Did we just shift from political disagreement to personal animus?
I feel about Gadaffi as I did about many other bad actors around the world. The most positive thing he ever did for the human race was to die. The operating calculus, however, is not particularly complex: When bad people are replaced by worse people,this is not an improvement. Especially when it’s an evil individual replaced by an evil system.
