The editor of the Polish «Gazeta Wyborcza» Adam Michnik says about the fate of Gaddafi and other despots who are still in power.
Indecent glad someone's death, even if it was a tyrant, guilty of the suffering of thousands of people. So the death of Muammar Qaddafi for me - it's not a reason for joy, and an occasion to reflect on the essence of the world in which we live and we, and dictators.
Qaddafi seemed eternal. He is blackmailed and humiliated the whole world. With a firm hand, he terrorized the Libyan despot, and was able to negotiate at the same time ( after years of staying in a state of conflict ) with the world of Western democracy and not just put on their knees guide European countries.
In his long career he had been a conspirator, a green initiative of the Islamic Revolution, from which he retired. Dictators, he was always. He believed in violence and lies, and believed that it is enough. and calculate. His subjects in the end decided it was time to say enough is enough!.
And that was the end of Gaddafi. He defended himself for a long time, because his side was the army, as it is now at the Syrian dictator. And he would have defended himself further if it were not for the military operation in France and England, supported by other countries. Democratic states at this time sided with the oppressed, speaking out against the despot. It was a signal to the peoples under the yoke of tyranny: the dictatorship will not go unpunished, the dictators are not immortal.
They are, however, remain an integral part of our era, but their fall - is also an essential fact of. The fall of dictatorships is accomplished through negotiations and democratic reforms, but also - through violence and bloody revenge.
Dictators should be good to learn a lesson Arab spring. Some, for example, the regime in Myanmar, began gently rotated in the direction of the democratic opposition, a similar process occurs in Morocco. In other places, at least in Belarus, Lukashenko is in power, dictators continue to believe in their impunity and immortality. On the way turned Lukashenko and Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.
They are wrong, as wrong Gaddafi. Should they wish to have finished it better than their counterpart, the Libyan. We wish it well themselves. Violence begets violence, hatred breeds hatred, and vengeance breeds vengeance.
I do not believe in a world without hate: we're no angels. But I believe that each has its own end of the Dictatorship. And this moment, when the defenders of freedom can feel satisfied.
Paradoxically, even the endless killer in the last moments of his life appeal to the law.
' Haram! ' . ' Illegal! '.
His wife calls from the UN investigation into the death of her husband. His daughter, Aisha last summer has filed lawsuits in European courts, which accused NATO of killing his brother and nephews (now the suits are likely to be supplemented ). How quickly recalled, and about the law, and about the court, and about justice and mercy of.
When Gadhafi blew up planes with peaceful people, it should be understood, did much of the humanity. When he adopted the policy of ' persecution and physical elimination of stray dogs ' - Libyans emigrants who fled from the prison of happiness in the free world, he believed that this is true. When he hung up on the areas of student protesters, when I gave the order to shoot their own people, he did it out of mercy. And when he saw a black eye ' Kalashnikov ', then shouted: ' Haram! ' .
Allah immediately thought, belief, Sharia law.
Although at this point is worth remembering their sins. Well, the shed blood of the infidels. Let's not sorry. But the secret is covered, even the fate of Shiite Imam Musa Sadr. In 1978, Gaddafi has decided to revive his idea of uniting the Arab world and invited me to negotiate a respected Lebanese Imam peacemaker. Ever since then so nothing is known about the fate of any of the former spiritual leader of Lebanese Shiites, or the fate of his companions. Sadr 's family and is now looking for him in Libyan prisons, although the former representative of Libya in the League of Arab States, said the Musa Sadr was assassinated on the orders of al-Gaddafi.
It was not ' haram '?.
When Gaddafi was podpekat ass, he was indignant that the Arabs do not help him, and the whole world was surprised that the Arab League initiated a UN decision to close the airspace over Libya, with which, in fact, started the operation to remove Qaddafi. He was indignant, outraged his MFA. Maybe forget that Sadr was related to the leaders of many Islamic countries, including the Ayatollah Khomeini? .
American Ronald Reagan in 1986 called Gaddafi ' mad dog '. But in the Arab world, he also had a nickname. ' Majnun '. madman.
Allah did not instruct him to leave on time.
Allah gave him the happiness to die earlier than had to hide from the people in the sewer.
Allah gave him the strength to make another sin and self to put a bullet in the forehead.
God did not spare his.
And today, this half-naked corpse of an old man on display in the refrigerator of a supermarket. Of course, this wildness. But it returned to him all the evil that he did. As I explained to connoisseurs of the Quran, in this holy book, as in the Bible, there is a Sura, which states: ' Everyone will be rewarded according to his. '.
