You have to really look at history. Ghaddaffi was part of the mujahadeen initiatives. He then turned to support the USA even prior to 9/11. He fought the Jihadis in Eastern Libya and ruined their recruitment initiatives to recruit jihadi fighters for the war in Iraq.

Ghadaffi was a dictator, but one who was a devout Muslim , who was attempting to bring his nation into the modern era. Thats why he had a college of women body guard, its the only way that Libyan men would accept them going to college.

Yet most people swallowed the Obama propaganda about Ghadaffi hook , line and sinker. Look at what a Ghadaffiless Libya is like now? Economy in ruins. The bottle that is Africa is uncorked and the jihadists use his liberated military arsenal to wage jihad down into the heart of Africa, a thing that Ghadaffi had prevented, keeping the hert of Africa ( Nigeria, Chad etc)

And lastly Ghadaffi was greening the desert, in what was believed by Europeans to be an 8th wonder fo the world, so that food could be grown for the Libyan people.

You bet Ghadaffi was a good guy. The bad guy is behind the desk at the oval orifice of the White Hut. He is worse than Ghadaffi ever dreamed of being.

For an Arab leader, he was par for the course.

Ghaddaffi was a good guy?

Yup. He was overthrown for access to the port at Benghazi and because Italian and other banks were worried he'd take back the $200 billion or so he had deposited in the west. Libya had one of the highest standards of living and education in the world and a lot of westerners very happy to live and work there.
