Gaddafi death: Envoy slams 'sadistic' triumphalism

Russia’s NATO envoy has written in his microblog that the Western elation over the death of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi could have sadistic grounds.

­“The faces of the leaders of ‘world democracies’ are so happy, as if they remembered how they hanged stray cats in basements in their childhoods,” Russian envoy to NATO and the leader of the Congress of Russian Communities, Dmitry Rogozin, wrote in his twitter status on Friday.

This statement apparently is a reply to the international reaction to the death of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, who was killed as the forces of the National Transitional Council stormed the town of Sirte on Thursday.

Rogozin currently holds the position of Russia’s envoy to NATO and he was among the first Russian politicians to embrace the opportunities of social networks. He often shares his views on international politics via his Twitter account, and these posts have repeatedly made news in Russian and international media.

Rogozin is also the leader of the Congress of Russian Communities – the organization of ethnic Russians living abroad aimed at protecting their interests and strengthening the ties with the Motherland.

On Thursday evening Rogozin told Russian radio Echo of Moscow that NATO was directly involved in the operation to kill the former Libyan leader. “Apparently there were orders that oriented the military servicemen who are in Libya and that directed them to ensure the physical elimination of Gaddafi,” Rogozin said.

The official added that Russia must make a conclusion from the existing situation. “We must bear in mind who we are dealing with in the face of Western democracies,” Rogozin said.

Gadaffi's Libya was not a dictatorship, nor were the people living under Tyrannical oppression.  Quite the contrary.  Gadaffi produced great reforms, and incredible...truly extraordinary improvements in the standard of living of the Libyan people.
Women probably gained the most in the Gadaffi era, and stand to lose the most under the new arrangement...

His liberalism was a threat to Islamic fundamentalist regimes in the region, which are true dictatorships, such as Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Qatar, and the rest.


this is why Libya enjoyed position number 53 on the UN Human development index, why Gaddhafi took the country from 10% to almost 90% literacy, built the Great Man Made River (which NATO have destroyed - a WAR CRIME) and why Libyans enjoyed free healthcare and education.

the Jamahiriya was also instrumental in helping other African countries, without burdening them with debt. Libya provided $300 million of the $400 million needed for Africa to raise its first communications satellite.

Muammar Gaddhafi was a man of great insight, and his people are going to miss him.

I studied the Libyan Jamahiriya in University in great detail, and from my investigation, I saw very little in the way of human rights abuses.  What I did see was a gross mischaracterization of the Green Revolution, Muammar Gadaffi, and Libyan society in general by the western media.
Gadaffi and his government were under constant attack by LIFG, and other Islamic terrorist groups during the duration of the Gadaffi era.  The Libyan government responded to these threats in a reasonable manner, consistent with maintaining law and order and the security of the state, which is part of the social contract with the people.
Gadaffi's Libya was not a dictatorship, nor were the people living under Tyrannical oppression.  Quite the contrary.  Gadaffi produced great reforms, and incredible...truly extraordinary improvements in the standard of living of the Libyan people.

The misinformation campaign against the Green Revolution has been persistent, and highly effective. 99% of American's truly believe that Gadaffi was a violent, bloodthirsty tyrant.  In reality he behaved quite well, and Libyan's enjoyed a broad spectrum of civil rights unavailable to most other people in the middle east.
His liberalism was a threat to Islamic fundamentalist regimes in the region, which are true dictatorships, such as Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Qatar, and the rest.

american and british are "sadistic to the core" is in their blood, they can't help it, look at how american linches people regularly, even when they have absolutelly no proof of any wrong doing
americans need to stay at home and stop mingling and telling others how to live their lifes
they need to understand that nobody has invited them and is bad manners to arrive at a party uninvited
