It was 23 years ago but the pain does not go away:
" All 259 passengers, including 35 Syracuse University students returning home for the holidays, were killed in the explosion.
In addition, 11 residents of Lockerbie were killed in the shower of airplane parts that unexpectedly fell from the sky." (History)
We later learned that Libya was behind the terrorist act.
We were furious in 2009 when the "bomber" was released on "humanitarian" grounds. Are you kidding me?
In 2011, Qaddafi met justice. I was happy to see him killed.
However, I'd have preferred "the McCain approach", or using US air power to bring about a quick ending of the regime. I did not like the "Obama approach" or going to the to the UN rather than the US Congress.
In the end, Qaddafi met justice for the death of those innocent people in 1988. I hope that he is burning in hell with Saddam and the new arrival from North Korea.
As I said, it still hurts 23 years later!
