Kadhafi repressed his people for 40 years they say, and denied people rights that all people should have, in our view.
Under Kadhafi's rule, gasoline only cost 14 cents a gallon, and the government paid 50% on each citizens first new car. No one in Libya ever paid a light bill, because the government provided electricity at no charge. All education was free, and even college only required a small fee. Kadhafi had removed all nuclear programs from the country, along with all weapons of mass destruction, and he had chased all terrorist groups out of the country. Libya has no national debt, had no interest in fighting wars with anyone, and gave African countries low interest and no interest loans so they could improve their economies and move the people of Africa out of poverty.
Sure, there may have been some things that had to be tolerated under Kadhafi, but I sure would like to fill up my Buick for under $3, and never have a light bill. Ask how much our college grads owe in student loans when they finish school and start their career, and they would probably rather put up with Kadhafi than Obama any day.
If democracy and freedom come to Libya, it will be the first time in history that having a gang of 30 countries bombing and killing the people, destroying all the infrastructure, and decimating the country's military caused freedom. It seems like we and others are telling them that the will have democracy if they like it or not, because we are going to force them to be free.Reply
