The 69-year-old Gadhafi Dictator and ruler of Libya — the first leader to be killed in the Arab Spring wave of popular uprisings — had vowed to fight to the an end. In his world of nationalism and desert sprit, it was a fate better than the perceived humiliation,, of exile or incarceration endured by Tunisia’s Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak in recent past.
While the death of Gadhafi and the triumph of the uprising in his North African nation has instantly given heart-- to pro-reform activists dreaming here,, of change, all the Arab world will watch closely what happens next in Libya -- and to whether the region’s "Assads" and "Salehs" will see in his fate is decided,, an incentive to cling to power,, and crack down even harder on any sign of unrest.
