The Fall of Gaddafi.

Once again the West has done it  to an African leader who they see as a threat to their interests. The former Libyan leader Moamar Gaddafi was the target of the West ever since the Lockerbie bombing in the 1980s. H e was slowly coerced to hand over two of his secret service agents who were alleged to have planted the bomb on the Pan Nam Airliner. This killed about 200 people with most of them being Americans and Europeans. This accusation was vehemently denied by the two agents who always pleaded their innocence in the bombing. These two men were tried by the Scottish Court and after the trial one of the agents Abdel Basit El Megrahi was imprisoned by the Scottish Government, but was later released on medical grounds as he was deemed to die in about three months time. He was given a heroes welcome when he landed in Tripoli. Gaddafi should have known that this was one of the tactics of the West to get him. He took the bait and now he is a fugitive on the run. He should have known that that gesture by the West was a Trojan Horse. The fall of Gaddafi was carefully planned by the Western powers who wanted to get him out at all cost. When the protests in Benghazi started, Gaddafi should have quietly left the scene, but he stood his ground. NATO then imposed a "No Fly Zone" over Libya  under the guise of protecting innocent civilians from being attacked by Gaddafi's troops. This was just the beginning of the end for the Libyan leader. NATO had its own plans and they were bent on carrying it out to the letter, this had the blessing of the United Nations. Now, the whereabouts of Gaddafi remains unknown. The West used to fly plane of rendition to Libya as the American, British  and the Canadian inteligent  services ties with Gaddafi have been revealed. These same countries have now collaborated to get rid of him with an overwhelming support for the rebels. The fall of Gaddafi has surely come to pass but not until he is captured as he keeps on making statements about his determination to fight till death. He should just accept the status quo and allow peace to prevail in Libya.
