Where's Gaddafi? Ah there here is!

Ah I've got 1 post before I go off on holiday and it's my first step into the political realm!

Well theres only one story worth talking about now isn't there? Liam Fox must be thanking the Lord that the spotlight is off him, whilst Libyan rebels finally captured and killed Colonel Gaddafi.

Of course there is much debate going on right now on how he died and the UN seem concerned enough by the possibility that he might have be executed that they have demanded a full investigation.

Some would say that it doesn't matter how Gaddafi died as he was by all account a murderous dictator who had no sense of reality (He wasn't called Mad Dog for nothing you know!) Others would say it's never right to murder/anyone whatever there past contains. Both arguments are valid and can easily be asserted but I highly doubt we shall ever see a definitive answer.

Libyans now though have a great chance to create a peaceful democratic country if they put their minds to it. Unfortunately even before Gaddafi their politics was dominated by secrecy, brutality and just a sense of not being nice to anyone. But as Jeremy Bowen said on BBC News if they put there minds to it there's the possibility of a democratic Libya becoming very successful!

A mention must be made for NATO and the UN as well. To be fair to them if it wasn't for them Bengazhi would've fallen and we'd be back to square one. But with hours to spare resolution 1973 was enforced and it saved the revolution perhaps the entire Arab spring. The person who led this with President Sarkozy was David Cameron who now has a first military victory, which is a rare plus point for the coalition at the moment.

Of course there's a long way to go for Libya for it to become to fully running country again, but with Gaddafi now gone who knows? Perhaps they will be able to get onto the UN security council. Pakistan did earlier today so why can't they?

Thanks for reading, I shall blog again when I get back from holiday (probably back to some sports writing!). I'm also thinking of a little series to do on a specific subject or something like that, but I haven't decided yet so I'll keep you posted!

So until next time the Outsider is out! :)
