U.N. GADHAFI INVESTIGATION.

Muammar Gadhafi's death was by mob execution, as the deposed dictator had all types of enemies, and any way that he should go could be done by any of the fighters armed with guns, knives and other weapons, who could end his life on the spur of the moment.

The situation in which he was caught was one of warring and violence. All were mad as hell, including those who were protecting him, just as much as his captors. It was nothing short of pure bedlam; as the confusion among the people at that juncture was so overwhelming.

He could have been torn to pieces, but so much unscientific evidence, such as his facial features, could have been lost in the videos that were being taken. Also, the scene could undoubtedly be more gruesome, and more horrifying than what the videos were able to record.

It was, at the same time, a terrifying atmosphere, just as it was so surreal, to see the once strongman and dictator being mishandled to the point of being taken apart in little pieces. It was a mixture of surprise and anger by those guarding him, and wanted to free him and to let him go, on one hand; and by those who have sought him for many months, while he was in hiding, on the other hand. A whole lot of tug-of-war went on there.

Some wanted him alive to face the many crimes that he has been alleged to have committed, some against his political enemies, and some against his involvement in the Lockerbie bombing; the downing of Pan Am Flight 103, in 1988, in Southern Scotland.

The ICC (International Criminal Court) was looking to slap him with charges of crimes against humanity, while the fighters in the uprising against him, the NTC (National Transitional Council), which was in the process of forming a new Libya government wanted to put him on trial for crimes against Libya itself, and the Libyan people.

Gadhafi was a ruthless tyrant, who showed no mercy to anyone that crossed him; not even Libyan citizens that he professed to love and cherish.

What to do with this man was the question that none of the crowd surrounding him could have any answer for; whether to let him stay alive or to kill him instantly. Some were even seemed to be bathing in his blood, which could be a sign of love in Islamic culture, or to mark the fact that they participated in Gadhafi's capture and final demise.

Now, the U.N. calls for Gadhafi's death investigation seems to be a hyperbole, in the sense that, everyone near the scene will be a witness, and they will all have their own personal stories to tell; and their number can be as many as 50 or 60 men, particularly, and some women, one or two of them, to give individual accounts.

Something can, and will, come out of such an investigation; but how well will the questions be answered by these eyewitnesses, can be anybody's guess.

There were both Gadhafi supporters, as well as the rebel or revolutionary fighters that were struggling for his person; it was a "for" and "against" scenario, froth in excessive uproar and commotion overshadowing any presence of mind.

Under such circumstances, people had the inkling to listen to everything and everyone all at once; and that their reactions could not be coordinated. They were still in a war situation, and the commanders on the spot, on both sides, had differing ideas as to what to do exactly.

However, after gathering the information the U.N. was demanding, what would be the consequence? Where would the credibility of the participants come from? Would it come from Gadhafi's men or would it come from those who were trying to seize him for the NTC?

Besides compiling a documentary dossier for the investigation, would it be made public; and also, how would the individuals questioned be handled? Would they be charged with any offence they might have committed; and if so, how and why?

There would be no outpouring of sympathy for Gadhafi; no, not by his captors; but also plenty of empathy from his supporters, who were present at the scene, and who would be very few at any point during the investigation, because they would be outnumbered by the Libyan revolutionaries.

The questions surrounding Gadhafi's death would be too numerous; but only a small portion of it could be answered satisfactorily; and the final analysis would be that, was he shot with a gun, and if so, by whom?

If ten people stood up and said, "I did it.", just to get their names the history books, how could the investigators know who actually pulled the trigger or who was telling the truth; or could all of them be accepted as "the killer" of the dead despot?

The U.N. has been known to waste money and time on trivial things; however, this particular instance was not a small matter, as the death of a notorious tyrant; yet, what would it profit the U.N., with the result of such an investigation? Many people would like to know.

It would seem that Gadhafi was dead, and the only resultant admission would be that, he was killed by a crazy and angry mob, execution style; and it occurred in a war zone.

It would be wise to accept an NTC report, as there would surely be one; and so, let sleeping dogs lie.
