Gadhafi

As happy as we are at MMM to see the demise of Gadhafi, we are a bit concerned with the images and video. We don't fault the people of Libya as only they know the suffering he brought. However it occurs to us, the world has lost some sense of dignity over the last 50 years. The pictures of a dead human being paraded are disturbing in one sense. Again we are conflicted here today with emotions. As much as we may not like seeing that, we cannot help but think these images must invoke a certain fear in Syria and Yemen and perhaps in Iran. How about the royals in Saudi and leaders in Bahrain. Leaders all over the world who are dictators need to know, their last moments will not be pleasant if they are left in the hands of their people.
