Basically Libya would still have been an intact nation with college tuition and free health care if Gadaffi hadn't been so extraordinarily stupid to give money to Sarkozy - who later had him murdered and his nation destroyed via NATO to cover this fact up.

Basically this article would still be expanded if Gadaffi was not deposed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_violations_during_the_Gaddafi_regime https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_violations_during...

  Frankly, that record looks far cleaner than most US Presidents.

    That's a complete non-sequitur. Btw, I've seen chinese tankies and I've seen russian tankies. First time I see a gadaffian tankie.

      Maybe speak to some ex-Libyans then ? The security and economic stability compared to continuous civil war and chaos - which caused far more atrocities and deaths tends to change one's opinion on NATO sponsored regime change very fast. Millions of your so-called "gadaffi tankies" out there - just not much in the Western world. But keep thumping yourself on the chest. What do all the deaths and suffering matter ? The bad guy has been beheaded after all and the War stockholders got richer! Mission Accomplished!

        I was born and raised in one of the most authoritarian regimes in Europe. I know what totalitarian regimes do, and I experienced the crushing poverty that followed the demise of such a regime. The crimes of the Gaddafi regime are one thing, the ensuing chaos is another. We celebrate the end of a brutal regime and we despair at the death and destruction that followed.

        Did your nation encounter the same scale of calamity that Libya did ? I think not - it is easy to "celebrate" the end of a brutal regime when you don't have to pay the price.
