There was a photo, but it was faked. ;)

I think nmillar suggested that "the lack of a photo" is bound to start a conspiracy theory, but i should let the man speak for himself.;)

Subtly, oh so subtly, this is going to turn into a My Little Pony Bin Laden/Hitler slash fanfic.

Ah, my mistake.

Oh, this thread is full of mistakes and misunderstandings. ;)

My favourite reply ever!
And you'd be right.

BTW, I killed Colonel Gaddafi last night. I didn't take any pictures and threw his body into the sea. Just take my word for it; he's definitely dead.

*throws a parade*
Yeah, hooray, good riddance mofos!
*throws insults at pro Gaddafians*
*waves a flag*
*laughs at people in doubt*
*declares nmillar a world hero*
*declares anyone who doubts the words of holy nmillar a thief, communist and terrorist*
*writes 10 articles on how Gaddafi died, including him s#$ting himself, begging for mercy, offering his daughters in exchange for his life*

Now, this comment shouldn't cause a stir. ;D
I bet You've sent him to the moon, thats where the Masons have their base.

My gut feeling says that I should trust you.

My focus is Asian history, specifically Japan and Korea. But I've also studied plenty of World War II history since most colleges have very diverse programs regarding it, and my dad told me from a young age to look at every aspect of history, not just the US perspective.

I find not knowing all sides of a story is a disservice to anyone studying history, and it infuriates me when I see it in classes.

My favourite is the guy who said, "Isn't this the 3rd time he's died, he must be the Elvis."

Well, sometimes it's unintentional, there just isn't much information written by and about Gauls than there is about Romans.

But I do agree with your broader point, there's little point in studying history if there isn't a serious effort paid to getting it as fair and balanced as possible to the various sides. I remember being shocked to learn that there were free black settlements in the South prior to the civil war.

Of course I´m sure that the the americans took pictures of his dead body, they´re not stupid, just didn´t want to show his dead body as a trophy. Be sure that we´ll see it on a non distant future (wait until the "conspiranoids" begin with their stupid theories as we saw with 9/11)

haaha got you there man i mean its proven 9/11 was rigged a plane would not exsplode buildings like that and where was any help eh? no police no military just volinteers...nice how white house people justwas watching porn and bush fucking reading a kids book upside down i dont buy it i mean theres pics of american aircraft ...wel escorting them this is a oil war guys a fake war

I also think its sad to see the anti-Islam nuts spout random bullshit when they don't know jack shit about the history of Mohammad or the culutural/scientific advancements made under their leadership, and the expansion of the Caliphs (which was not the mass murder of unbelievers as you are very quick to hear).
