Destiny

Subhan Allah, how the times change. You can be on top of the world one day, then the next...

There are some lessons we can learn from the plight of Gaddafi, and I dont just mean the usual don't kill people, don't try to rule for 42 years and quit while you're ahead. (you'd think these were obvious enough, but some people (ahem ahem) are still failing to get the message)

In the 80s, Muammar al Gaddafi called dissident libyan expats "stray dogs" and ordered their asassination. Today, he is roaming the desert (well, probably by night), scrounging food and hiding in holes fearing for his life, if he has any idea what's going on and retains control of his mind, which is debatable. His family drift across borders without control, accepting any hospitality. Just like his "stray dogs", but without the dignity they had.

He talked for years about democracy, the people ruling themselves, the weapons for the people etc etc is now watching it be finally realised. He was so in love with the rhetoric of a popular revolution, now he's finally got one.

Be very careful what you say, it will come back and haunt you. Man's worst enemy is his own tongue. And hypocrites and liars will always be exposed, no matter how long it takes. If God wasn't above such things I might say Qadr is written with a sense of humour.
