Gadhafi’s Death Sounded an Alarm to the World

Gadhafi died, either in the fugitive crowd in his hometown Sirte, or in a cave, even crying “don’t shoot” before he died; or he died on the way to the hospital. According to the news released by Libyan authorities, he died of a mortal wound after being arrested. However, few people in the world know how he died. Perhaps this is the fate of the defeated, how he died is also useful for the enemies.

No matter what, Gadhafi is dead without doubt.

Gadhafi’s death is too horrible to look at, and his body was dragged on the street by opposition fighters, which seems like humiliation to the body. After all, how exactly did Gadhafi die? Did he die of a mortal wound or was he beaten to death deliberately? It’s hard to discover the truth. However, America’s Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, happened to visit Libya that day, which people can’t help but doubt that she planned to watch the inescapable death of Gadhafi. The situation resembles Obama watching bin Laden’s death. In other words, Gadhafi’s death is Libya’s present to Clinton or the U.S.

When America started the war with Libya, it was a turtle retracting its head because of Gadhafi and Libya’s domestic pressure. Since Gadhafi secretly hid the picture of Condoleezza Rice visiting Libya, France and the UK played the primary roles. As the war escalated, NATO countries wanted to get out of the situation. However, Obama, the African American Nobel Peace Prize winner, expressed that Gadhafi had to get down, and even dispatched warships to Africa, but all those were just a show. In other words, the U.S. is not a pragmatist when it comes to fighting a war, but it surely is interested in dividing the interest.

This illustrates a saying that where there is interest, there is America, and where there is trouble, there is America. This is a “universal truth” that is not subjected to the will of the world’s citizens.

We can imagine that without NATO’s bombing, arms support and personnel, Libya’s opposition faction would not have been succeeded. This war is more like NATO against Libya than a Libyan civil war, and it has ended with a NATO victory than a victory for the Libyan opposition.

We all know that NATO abused the right authorized by the UN, from setting up a “No Fly” zone to bombing Libya, without any restriction. This indicated that the UN’s function was manipulated. A small country’s hope to solve problems through the UN is only a one-sided wish. That a weak country has no diplomacy is an irrefutable truth.

Gadhafi’s arrest makes people think of Saddam Hussein’s arrest. One died on the street with blood all over his body, unconsciously dragged by soldiers; the other was unkempt and pressed on the ground by soldiers in a basement.

We also think about Hosni Mubarak, who was in power for over 30 years, lying on a bed in a cage while on trial, the judge a trusted aide appointed by him.

In the past, they were respected by millions, they were called heroes and even gods. At present, people discover that they are also people, weak people, one hiding himself from place to place, another against the people of his own country.

When a person, an emperor, a group, loses the shelter of right, the shelter of a country, he is nothing. A king finally turned out to be a weak one being trampled upon, a lonely one being betrayed by relatives and friends. This, in summary, is the loss of a person’s shelter.

At present, not only Middle Eastern countries like Libya, Egypt, Syria and Yemen, but also Western countries like the U.S., the UK, Australia and Greece are all involved in the revolution. Until today, the world’s “Number 1”, America, is still suffering the heated Occupy Wall Street movement. The world is reshuffling, these revolutions were a result of various reasons; no matter how complicated those situations were, they had one common feature, which is that people’s right and interests had not been secured and respected.

At this very moment, some countries are still preparing for wars. America is still eyeing Iran and Syria, the next war is approaching. The war may take a different form, but the fate of the defeated is the same; besides leaders stepping down and humiliation, the country’s interest will be divided. Any country can only carefully prepare for a war in order to stop the war. In the jungle rule of the world, peace is just temporary, war is forever; one is in danger if he forgets wars.

Gadhafi is the first leader to die in this worldwide movement; his death was bloody and horrible. However, his death is also an alarm to remind the world’s political leaders that the people come first.
