Editor,
ANOTHER peoples' power uprising and another tyrant takes off with his tail between his legs. This time it's "mophead" Muammar Gaddafi. He has ruled Libya as an absolute dictator for over 4 decades after taking control of the country through a military coup. Like other dictators throughout human history Gaddafi thought he would rule forever. He was mistaken. A dictator's day is always numbered.
Some fail to realise this right to the end. Gaddafi's Phd wallah son Saif al-Islam is a good example of this failure. He "vows to continue the resistance" (yahoo news 1/9). There is only one reason for it: the man's trying desperately to save his bacon. But it's too late. The Gaddafis failed to read the writing on the wall.
Next stop for them is the International Criminal Court - if they are lucky!
yours sincerely,
Rajend Naidu
