I really hope for all these countries to get their freedom of speech now.

Meanwhile on the other side of the world, in the US, the House Committee passed a bill that criminalizes free speech and applies US 'drug war' policies across entire world

If an American talks about using marijuana or other drugs in countries where such activity is perfectly legal, or even just discusses the hypothetical idea of such an activity with a friend or family member, he or she will be committing a felony crime under a heinous new bill recently passed by the US House Judiciary Committee.

Non-Americans that conduct activities which are legal in their native countries, but illegal in the US, are also considered in violation of the law if they step foot on American soil, even during an airport layover

OT, but this is extremely hypocritical and reflects badly on a nation so proud of its [alleged] democracy and freedom of speech.

Will Syria & Yemen follow next? Will the crackdown intensify? Tune in to: 'As the World Rotates'.

Gaddafi's death a cautionary tale? Forget about his death! Everybody dies. He could have had it a lot worse. He could have slowly died of painful cancer for years. But no, they drag him out of a hole with gunshot wounds and he is dead within an hour. Considering he was 69 and the supreme ruler of an entire country for 40 some years and lived in the lap of luxury most of the time, I would like to do the same for even half the time and still die that way at 69.

People speak of Karma. Gaddafi cheated it. His tale is an inspiration to wanna-be dictators, if anything. Him and Saddam, who also died violently but quickly at 69.

The random killing of anyone is a step down for the entire human race! We have intellect and reason but lack the capacity to use it.

Sad......
