Our responsibility to Libya
Today another tragedy is in the news - hundreds of Libyans - estimated at upto 700 - have drowned to death when their boat capsized in the Mediterranean sea.
These people were escaping the chaos of Libya trying to get to the stability of Europe. This is not the first such incident, but many Libyans have made the calculation tha the situation in Libya is so dangerous, these risks are worth taking.
The news reports will treat this latest even as a tragedy, but those who read about it won't get a sense of what is happening or our responsibility.
Gaddafi's execution
Gaddafi Dead?
The Guardian is reporting that the ex-Libyan Colonel has been killed in Sirte. Check the link below.
What do you think? The end? The beginning? Or the start of something much worse?

Gaddafi falls
Well, the rebels have entered Tripoli, there seems to be some sense of jubilation in some segments of the capital while others are still held by Gaddafi's forces.
Gaddafi's son Saif al Islam Gaddafi has been captured and this seems like the ned of the civil war and of the Gaddafi regime.
Now the hard work starts of rebuilding the state - NATO has offered its assistance, which Abdul Bari Atwan of Al Quds on BBC News said was just them/us telling the rebels who is actually in charge.
