Humor the fool then. I won't argue with you or even respond to your answer unless you specifically ask me to do so. Just cite a few of the significant differences that you see.

Fair nuff:

1. Gaddafi took control through revolution, instilled himself as supreme leader and maintains that power to this day through intimidation and force. Lincoln was elected through legitimate election as prescribed by law.

2. Gaddafi is an international terrorist seeking to export violence where ever and whenever it suits his purpose. Lincoln had no such vile or grandiose aspirations. He was concerned exclusively with maintaining the union.

3. Gaddafi promotes racism and is an active participant in slavery, Lincoln abhorred both.

4. Gaddafi seeks only to enrich himself and his heirs. Lincoln detested the thought.

5. Gaddafi has killed thousands and thousands of innocent civilians as a matter of rule. Lincoln was known to have prosecuted his own forces to discourage the practice when it became known to him.

6. Gaddafi is a socialist, Lincoln was a true Republican.

7. Lincoln supended certain constitutional rights (ie. habeus corpus) for a relatively short period of time due to the war. Gaddafi has ignored the rights of his people for some 40+ years and enforces only those that are politically expedient to him at the moment.

8. Lincoln was a true believer in non-violent internal dissidence, Gaddafi crushes it with an iron hand.

9.Gaddafi’s wealth is estimated to be $70 billion, Lincoln died a relative pauper.

There’s more, but that’s a start.
