That has been posted already a few times...

Not fair at all, they had things much better than us, at least now we've put Al Qaeda in control and implemented Sharia law

Did not know that...

Try feeding that list to your average Libyan... they would shove it so far up your ass shit would pop out of your eye sockets...

Gaddafi was a steaming pile and deserved 1000% the knife he took up the ass.
I hope jackals and hyenas get his bastard retarded children.

Why haven't the people of Lybia rallied to support their great leader then?

NATO's intervention on rebels' side is surely the factor, but would it alone suffice to help rebels to take over the country?

There were documentaries about Libya years before the propaganda started; the Libyan people were 100% behind Gaddafi. What we saw recently was proven to be coming from film studios and fake YouTube/Twitter accounts. The rebels are Al CIAda :2 cents:

Here are protestors in Tripoli with there...errr...Indian flags

I wonder why they have so many Indian flags sitting in their studios :Oh crap

They were lied to by Banker-Owned Al Jazeera and they didn't know what to make of the fake Twitter/YouTube reports. They are the victims of a war of information :2 cents:

That makes sense. But is it also possible that the idea of a Sharia rule is not that alien to the majority of Lybian population?

Back in the 70's they had Sharia Law. On this occasion the people are mythed by it.

If we look back in history to when the UK went into the area known as Nigeria, they found that the Christians in the South were difficult to control, but the Muslims of the north very easy, so the British put the Muslims in control of the Christians, giving them weapons to crush any Christina uprisings. If you have control of a Muslim country from the very top, it's a lot easier to control than a Christian country. Like US controlled Saudi Arabia. This is why they've placed Sharia Law on Libya, as it makes it a lot easier to control the population while their resources are grabbed :2 cents:

Taqia fi Allah...

Talk to me when you know what that means...

How do you explain that Libyans are still fighting NATO and Alqaeda after Gadafi is dead and Gadafi gave weapons to oridnary people (would be suicide that they not support hims like west is saying). I know few libyans studiyng here and yes, post at the top is true.

Anyway , NATO was trying to enslave Libya for 8 months and still didn't manage to do that. Some people here are wondering why Libyans didn't rally to support. Yes, they did, and still doing but try to do that under bombing of NATO and brigades of Al Qaeda.

Hm... Interesting. I never thought of it from that angle. But yes, it makes sense. Sharia countries should be easier to control by foreign powers. When people have no say in political matters, it is enough to bribe corrupted elites.

Kaddafi should have allowed Christian missionaries in long ago. With the reduced % of muslim populace Western powers might have had troubles pulling that Sharia trick.

i doubt his parents lived in a tent.
the other stuff is kind of cool though

too bad he will hang you if he sends you to school in the usa...and you come back with a different outlook..lol

and they are fucked out now, few people that didt have millions will now have it, some maybe billions

REST WILL EAT THEIR SHIT NOW

Yeah he was an amazing man. They all had the best homes. the best education and more money GIVEN to them than any one on the planet.

They were greedy and just wanted more.


Here are a few minor points you left off.

1 1. There is no electricity bill in Libya; electricity is free for all its
citizens.

Shut off at his whim for any length of time he wanted.

2. There is no interest on loans, banks in Libya are state-owned and loans
given to all its citizens at 0% interest by law.

Sadly loans were only given to friends and family and the RIGHT to own your own business and prosper was not allowed

3. Home considered a human right in Libya ? Gaddafi vowed that his parents
would not get a house until everyone in Libya had a home. Gaddafi?s father has
died while him, his wife and his mother are still living in a tent. (Unlike Western leaders who live in mansions while many are homeless)

Regardless of who they had to take it from. And lets not forget that the best homes go to friends and family while the rest get what they can.. ( Ask any Cuban from the Island about this )

Many more to go but a waste of time as some will actually defend this guy.

We had no business in that country, starting that shit or killing that guy.

9. The price of petrol in Libya is $0.14 per liter. Well this is the reason it was done.

this is funny

Just to put things into perspective as to how the media portrays situations, I've been in a conflict situation before and the media made the situation look like it was country wide, total chaos, and borderline war zone. In reality, it was fairly contained, and while some other cities had some smaller conflicts as well, 95% of the country was going on around it all as if nothing was happening. However, the media had ratings to get, so every piece on every channel was over sensationalized, mostly violent, and blown out of proportion.

I only say this because it is very possible there were many large groups of Libyans who supported their leader, and still do, but we can only see what they allow us to see. The media/war propaganda machine calls the shots.

Not saying anything shown was incorrect or Gadaffi was good, but I am saying the media chooses what to show, and unless any of us were there and seeing it with our own eyes, you have to take what we are shown with a grain of salt, as it's usually only a small portion of what is actually happening. There are always multiple sides to a story.

If you really want to bake your noodle, go to Vietnam and see how they view "The American War." It's a different story than what we all know, and the images they have, images we've never been shown, are beyond horrible. I actually broke down and cried in the war museum when I saw their side of the story.

the more you do to help people the more they resent it...

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.
Mark Twain

then there is all the money at stake.... the guys wanting the money got everyone pissed with rumors and other BS

I've personally spoken with a few 'guest' of the vietnamese government during the conflict. their stories will make you break down and cry as well.

poor people do not start revolutions. it is the middle class, in this case they travelled abroad, got their degrees and saw how well life was in Europe and came back to their shithole.

I'm sure. Horrible war for everyone involved.

Some of the images they have at the museum were awful. Especially when it came to the Agent Orange section where it showed so many horribly deformed children.

War sucks. :Oh crap

Yeah, except for the minor inconvenience of living in an authoritarian state where any and all opposition or dissent is dealt with by immediately detainment, torture and execution, I'm sure things were just perfect. Hitler made the trains run on time but he had some quirks, Saddam Hussein built universities when he wasn't busy gassing villages full of children and old people with chemical weapons and Gadhafi took time out of his busy schedule of building the perfect utopia to do things like blow up a fully loaded Boeing 747 of innocent people over Scotland.

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.

greed and anger suck :(

Exactly. You can still find info online about war and hapening there.

there was no win, people are fighting and waiting tomorow that NATO pulls out. Then real mess will start. Only idiots or people without experience can think that Libyans are against someone who freed them from colonialism and gave them easy life.

Sounds like the list of demands from OWS. How'd that work out for Libya?

before telling stuff like this, I suggest to read Gadafi's Green Book

That was 40 years ago. With the older generations, you could be 100% correct. Younger generations are a different ballgame. They don't know that colonialism. They don't know what "life was like." Instead, they see what life is like right now and compare it to what they see elsewhere and think to themselves... "hey, maybe we are getting fucked."

This is natural and you see it in every country. In the United States, talk to anyone from the depression era and they will laugh at the kids today whining about not having an iPhone. What you did yesterday may have been great, but what you do today and tomorrow is far more important... and if what you do today and tomorrow is not pure, you will eventually suffer.

You are perfect example of how people without any knowledge are making decisions , and that is nightmare. First, witnesses on trial for Lockerbie were paid and before commenting how Gadafi was ruling , take a look how tribes there vote and how they choose their representatives. I can bet you don't know shit about their system.

My opinion of him should change after reading a book written by him?

Nope, you should find it somewhere on CNN site, shortened and simplified version,of course.

why do people who see the coming totalitarian new world order police state in every headline end up supporting every despotic anti-democratic totalitarian dictatorship out there?

good question :2 cents:

Yeah, of course its all a conspiracy and nothing but lies.

Didn't see that coming at all!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

he never lived up to the ideas and ideals in that book. that is obvious.

i can write a book called "i never argued with poor deluded souls on the internet" but it does not mean it's true.

heard they were reintroducing polygamy.. how long till women won't be going to school?
