The problem is they say in this things like "America provided Bin Laden with Al Qaeda" but there's no evidence, or proof for this. You can't just spout these claims with nothing to back it up with.

The origins of al-Qaeda as a network inspiring terrorism around the world and training operatives can be traced to the Soviet War in Afghanistan (December 1979 – February 1989).[76] The U.S. viewed the conflict in Afghanistan, with the Afghan Marxists and allied Soviet troops on one side and the native Afghan mujahideen, some of whom were radical Islamic militants, on the other, as a blatant case of Soviet expansionism and aggression. A CIA program called Operation Cyclone channeled funds through Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency to the Afghan Mujahideen who were fighting the Soviet occupation.
Operation Cyclone was the code name for the United States Central Intelligence Agency program to arm, train, and finance the Afghan mujahideen during the Soviet war in Afghanistan, 1979 to 1989.

Reminds me of this thread: www.abovetopsecret.com...
I won't pretend like I know all about Libya's history or how the country is/was run..
However, I have seen conflicting messages from Libyans saying he really was a tyrant who oppressed his people..
But just like the points you raised, I assume there were a lot of things that Gaddafi did that benefitted Libya.

Ever hear of something called Kent state? Where our military brutally murdered protestors? Most of what we heard about him was nothing but propaganda and the dumbed down American public lapped it up like a dog.

He was a REAL American.
