Should Gaddafi be assassinated? update 16th March

Should Gaddafi be assassinated?  

Colonel Gaddafi is the acting leader of Libya; he is a man who has not stopped his ruthless ways of leading for 42 years. In the last few weeks the Libyans have finally began to protest.  It has, unfortunately turned into a blood bath; Gaddafi has refused to step aside and has taken lethal action on his own people. Some ask why they started protesting in the first place, here are there reasons.

He runs a very similar form of government as the Nazis of World War 2. That being that he takes tax payers money and spends it on himself and for the luxury of higher members of Libyan society. That also means the rejection of free speech, will and spirituality.

He like all dictators will not let the people vote or have a say in how he leads the country, and anybody who does will be shot, there are also many reports of Libyan police torturing civilians to keep them quiet. Under his rule he is making life for the middle-lower classes of Libya a living hell. 

The main reasons for Gaddafi’s assassination or forced removal are. To stop the slaughter of innocent Libyan civilians. His forces have killed up to 800 people in the last few weeks. Apparently the Libyan army are using Anti-Aircraft ammunition which is a very large projectile which can easily remove limbs. There are reports of men, women and children with severed arms and many with the complete removal of heads. U.S president Barack Obama quoted in a meeting that this violence is unacceptable and is urging Gaddafi to stop, but he has ignored.     

Secondly Libya has a large supply of oil that could be mined and exported to other neighbouring countries. Gaddafi has not made the most of these natural resources. If Libya did they would greatly increase the wealth in General for Libyans this being more jobs and income.

Gaddafi’s government is a failed state, this meaning that it is based on corruption. He has lost control of his territory; there is no civilised Authority to make correct decisions to increase standard living. He has lost the ability to produce public transport or plumbing to the Libyan people, he shoots people on sight who question his rule. He has lost the ability to interact and promote the welfare of Libya and neighbouring African countries.

Overall Libya is a mess.

So should Gaddafi be assassinated, there are many reasons for it, so it is the best option. But I believe the Allied forces namely ANZUS (Australian New Zealand United states Army corps should take care of this problem,  by force as this is a huge crime of international law, that being in the section of human rights. He should be captured and trialled much like Sadam Hussein. The attempt of Assassinations is usually unsuccessful on highly protected world leaders. 

There are many problems with sending an entire army over to Libya though. First problem is the Americans simply can’t afford to send their troops to Libya after Iraq and Afghanistan, they have to pay for soldiers, aircraft, tanks, bombers, firearms and mobile vehicles, the Americans may be the most powerful nation in the world but they don’t harvest money trees over there. It would be much easier to send a small team to take care of Gaddafi.

Many ask the question, what will we do if he is killed or removed as a leader, I believe that they should form an American or British government with representatives to lead the country until it gets back on its feet.

Speaking Asessment Task

Persuasive texts are designed to position a point of view(opinion - thesis).


Texts that successfully persuade are usually highly emotive (emotional words + influence listener/audience emotions) and effectively balance opinions with facts (research- logos).


Persuasive texts can make sweeping generalisations (uniformed conclusion), rely on stereotypes and hyperbole and yet still seem credible.


This is because a combination of objective (facts) and subjective (opinion) information is usually used to persuade.


Careful use of repetition and high modality words(persuasion techniques) can emphatically convey the composer’s purpose if it is counterbalanced with the use of statistics, expert evidence and product/idea endorsement from authoritative sources(ethos)(objective).


Moreover, effective incorporation of anecdotes(personal story), analogies (comparison) and inclusive language (we, us, ours - include the audience) (techniques) can personalise the message and help connect the composer and their text with its audience.

Obama speech MLK

Alot of people are probably thinking what is the point, what is the point of going to the CAS swimming carnival. I cant be bothered or we are going to lose for the 8th time, we wont win, Trinity is to good.  
That may be true, but that is last year. If we do not go to this CAS tournament we will surely lose. Because when our swimmers go onto that platform and all they hear is Jeering from other schools, two things can happen, they could be angry and want to succeed to prove them wrong or they will lose hope and not try as hard.

Well this is what I have to say to them, when the boys of trinity are shouting and screaming that knox sucks and cheering their on their imports we will rub our fingers

Martin Luther King

I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. And some of you have come from areas where your quest -- quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.
