I really hope the junta is defeated and the leaders get the Gaddafi treatment. These fuckers have been a blight on their country for far too long.

I've been wanting these guys to chill for over 20 years. They have no chill. I've read so many takes on what it is they actually want, and why they keep seizing power. It seems the actual answer is that they just want power. Plain and simple.

If you're in a position like that you cannot chill. You either cling to power at all cost or you're going to end up getting beaten to death in a ditch. No in between. I really hope it's the latter for those bastards.
