"Kadafi killed against a backdrop of NATO support"

       This article was written by Henry Chu and David S. Cloud. It was also founded in Los Angeles Times. Today, marked the death of Moammar Kadafi. He died by NATO's aerial assault on Libya. It was said that the bombing were done by a U.N. mandate to protect its civilians. It is said that this operation has been going on for seven months, and on some occasions they have been close to killing him. Finally, he was brought down by a French jet pilot and an American Predator drone aimed at his convey in Surt. NATO officials said that they were not aiming for him, they just saw a large convoy that was leading and unexpected path. Kadafi survived the attack, but was captured by rebels who surely shot him to his death in minutes or even seconds. Now that he is dead, NATO forces will leave Libya within days.
       I think that Kadafi deserved this harsh treatment. During his reign, he did nothing to better the lives of his people. All he did was kill innocent civilians. If i were a rebel, I would have done the same. After months and years on trying to get rid of him, they finally achieved it. I do not think killing people is a correct thing to do but after this event Libya will slowly start to move towards the better. I also think that the rebels will finally stop their fights and everything will go back to normal. The sad thing is that no operation ever gets done without the help of U.S.
