Your point? The U.S. is still a country of laws. People get a fair trial regardless of his or her sanity. If we didn't give people a fair trial, then we wouldn't be a civilized nation.

And these laws are created by humans who are very much prone to mistakes. Trust me, Gadaffi does not deserve the good treatment.

No one deserves to be killed. I really don't believe it. That whole "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" nonsense is very primitive and ridiculous. We've come a long way since then, and it would be nice to see people actually evolve into something a little more civilized when I know they have the capacity to do so.

Nobody is saying that he deserves good treatment. I'm saying he deserves fair judgement.

i agree. but have you read the news that Gadaffi spent 1 million dollars just to have Beyonce perform 2 hours at their family gathering/occasion? Sometimes, giving people fair trial will just give them ways to cover their corruptness and greed. Surely, a civilized nation needs equality and due process, but at this very specific Libya incident, it's not worth it for their leader.

If we bend the rules then we're devolving in terms of our humanity. Also, it's not really up to you to make that call.

This is a clear sign that you have mental problems. You cannot vilify Gadaffi for his actions, and then condone those same action.

Well said.

@ The Virgin

All I hear from you is illogical nonsense that I might expect to hear from Gaddafi himself. At what point should the rule of law be disregarded just to serve your own personal satisfaction? At what point does a person give up human consideration? Perhaps at the point where they stop believing that other people deserve human consideration? Take a look in the mirror before you start spouting off knee jerk reactions and passing them off as legitimate arguements.
