    Re: Libya

    I'm gobsmacked at the speed with which the Gaddafi forces in Tripoli have collapsed. I never bought into the "stalemate" meme people were spreading a couple of months back, but I thought it'd take a lot longer than it has.

    I assume Gaddafi's still at his compound, hence the heavy fighting around there - it'd be pretty silly for the Gaddafi forces there to fight otherwise, they've been surrendering in droves everywhere else...

    No one seemed bothered by Osama's death or Saddam's

    Kind of mildly bothered. But not overly so. He was, after all, an enemy combatant during a time of war.

    And he had every opportunity to surrender, he was literally too insane to realise the game was up.

    I'd have preferred a trial, but I can't say I'm not glad he's gone.

    Nah, it's died down. There'll be an investigation for form's sake, but that's about it.
