The public discussion about NATO's possible purpose to kill Muammar Gaddafi led amongst others to sceptic considerations. But mentioning Gaddafi's 'attainments' or doubting the political competences of the Freedom Fighters looks not only a bit like the try of the dictator's existence justification. It's above all a slap in the face of all the tens of thousands victims who fled, died or were injured since Feb 17. The slightest verdict Gaddafi and his cohort could stay in Libya practicing any form of political or social influence becomes unbearable for those who have lost their homes and their family members. It was from the beginning of the uprise a clear demand that Gaddafi has to assign absolutely - without compromises. Questions like 'What comes after the colonel?' may be legitimate but only useful after the achievement of of the basic demand. Nobody can exactly predict the Libyan life after and without the self-claimed leader. But dialogues about the rebuilding of the social, political and economical structures are taking place already, easy to verify by watching the documentations about their ability of self-organization, reading the reports about the connective unity amongst Arabs and Amazigh or just by visiting their websites. Furthermore a lot of Libyans living since decades in exile want to come home. But they can't as long as the main reason for their emigration is still controlling parts of the country.
The independence-seeking Libyans are not a simple bunch of outlaws. Their political wing, the Benghazi based National Transitional Council is acknowledged by a growing number of countries, today Croatia and Bulgaria joined the alliance of the TNC supporters. The 42 years lasting absolutistic reign of an obviously deranged egocentric and demanded war criminal has come to an end. And it's counterproductive to busy oneself with how he will be caught: dead, alive, what consequences have to be worried. The principle concern at the moment is that he will be caught.
