"What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander."

Sounds like you endorse a system of Sharia Law then - eyes for eyes, tit for tat, teeth for teeth, and all without trials.

Or do you reserve the right to unilaterally decide when those principles apply and when they don't?

And if you reserve that right I guess its ok for anyone else right?

Including Gaddaffi ...

... In which case there is no moral or logical basis for criticizing him.


I personally despise his methods, not becaus they were his, but because they are unilateral authoritarian methods - retribution without trial etc.


You stick up for the old regime if you like, I prefer a system of courts etc ...
