The Death of Qaddafi

Several days ago the news of the death of Qaddafi is released.Qaddafi was definitely one of the most erratic and stubborn leaders in the world. His ridiculous dressing style and messed-up speech has made him a international joke. During his years, Libya didn't even have a feasible government system. “This is my country!” he roared as he shook his fist and pounded the lectern. Even though with such guilt to his country,“Muammar is not a president to quit his post. Muammar is the leader of the revolution until the end of time!”(New York Times) Qaddafi was extremely stubborn to his position. For several time he refused to exile abroad, which directly caused his death. It takes very long time for a person to climb up to the stage of claiming himself as a "god"; but sometimes it takes only one second for a "god" to fall to a lousy ant. After forty years of dissolute excesses, His sudden shameful death "marks an end to the first phase of the Libyan revolution. "(SENATOR JOHN McCAIN) according to Washington D.C.

It's true that the long and crazy authoritarian of Qaddafi has eventually come to an end. But is a bright future of Libyans promised? With the collapse of the Qaddafi power, Libya is left with no complete government system and huge war damage all across the country. Even without Qaddafi, this country is still faced with serious problems, such as war of secession and anarchy. "There have also been discouraging reports about the treatment of migrant workers, and of infighting within the National Transitional Council."(New York Times)Will the rebel's governance be responsible for the recovery? Will the Libyans' benefits be put as the first order? Nothing can be guaranteed so far. I hope this time Libyans can work together with one heart and rebuild a new country with true democracy.
