His name is Moammar Gadhafi, not Moamer Kadhafi.

Well Gadaffi actauly has 112 correct ways to spell his name, its to do with the awkward translation from Arabic to English.

Okay. I will explain.

There is a lingual process called transliteration. It's a lot like translation, but translation deals with meaning, and transliteration deals with sound and spelling. Since English and Arabic do not share an alphabet, there is no definite transliteration of most Arabic world: Muslim, Moslem; Gadhafi, Kadhafi, Gaddafi; Usama, Osama; All of those are correct.
