I can also rattle off quite a few good things Adolf Hitler did. Like Gadhafi, Hitler had supporters then and also has supporters now. Hell, George W Bush has supporters!

People are people. They do good and they do bad. Very rarely will someone do all good or all bad. Additionally, "giving" to your people is a great way to control them and assert power. You make them dependent on you and they think you are God because you gave them a better life than what they knew. And it might be true, you did give them a better life... but it doesn't erase the atrocities either.

I don't know any Libyans and I did not meet Mr. Gadhafi, but no list of a dozen pleasant things that he did for his people will erase the atrocities he inflicted upon his people.
