Khadaffy in his day was a vile evil player.  He deserved what he got.

The problem for the West is that he had mellowed over time, and what he was replaced with won't.

There are times in life when we wish for things to happen, and when they have we look back and realize we didn't quite understand the full dynamics before things became suddenly worse.

I don't believe the region has suddenly been rescued.  Instead I think the region has suddenly receded into darkness.

Arab Middle East leaders are tyrants. It’s the nature of the beast in that part of the world. Best they be the ones that are on our side.

It’s because muslim culture, religion, and society DEMAND A TYRANT. Otherwise ISIS, and other groups start cropping up. What worries me, is what will happen when they get together.

The only way to rule a muslim populace is by force, intimidation, and fear. I am convinced there is no other way. So we got rid of Saddam, Gaddafi, and trying to get Bashad. They were corrupted dams holding back the flow of what unchecked islam does.....breeds, conquers, and kills.

At least. In my opinion.
