Qaddafi was going to massacre his own people, he was a kind of animal
Not another mind-reader on this thread, PLEASE.
granada is right. Qaddhafi ordered his army to shoot Libyan civilians. About 75% of the army refused, desserted and linked up with provincial militias. Qaddhafi then ordered his southern mercenary army to carry out the killings. The mercenaries shot up a bunch of kids at a college, outraging the Libyan people.
The provincial militias organized and attacked Qaddhafi’s mercenaries.
A week earlier the men Libyan loyalists of the dictator and black African recruits had been landed at airports throughout eastern Libya and sent out into the streets to shoot protesters in a murderous rampage. They killed dozens before they were overwhelmed by anti-Gaddafi militias.

...and who instigated the violent ‘protests’? Why Hillary/Obama, of course.
So what was Qaddafi supposed to do at that point, sit back and enjoy watching his government be overthrown?
What I want to see is something from BEFORE our involvement, showing that Qaddafi planned to murder his people for sport, as you implied.
