Reply #4: Caveat: I am less a Gadaffi supporter than the USA

[PufPuf23]

under Bush and Obama since 2003.

I thought the UN resolution was to protect civilians?

I would assume this to include thoise that liked the stability provided by Gadaffi.

Gadaffi has done better for Libya than the success of most African nations.

Gadaffi was not kind to his enemies and akin atrocities have not ocurred in the USA since the genocide of Indians and slavery.

But we sent rendition flights to Libya.

The rebels may not even be the democratic faction of Libya as most stay home and out of the wayin conflict, the stability of Gadaffi may be preferable to a majority but that is gone forever.

One would have to be naive to not realize the USA / NATO covert interference in Libya for decades.

Gadaffi is a target because of the location, natural resources, and that his regime has been relatively successful.

Relations and trade had been normalized since 2003 when Gadaffi signed on for the War on Terror.

I worry about what is going on in Egypt as well under the military.

Maybe Libya will be partitioned or be a failed state for a generation?

Maybe NATO or Egyption ground forces will force the issue?

I really do not have the knowledge but the narrative stinks. People do not want war nor political violence.

Libya is lose-lose and NATO is win-status quo-lose. In any case, misery for the average Libyan.
