A dictator is a dictator is a dictator; whether he is Muslim, Christian, any other flavour of religion or even atheist; whether supported by the USA, Russia or even boot-licked by my own country.

I am saddened by what is happening in another neighbouring country - Libya - but I am not sad to see Mr Gaddafi go. All the more now that the people who live in that land are making it clear that they have had enough of him, his jet-setting family and entourage.
