Here's some advice for you, thomas81.
1. Get on a plane.
2. Fly to Libya.
3. Convince all of those women that Gaddafi ordered his men to rape that he was a good guy.
4. Convince all of those women that Gaddafi *personally* raped that he was a good guy.
5. Come back and tell us all about it.
Is there no limit to the acts of barbarism that you will defend to justify your extremism? You make me sick.
Heres the thing,
Libyan opinion on Colonel Gadaffi is as devisive as say, British rule in Northern Ireland or abortion and same sex marriage in the American mid states. In some towns, he is still a hero, in others he is reviled.
The reason is that the NTC faithful from places like Benghazi are the descendants of those who most benefitted under the Idris monarchy.
Riddle me this, if the Libyan people hated Gadaffi en masse like the NTC rats wanted you to believe, why is it that they required NATO airstrikes to gain a foothold in Tripoli? The reason is they wouldn't have, because they wouldve lost in an all out ground war against Gadaffi loyalists at full strength.
When in power, Gadaffi used to attend mass rallies, where every person in the crowd was armed with AK47's. If he was so hated, he wouldve been killed long before the NTC marched in.
Also other facts
Under Gadaffi
• There was no electricity bills in Libya; electricity is free … for all its citizens.
• There was no interest on loans, banks in Libya are state-owned and loans given to all its citizens at 0% interest by law.
• If a Libyan was unable to find employment after graduation, the state paid the average salary of the profession as if he or she is employed until employment was found.
• Should Libyans want to take up a farming career, they received farm land, a house, equipment, seed and livestock to kick start their farms – all for free.
• Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project, known as the Great Man-Made River project, to make water readily available throughout the desert country.
• A home was considered a human right in Libya. (In Qaddafi’s Green Book it states: “The house is a basic need of both the individual and the family, therefore it should not be owned by others.”)
• All newlyweds in Libya received 60,000 Dinar (US$ 50,000 ) by the government to buy their first apartment so to help start a family.
• A portion of Libyan oil sales was credited directly to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens.
• A mother who gives birth to a child received US $5,000.
• When a Libyan bought a car, the government subsidizes 50% of the price.
• The price of petrol in Libya was $0.14 per liter.
• For $ 0.15, a Libyan local could purchase 40 loaves of bread.
• Education and medical treatments were free in Libya. Libya can boast one of the finest health care systems in the Arab and African World. All people have access to doctors, hospitals, clinics and medicines, completely free of charge.
• If Libyans could not find the education or medical facilities they need in Libya, the government funded them to go abroad for it – not only free but they get US $2,300/month accommodation and car allowance.
• 25% of Libyans had a university degree. Before Gaddafi only 25% of Libyans were literate. Today the figure is 87%.
• Libya had no external debt and its reserves amount to $150 billion – though much of this is now frozen globally.

Wow, what a monster.
Are there no amount of redeeming factors that will divert your attention from the interests of what is politically expedient for the western masters?
