1. How many has he got?
Didn't one run for it to South America? (Or am I confusing the various sons of various dictators?)

2. I think he has four or had four. But it's not the one who wants
to be the new dictator when/if Q. resigns.

15. So it was the compound that violated the no fly zone.
That's OK then.

Just can't have these compounds flying all over the country willy-nilly.

5. Too bad...his son and grandchildren would be alive if he'd done the right thing and removed himself
from power. Oh well, he'll have to live with that for the rest of his days. He guess he reaped what he sowed.

8. a house where children were known to have lived should have never been targeted.
Hard to blame Gaddafi for this one.. the blood is on NATO's hands. And, by extension, the US's hands.

13. And who decides who has power on this planet
This is madness - the UN and NATO had no such mandate. This is murder by imperialists. Sorry I cannot and will not support this madness.

6. I am watching twitter feeds.......
many people tweeting that Qaddafi made it all up, aka LIED. Neighbors reportedly said NO family members were at that house.
Who knows? For now, I am not ready to accept it as fact.

This is one we will have to wait to know more.

Thank you for adding this.

Either by us, the UN, Nato or Gaddafi.

11. While it would be good to rid the world of another dictator ...
And while there is no doubt that Qaddafi qualifies as such a thing - It is NOT OK to target his grandchildren, even if to cut down a 'high value target' ....

It may not be a factual account, but it would not be good if true ...

16. if Qadaffi's children are a legitimate war target...

19. I think you're right
I will probably end up leaving D.U. if all this war lust continues.

If these attacks upon a sovereign nation which did not attack the USA or another nation had happened under presidents Bush 41 or 43 nobody at all here would support them.

20. Gaddafi lies
Edited on Sat Apr-30-11 10:49 PM by MedleyMisty
Don't swallow his propaganda. Wait for confirmation.

And of course the American media is very good at reporting propaganda, so they report it as if it's absolute fact. Which I think is part of why so many Americans seem to be getting their news from Libyan state TV - actually it's just that American media passes along whatever's on Libyan state TV without questioning it. Because that's how our media operates - reporting whatever governments say as if it's the absolute truth. Hey, that's easier and requires less energy than investigating anything or talking to multiple sources or anything silly like that.

You should come read the daily Libyan Revolution threads - we have plenty of links to news sources from all over the world. Not a lot of American ones, though. Because American corporate media sucks.
