There was once an article on the web in which Gaddafi said 'What have the arabs ever done for us?' He made it clear he regretted having assisted them with funds and equipment, he said he was through being used. That article has disappeared, of course. Then there is the video, and recently I read that it's now doubtful he had anything to do with the Lockerbie disaster. How much cover did that receive? I think it's clear he was unwise to assume he wouldn't be one of the first to be assissinated, but first he had to be demonized. As Melosovich also was. It makes me wonder about Saddam. Mubarak was a b*stard was he? Assad? And now it's Putin, how dare he station troops at the border - while the muslim Tartars, fighting on the side of the 'rebels' in Syria threaten to return to Crimea if NATO doesn't assist the Tartar muslims to achiever their autonomy. What does NATO and the UN think we are? Idiots?
We are NOT arabs, I heard Gaddafi say years ago. I think he might have meant we are not members of the Muslim Brotherhood. That would be why the country was destroyed and he was slaughtered like an animal in public.
NATO was created a half century ago solely as a defense organization during the cold war, that if one country within the organization was attack all the other country in NATO would pool together against the attacker. NOT to FIRST be an attacker of any nations, therefore attacking Libya was/is illegal
