GADHAFI: DEAD OR ALIVE? WON'T EFFECT MY LIFE!

What a way to end the week, huh? Another ruler down! As if you haven't been watching the news, the 42-year reign of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi has finally come to an end, which actually ended with his demise. To be brutally honest, his death really doesn't effect me or my life. Though, I've really wanted to see this happen since I was a kid, today, I could really care less. After looking at some of these pictures though, I have to wonder if he's really even dead. Could it be possible that they staged this whole revolution and capture to make it look like they took the ruler out because they have something big instore for the U.S.? I guess I just don't really trust these U.S.-hating Middle Easterns! Deep down inside, I still feel that Gadhafi and Bin Laden are still alive and are teaming up for a U.S. strike that we wouldn't be expecting because we think that they're dead! I hope that our intel is thorough and that these faces of terror are indeed gone. Also, with Bin Laden and Gadhafi, supposedly, out of the picture, who is the new face of terror, or better yet who is the new enemy of the United States? Could it be North Korea's Kim Jong-il?

For those of you still wondering what happened, a Libyan revolutionary, allegedly, shot and killed the Libyan dictator in Sirte, Libya. The revolutionary, who didn't look much older than 25, apparently shot Gadhafi in the shoulder as the former Libyan dictator attempted to flee from his hiding spot into a drain pipe. Initial reports of Gadhafi's capture also indicated that the former dictator, whole ruled Libya for over 40 years, was injured in the legs and head and died during a gun battle between National Transitional Council fighters and loyalists.



Gadhafi's body was said to be loaded onto a truck and then taken to the nearby city of Misrata. When the vehicle entered the city, a crowd of cheering civilians surrounded it, chanting "The blood of the martyrs will not go in vain!" The video footage of Gadhafi being dragged around by the NTC fighters will absolutely become one of the most memorable images of the Libyan revolution for years to come.

Though, Gadhafi might be dead, the battle of Sirte certainly isn't entirely over! There are still loyalists fighters holed up in the city of Sirte, and the NTC has been searching the entire city for its remaining enemies.

A number of detainees have been taken out of the city in NTC custody with many of them wounded and bloody.

According to authorities, they believe that Gadhafi and other loyalists were captured trying to flee Sirte after weeks of fierce fighting. The NTC command had surrounded the city and the pro-Ghadafi fighters were likely running out of food, water, and medical supplies, forcing them to attempt to escape.

Once Sirte is completely under its control, the National Transitional Council said they will be ready to declare it a victory.

This Libyan revolution began back in February, at the height of the Arab Spring protests. Peaceful demonstrators in Bengazi were shot dead by Libyan security forces on Gadhafi's orders, prompting a nationwide response.

The City of Sirte will be the last city to fall. Loyalist fighters put up a fierce resistance and controlled a small area in the center of the city for weeks.

Though, the end of the Gadhafi reign of terror has come to an end, I, as an American, would still keep people from Libya, Iraq, or Afghanistan at arms length because I still don't trust them! Bin Laden and Gadhafi might be dead, but they had many loyal followers. It's just a matter of time when we see a new "Face of Terror"! We just don't know what he, or she, looks like because they are probably still being groomed to hate America. I do know one thing! It does seem that 2011 will be remembered as the Fall of Terrorism! Or will it?
