Poetic Justice


Pan Am 103 was bombed over Lockerbie, Scotland by a Libyan operative, Abelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, in 1988 and 270 people died (259 passangers and crew ... 189 of them Americans).  He was eventually convicted and sentenced to life in prison in Scotland ... but, then under nefarious circumstances, was released back to Libya in August, 2009.  The cover story was that he had cancer and only had a month or so to live.  He is still alive and kicking one and 1/2 years later.  Very recently Libya's dictator, Muammar al-Qaddafi, has also be implicated in this act of terrorism by his former Justice Minister (see: An Aha Moment)

Now, with Libya in utter chaos, wouldn't it be nice if Pan-Am-103 vengences were finnally slaked by the rioting mobs there ... and both al-Qaddafi and al-Megrahi were give the central-square Mussolini treatment (maybe with a nudge from the CIA).  Might not that be the sweetest of poetic justice?

Afterthought:  Let us not forget that Obama's former minister, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and the leader of the United States' Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, have both visited and had a private audience with Qaddafi (see WorldNetDaily).

Don't forget that Democratic President George W. Bush lifted most U.S. sanctions against Libya.

That was because Quaddafi closed up his "nooclear" reactors ... probably because he saw what that cowboy Bush did to Saddam Hussein. It was obviously a mistake on Bush's part. But then Democrats are prone to such naivete

Poetic Justice is Deval Patrick praising Mitt Romney for Romneycare.

Yes, Romney has a problem. (Obama gave him the needle too.) Mitt better find a way out of this box if he has a chance in 2012.
