Gaddaffi was a monster and I shed no tears for him.

But the point about monsters is that they contrast from the rest of us non-monsters.

If we wish to hold our heads up we should act in a non-monstrous way.

That means we, unlike him, don't do or condone arbitrary executions.

We think due process is how it should be.

So Gaddaffi's dead - boo f****** hoo.

But who's replacing him? more monsters? Or democracy and democratic institutions?

Not an encouraging start to the new regime in my view ... !!
