This is purely a gee whiz observation, but I’m always fascinated looking at photos of these long time leaders through the years. Dictators like Gadhafi have been making news since I was knee-high to a grasshopper.
FILE - This undated photo shows Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. A U.S. official says Libya’s new government has told the United States that Gadhafi, 69, is dead. The official said Libya’s Transitional National Council informed U.S. officials in Libya of the development Thursday, Oct. 20, 2011. His death on Thursday, confirmed by Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril, came as Libyan fighters defeated Gadhafi’s last holdouts in his hometown of Sirte, the last major site of resistance in the country.
