Rare Gadhafi Footage Shows Libyan Dictator's Softer Side

Much of the world has seen the strong, loud and defiant¹ side of the ousted² Libyan leader.
But there is another side, too. A family man with his granddaughter, recorded on home video found in Tripoli.
This earlier happiness is in stark³ contrast to the angry autocrat⁴ still fighting to stay in power despite an international reputation that scholar Daniel Serwer says has gone from bad to worse. "He had a moment of recovery there when he gave up the nuclear technology, the weapons of mass destruction, but this finale is going to wreck⁵ any legacy⁶ he might have left," Serwer said.
Gadhafi is a man with few cares in one video. He asks his granddaughter how she feels about him. She gladly approves.
Jerrold Post, director of the political psychology⁷ program at George Washington University, says Gadhafi is a complex individual who sees defiance⁸ as boldness. "He slides into this posture⁹ that's been part of his psychology from the earliest days: the lonely Arab leader standing¹⁰ up bravely against a superior force," Post said.
In one video he promises his grandchildren he will protect them from their ghosts.
For years, Gadhafi never shied from the spotlight¹¹, but he has not been seen for weeks. Libya's provisional leaders are hunting for him even as they try to negotiate a peaceful surrender of his last remaining strongholds.
