Should one place our high western legal expectations on a rag-tag group of people who were cobbled together to fight a cruel dictator, one who has stymied any opportunity for citizens to learn about law, fairness and governance for over forty years? You reap what you sow, Dictator Ghadaffi!


Was there actually a fair legal trial opportunity for Osama bin Laden, and Saddam Hussein? Was Bin Ladden not executed? Was the Hussein trial not seen as a "kangaroo court" by most credible international bodies?

I suspect few, if any, actually believe Osama bin Laden, Saddam Hussein and Moammar Ghadaffi were innocent of charges. I cannot believe that a "fair" trial (by western standards) would lead to a different result.

With revolution, you sometimes just have to hold your nose and hope for a good future.
