All executions should be banned, including those by predator missiles.

However, I certainly do not mourn Gadhafi and I can fully understand how some 18-year old could in the heat of battle execute him. But my preference would have been for an international trial and incarceration for the rest of his unnatural life.

People should not be so hasty to condemn a whole society for the actions of a few in a vicious civil war. I still hope that Libya's government does a better job of seeking reconciliation, as did South Africa. Someone needs to learn a lesson from our abysmal experience in Iraq. "When will we ever learn!"
