Who are the real tyrants?

''All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent'' Thomas Jefferson

I thought i could remain silent over the brutal killing of Muammar Gaddafi but i just can't otherwise i will be equal to those who choose to be blind to atrocities. So they killed him in cold blood and treated his body with so much disregard for human life and human rights going against the laws of Islam, the same law that the new Libya claims to be founded on. Jamie Tarabay in this article says

''those who were fighting to depose him might be as ruthless as the person they were determined to replace''

Where was the logic in this brutality? does Libyans even know that we live in a democratic world that guarantees everybody the right to life no matter how tyrannical one is perceived to be. Worse tyrants are those in 'civilized countries' who celebrated the death of Muammar. Such is Simon Sebag Montefiore who wrote an Op-ed called Dictators Get the Deaths They Deserve shamelessly justified the killings quoting biblical instances he says

''There is no greater achievement for the tyrant — short of immortality — than to die in his own bed''

He further states

''His preposterously exuberant cult of personality was surely shattered by the spectacle of his pathetic demolition''

In another article by Ellen Knickmeyer 'Ladies love Libyan Rebels- the sexual Revolution arrives in Tripoli' further ignores the atrocities the rebels committed on the women and children in their quest to oust Gaddafi. It endevours to paint a propagandist picture by adding a sexual dimension to the war. How can the Libyan woman see the rebel who wiped her family as a 'sexual liberator'? How possible is this scenario? What prompted me to write this article was such kinds of literature being circulated and published in respected and widely read newspapers. The amount of moral and social decay being presented here is one of utmost disgust.
