I swear twenty years ago when I read a biography of Gadafi his name was spelled "Khadafi" and the mainstream media used a K instead of a G... what could have happened in twenty years that the spelling was altered?

 

Anyway, there are over 112 different ways to spell Muammar el Khadafi, according to ABC, the topic was raised in 2009:

About the political event, I'm reserving my opinion of it.

I've seen it spelled with a "Q" too.

Yeah, there were a lot of ways.

if by 'those assholes' you mean arabs, then yeah -- there's apparently no direct phonetic translation from arabic to english, which is why the OLB/UBL and MK/MQ/MG variants exist.

 

As for this story - Khadaffi was apparently taken captive by rebels while alive, then beaten up & shot twice, then paraded & dragged around town while barely still living, only to be pronounced dead on his way to a hospital. fair treatment for the guy, I dare to say.

 

edit: gotta love that internet thingy... another graphic one.

While most arabs I have known were/are assholes, I was referring to terrotists/dictators, etc.

Arabic is a phonetic language.

He got the Mussolini treatment...same thing with Ceaușescu.

Whenever long time dictators fall into the hands of their 'loving' subjects...things often get nasty.
