Gaddafi fought to the end like he said he would.

To all those yelling about how much of a coward he is, you were proven wrong. He might have been a dictator but he fought to the end in what he believed in. I have nothing but respect for that.

How strange it is to see someone who is ordinarily a strongly presented proud man in that way.


All men are equal in death. No King or conqueror, no pauper or shopkeep has ever escaped.

I loved playing as the allies. Use their naval units on the enemy flank ad base as a distraction, and then roll in with the medium tanks.

What? Just send Gadaffi to Pyongyang and be done with it. He will enjoy the DPRK, and the luxuries. He can even sleep with me if he wants to in Pyongyang. :p

Well Ronnie was selling the Iranians weapons, so how he's not a Benedict Arnold-type figure is beyond me.

Facts have never gotten in the way of conservative spin before.

I've always bought into the "hooray war crimes!" school of strategy games. I take pleasure in flattening the villages.

He went down fighting...for himself. Which, I guess, is what he believed in.

For the same reason I loved the first Soviet mission where you could burn down an entire village by shooting a few barrels :P

But try telling a Kurd he's not a terrorist.

I'm just saying that it's not like Bush was a failure at nabbing everyone he wanted to get. He got Saddam.

And another one bites the dust.... :bow:
We are a liberal Democracy with many vocal, sometimes disruptive and often smelly opposition groups. These are tolerated with amused smiles and the occasional application of a well-placed baton.
