Amazing, although we must respect and honour those who died on the front line, let's not forget the amazing backbone of support from their wives and mothers and sisters and daughters back home.  They made this possible just as the fighting rebels did.

@gangeen1 I know women in Tripoli and Sirt at this moment suffering from an oppressive regime. NATO is saving lives, Gerdafi is killing lives. Don't get it twisted.

@FATPEOPLERULE123 You are one smart Guy. NATO+Rats = death and destruction of the best country in Africa to live in.

@MissProud2be Haha you're kidding right? NATO is the biggest terrorist on earth, just think about this, who has killed more innocent people NATO/USA or Al-Qaeda? Gaddafi was the one saving lives while NATO was bombing children and women.

E non si vergogna di parlare in questo modo? Lei è una persona disgustosa e cinica. Le piacerebbe che questo succedesse nel suo paese? alle donne del suo paese? della sua famiglia?
