The fall of a tyrant is once again filling our TV screens; this time in savage reality as Moamar Gaddafi is dragged from a drain, pummeled, man-handled, and his half-naked, bloodied body delivered up to his captors. Shortly thereafter he is shot dead. Humiliation and brutal, unexpected death. Retributive justice ? execution ? But no mercy. Having lived by the sword he died by the sword, like Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden before him.
No mercy for these tyrants the last of whom died this week, at a time when we commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Siev X disaster. There was no mercy for the hundreds of men, women and children who perished on Siev X in the sea ten years ago, either.
And no justice yet for these innocent victims.
