Spetalnick, Matt "Obama: Gaddafi Death is Warning to Iron Fist Rulers" (Online Article)

Pages
Summary:
     President Obama reacted to Mummar Gaddafi's death in Libya today by warning authorities in the Middle East that the "Iron-Fist-Ruler"  must inevitably comes to an end.  Obama offered for the United states to partner with Libya's interim government and will help with a quick transition into democracy.  John Mcain pointed out that Gaddafi's death represents an end to the first phase of the Libyan revolution. Senator Carllerin said it was a blow to dictatorship everywhere. The strongest reactions to Gaddafi's death were probably from the families who were affected by the 1988 terrorist attack on a Pam-Am flight over Scotland, where Gaddafi's government was responsible. For the people of Libya and all those affected by his tyrannic dictatorship, they can now feel a sigh of relief as justice has been served.

Reactions: 
     Not knowing much about what happened today, this article was a good reference on how the United States was handling things.  However, I think this article would have been made better with the story and background information on how Gaddafi was killed.  I also Feel that this article lacked organization of the topics discussed.
