Rough justice. You've all seen the phone camera pics and videos.

They are horrific, but you can't have much sympathy for a murderous
monster like Gaddafi. He got what he deserved - especially since he
was given a plethora of opportunities to safely leave Libya and live
out his days in comfortable exile. The choice to end like this was
his.

So Bush got Saddam and Zero will claim he got Gaddafi - even though
Marco Rubio was right in observing that it was the Brits and French.
The contrast in how they were "gotten" is, however, instructive in the
extreme.

That contrast is between the humane calm professionalism of American
soldiers pulling Saddam Hussein out of his spider hole, and the bloody
frenzy of ragtag Libyan rebels pulling Moammar Gaddafi out of his
drain pipe.

This is the difference between civilization and barbarism, between
democracy and mobocracy. It is tempting to say the difference is
reflected in that between the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street.

Would you borrow a lot of money to become ignorant?

Two of the most popular demands of the Occupy Wall Street protesters
are for "free college education," and "debt forgiveness" for student
loans.

The autophagous orgy of College students are not among those whom
Marxist revolutionary Frantz Fanon (1925-1961) called the "Wretched of
the Earth." These protesters demonstrate their "youthful idealism" by
demanding free stuff for themselves.

The collegians do have a beef. Many are discovering that despite
their very expensive educations, they are essentially unemployable.
(The unemployment rate among 2010 college grads is slightly higher
than the national unemployment rate is now.)

Perhaps this is because their very expensive educations taught them so
little about the economic system they are protesting against. New
York Magazine discovered,

when it polled 50 protesters in Zuccotti Park, that most have no clue
what the rich pay in taxes, how the federal government spends its
money, or what the SEC is supposed to do.

The real villains in our economic crisis are those in the political
class who pandered to the voter by promising more in benefits to be
paid for by others. As more and more people lose their jobs, the
demand for government payments grows, making the situation worse and
worse. The U.S. government is spending roughly 40 percent more than it
is taking in.

The simple fact is that the amount of explicit and implicit debt that
the United States and other governments have incurred cannot and will
not be paid back in full. The political class will try to cure the
debt mess with inflation, price controls, tax increases and
confiscation, but it will only make things worse.

As more and more jobs and homes are destroyed by the debt crisis, the
ranks of the revolutionaries will grow until, finally, the new
"peasants" realize that the rich are gone and it is the political
class who is responsible for the mess.

As Mr. Obama and many liberal Democrats embrace the Wall Street
protesters, I wonder if they have not only forgotten (or ever knew)
good economics, but also the lessons of history. Maximilien
Robespierre, a great orator, most certainly did not intend for himself
to be guillotined as he and his colleagues unleashed the Reign of
Terror during the French Revolution.
