Gadhafi shoulda ducked

Not a very original headline, but it's been in the back of my mind for half a year so I figure this is my last chance to use it. The Libyan dictator/tyrant/whatever ran like a rat up a drainpipe -- as the Aussies say -- but got caught and killed anyway. An ignominious end. [There's a word you don't see very often. Ed.] ["End"? Walt]

Walt has composed a little tribute.

So, farewell then
Moammar Gadhafi
Had you been more religious
You could have been known
As "the Mad Mullah"
Instead of
"The Mad Colonel".

That little war only took...what...seven months or so? Now the NATO forces can come home covered with glory, or at least sand. They return to America, Britain, Canada, France, Qatar [Are you sure about the last one? Ed.] with a perfect record:
No runs - Nobody ran away
No hits - Except for a few hundred innocent bystanders
No errors - See above
And
Nobody left on base.
