What Am I Doing in a Tunnel?

Picture from NYTimes.  The tunnels where Qaddafi was found.

So at what point in the tunnel does it occur to me that maybe, just maybe, the other people in Libya aren't thrilled with the job I have been doing for the last 40 years.  How did it get to this point?

I would think there is a point in the proceedings where you would decide that it is better to convert a little of the billions of dollars you have siphoned off from the national economy and disappear to some tropical island with your fake i.d.  It seems to me a much better option than to be hunted down like a rat in a tunnel and shot.

This is what I hope is the start of good news for Libya.  This all started last February and now Qaddafi ends up dead in a tunnel.  Its too bad he didn't take the desert island option earlier and save thousands of lives in Libya.

May the people of Libya get the peace and prosperity that they so richly deserve.

And oh, Bashar al-Assad, are you the next man up?  They found Saddam Hussein in a foxhole, Muammar Qaddafi was found in a tunnel, where will history find you?
