Do some research and gather some facts then come back to debate when your ready.
Whoever they get to be their next leader will probably be alot kinder than Ghaddafi has been.
He has killed his own people, eliminated forcefully any political challenges to him, supported terrorism such as the plane bombing,
eliminated forcefully any political challenges to him
He also doesn't have near the support of the people you claim he does as the people there have lived under his regime of terror for a long time and know the truth.
There is plenty of video and eyewitness testimony of Ghaddafi attacking the protesters in his country and he has a long history of this so yes he does fit the definition of a terrorist.
That and he also has supported and agreed with other terrorist organizations in the past.
supported terrorism such as the plane bombing,
His release angered the United States, and his return to a hero's welcome in Libya was an embarrassment to the British government. Megrahi's survival has raised U.S. questions about the medical advice that led to his being freed.

You are getting hung up on this word terrorism which if you read back through the posts I was simply responding to someone who called the rebels terrorists. You may use any word you like but the fact is that Ghaddafi has not been a kind leader in any sense of the word.
He has killed his own people, eliminated forcefully any political challenges to him, supported terrorism such as the plane bombing, and a portion of his population have risen against him.
It would be foolish in my opinion for NATO not to try to capitalize on this situation.

1a) Show me evidence that he has killed his own people. Don't bother showing me evidence of Ghaddafi's forces killing rebels because that's not the same as killing civilians.
All people killed in Libya were killed by Gaddafi
