Because you also went to Libya yourself right? Yea didn't think so, quit the b.s man over 5 million Libyans loved him for the prosperity he brought to the country... All the woman loved him, free education free health care, cheap oil, life was great until the rebels turned up to ransack the place.

'The rebels acted on their own accord'
No, the 'protestors' acted on their own accord. The rebels were a vehicle with a purpose all of its own.

Celebrate is the wrong word. However, i am glad that he is dead. Shoot at me all you want but i have spent time living in Libya. I have seen first hand the effect he has had on the people living there. I know many Libyans who have had relatives disappear over the years (and still no idea what happened to them or where they ended up).
So, to be honest, you can peddle whatever pro Gaddhafi nonsense you wish but those of us who have seen it firsthand will be glad that it is over. I have said this in other Libya threads: the looks of terror on the faces of some people i have been talking to over in benghazi when they notice police spotters watching them talking to a westerner is something that i never forget.
Neither is the sheer pleasure some of them that i am still in contact with have now that they control their own system.
Also, whilst his economic policy of basically doing away with the old currency and giving everyone 1000 dinar was good in principle, i can tell you from first hand experience that it wasn't particularly popular in Libya and actually caused an awful lot of problems for an awful lot of the people.

Yes, imagine a United States of Africa and the combined wealth that would provide along with the stability and lessening of the starvation and disease throughout Africa.
Imagine the consequences for the Western World if he succeeded with his plans to unite Africa.
