried away by the spiel from Cameron et al about a new democracy.

[ichkeria]

Of course there are lots of exiles in London - most if not all, especially the Libyan ones, were driven away by Gaddafi himself.
We've welcomed political exiles for centuries. I'm rather proud of that, even if some of them (like Lenin and Stalin!) don't turn out too well.

[nicelander]

Lockerbie? I think it would be more beneficial to ask the Americans about that one. After all US agents were first on the scene on the night. Doesn t that strike anyone as strange?

[237SJ]

No. Absolutely not (since you ask)

Sorry. My answer was directed to nicelander
