穆阿埃尔•卡扎菲曾经心存高远。但是在他人生最后的掌权期里，他的自吹自擂都变成了泡影，他的威胁也变成了空话；他就是虚假和拼死抓住权利不放的代名词。在首都的黎波里一个标志上写着这样一句话：该是脱离卡扎菲统治的时候了。当八月份卡扎菲对这个城市的控制土崩瓦解的时候，这个城市曾一度为卡扎菲的死而害怕。我们不要在注意人生已经落幕的卡扎菲了。

Muammar Gaddafi was once bigger than life. But at the end of his time in power, his braggadocio had become surreal, his threats disembodied; he was almost all feint and desperate manipulation. "It's time to leave frizz head," read one sign in Tripoli, the capital that was once both enthralled and scared to death of him, as his control over the city crumbled in August. Pay no attention to the man wearing the curtain.   Two months before his demise, his menace was already in retreat. In the late afternoon of Aug. 23, after hours of pounding battle, Libya's rebels smashed through the fortified perimeter of Gaddafi's compound in western Tripoli — the nerve center of the old regime — sending huge plumes of smoke over the city. Gaddafi and his loyalists fled. He declared the withdrawal "tactical," but he was running for his life. The triumphant transitional government, no longer comprised of rebels but rulers, offered more than $1 million for his head. They got it on Oct. 20, when a bloodied Gaddafi was captured as his hometown of Sirt fell to the new government after a ferocious siege of several weeks. He was quickly reported to have died of his wounds, and a gruesome cell-phone photo of a pale-faced man looking much like the colonel circulated online almost immediately. His last words may have been "Don't shoot." Gaddafi's long, weird run as unquestioned overlord of Libya was over.  (See pictures of Gaddafi's 40 years in power.)  Long before his end, Muammar Gaddafi had become the weird, creepy, certainly criminal uncle who showed up, because he was really rich, at reunions of world leaders. He did not begin that way. How a young man from deep poverty in a rural North African town rose to become one of the West's most intractable foes, and then one of its most critical political and economic partners, is an extraordinary political saga.   Gaddafi was scarcely destined for power. Born in 1942 into a tribal Bedouin family near the coastal town of Sirt, he was raised in a country still digging out from the ravages of World War II and a long struggle against Italian colonialism. The giant oil reserves that lay beneath the Libyan desert were years away from being explored. In fact, Libya was barely a nation at all. Gaddafi was 9 years old when the country finally gained its independence from France and Britain (which administered it jointly after the war's end) and became a monarchy under King Idris al-Sanusi.  (Watch TIME's 2009 interview with Gaddafi.)  Like many provincial boys with little education, Gaddafi joined the army. He became a captain, then trained at Britain's elite Sandhurst Academy, before returning home as an officer in the Signal Corps. It was in that position, at just 27, that he led a group of junior officers in a bloodless coup, toppling King Idris and declaring himself colonel. In the museum glorifying Gaddafi's "people's revolution," set within the high stone walls of the fortress in Tripoli's Green Square, one of the main exhibits was a battered sand-colored jeep with open sides, in which Gaddafi, according to his own legend, rode into the city, victorious on Sept. 1, 1969, to present himself as Libya's leader to a people hungry for popular leadership.   For many Libyans, it was a thrilling moment. Back in 1968, Gaddafi, a dashing young man with a chiseled jaw and piercing eyes, looked to many Libyans every bit as romantic a figure as Che Guevara. "We thought it was a revolution for freedom and human rights," says Fathi Baja, 58, a political science professor in Benghazi. Like countless young Libyans in 1969, Baja, who was in high school at the time, marched in the streets, hailing Gaddafi for overthrowing King Idris. Much later, Baja would become the opposition's head of political affairs when the rebellion against Gaddafi erupted in February 2011. By then, the vehicle of legend had become not Gaddafi's jeep but the ramshackle pickups that the rebel fighters rode to the front to battle his fearsome army.      
穆阿迈尔•卡扎菲曾经不可一世。但在他执掌大权的最后时刻，他的自夸变得超现实，他的威胁变得虚幻，他佯装进攻反对派，孤注一掷地开战，“现在是离开卷毛的时候了，”的黎波里的一条标语写道，八月，当他在丧失对的黎波里的控制权后，这座曾经因卡扎菲的死变得既吸引人又使人恐惧的城市。没人注意到卡扎菲此时正穿着一幅窗帘布。

卡扎菲曾经野心勃勃。在他掌权的最后阶段，他的自夸变成浮夸，他的威胁变得虚幻；他的控制虚无缥缈令人绝望。曾被他奴役和恐吓的首都的黎波里，在八月份瓦解了它的统治之后，有一个告示是这样写的："是时候放松了。”无视带着面具的人吧。

穆阿迈尔·卡扎菲曾经也是叱咤风云，不可一世。但在他执政的最后阶段，却因过于自大而变得偏离实际，威慑力也因此变得空乏无比。那时的他几乎是故弄玄虚，孤注一掷，极端从政。在8月份，随着卡扎菲对其政权统治的最后崩溃和瓦解，曾一度因卡扎菲之死而变得既吸引人有使人恐惧的利比亚首都的黎波里，出现了这样一则标语：“是时候摆脱他的控制了。”……

穆阿迈尔•卡扎菲曾经叱咤风云，不可一世。但在他执掌大权的最后阶段，他的自吹自雷已脱离现实，他的威胁恫吓也显得苍白无力，他装腔作势，企图操纵一切，做着最后的无力的挣扎。八月，随着卡扎菲政权的土崩瓦解，曾经在他的奴役和恐怖统治下的首都黎波里公然出现了这样的标语：“是时候摆脱这个暴君的统治了”卡扎菲时代结束了，没有人会去在意他了。

穆阿迈尔•卡扎菲曾风光无限。但在他执掌大权的最后时刻，他的自夸超脱现实，他的威胁虚幻空洞，他佯装进攻反对派，孤注一掷地挑起战争，的黎波里的一条标语写道“是时候离开卷毛了”。八月，当他在丧失对的黎波里的控制权后，这座曾因卡扎菲的死变得既吸引人又让人恐惧的城市。没人注意到卡扎菲此时正穿着一块窗帘。

穆阿迈尔•卡扎菲曾经如此伟大。但就在他掌权的最后时期，他的夸夸其谈已经变得不切实际，他的恐吓也变得空洞。他的操控也只是做做样子。当八月他的统治瓦解，曾因为他的死亡感到害怕的首都——的黎波里有这样一句标语“是时候离开卡扎菲了”。请别再关注那个已经逝去的卡扎菲。

卡扎菲曾经自称非常的强大，当他统治的时代告终时，他的那些自吹自擂、狂妄自大和恐吓威胁显得那么荒谬可笑，他以前简直就是在伪装做作。八月份，他对黎波里的统治完全崩溃，接着，一位曾经被他奴役并且吓得要死的资本家这样宣读声明:"你的死期到了。”从此我们解放了，不必再害怕那个故作惺态的男人了。
