I am wondering how could there be so many versions of this guy’s name.

According to some there are at least 12 different ways to spell the colonel’s name, including Qaddhafi (New York Review of Books), Qaddafi (New Republic), Gaddafi(Time), Kaddafi (Newsweek), Khadafy (Maclean’s), Qadhafi (U.S. News & World Report), Qadaffi (Business Week), and Gadaffi (World Press Review).

So what is it then?
