OT: It's a bad year to be a dictator or terrorist

[HuskyNan]

Gaddafi killed

Gruesome picture alert

And, therefore, a good year for almost everyone else.

Great news for Libyans and the Pan Am families.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer person.

And did someone change my handle, putting spaces in it and making ThisJustIn unrecognized by the board?

Hopefully Libya can stabilize and improve the lives of the average person. This country lacks a strong leadership and that could result in power struggles. This is the opposite of Egypt which was always run by the military of which Mubarak was the figurehead. Mubarak's ousting may not bring the results the civilians in Egypt hoped for.

I'm glad the U.S. has sent 100 support troops to help capture Joseph Kony. He isn't Idi Amin, but he is horrific and has impacted a large region with his atrocities.
