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.
