The news media outlets are reporting that long-time Libyan dictator, Moammar Gadhafi has defiantly declared that he will die a martyr's death, if necessary, to save his country, but dictators, whether religious or secular oriented, seldom live up to their bravado. Most of them, once they lose power, find themselves shivering with the same kind of fear the people they once brutally oppressed felt moments before their death.
I'm a staunch opponent of the death penalty, even for scum-of-the-earth dictators like Gadhafi, but I have no qualms about stuffing him in a cell with no light and letting him rot. A Martyr's death is too good for the man.
I agree, Steve. Good to see you back. Mike L.
