I don't think that what you said contradicts the parent post, that nukes would have protected Ghaddifi. Wouldn't the Misrata be considered NATO allies in Libya at the time, given they were both fighting against Ghaddafi? Do you think NATO would have intervened if Ghaddafi had nukes? Would the Misrata have been able to kill him if NATO had not intervened? It doesn't matter why someone wants to attack. It's been the case that countries with nukes don't get attacked like countries without nukes.
