Was Gaddafi a murderous villain?
By my understanding he sponsored IRA terrorists and unnecessarily attacked Egypt and Algeria in some minor conflicts and a few public executions (Lockerbie was pretty clearly a Syrian action).... That's it? I do think he claimed to be a murderous villain since that was working for assad
I could be wrong but on raw terms it's not too far off from say any given us president in the last 100 years
- tokai 4y agoSo how many people do you need to get killed before you can be a murderous villain? You are actually underlining the point with your apologia for a dictator. It also would be nice if US presidents also took the consequences of their crimes. But your whataboutism is not really an argument for anything here.
- Georgelemental 4y agoProbably most world leaders are "murderous villains" in some way or another. It sucks, but much better than universal anarchy and civil war
- themitigating 4y agoWhy is it a choice between allowing leaders to almost never be punished or complete anarchy
- throwawaymaths 4y agoNo apologia intended. I would call assad, putin a murderous villain. I would say Gaddafi murdered a few people.
