I really, really wish that conservatives would wake up to what was, and is, actually happening in Libya.

Kaddafi was a typical mad dictator, who longed for power and recognition.

Years ago, Ronald Reagan called Gaddafi the "mad dog of the Middle East" and said that his goal was a worldwide "Muslim fundamentalist revolution."

Yes, that was true, BACK THEN. Kaddafi was not himself a Muslim fundamentalist, but he longed for power and glory, and at the time that seemed like the route to take.

Then Kaddafi was rejected at the Arab summit meeting in Saudi Arabia, because he turned up with all those uniformed girl guards. So he decided on a new plan for fame and glory: not Muslim fundamentalism, but union with black Africa. And also Bush leaned on him, and he agreed to give up his former terrorist proclivities.

So, yes, he was behind the Lockerbie bombing, but he changed his ways. He was never a terrorist, he was just a nutball who wanted power, honor, and glory.

What kind of Muslim fundamentalist would surround himself with pretty girls in uniforms, nurse's outfits, and modern western clothing, instead of burkhas?

The Arabs hated Kaddafi because he reached out to blacks and gave them help and jobs. Most Arabs think that blacks are only good as slaves. When the revolutionaries took over from Kaddafi the first thing they did was kill and imprison and torture all the blacks they found--something the press has mostly managed to cover up or underemphasize.

And notice that the first thing the new terrorist bosses did was to refuse to release the Lockerbie Bomber to NATO, even though NATO put them into power. Because they consider him to be a hero for killing all those infidels.

This war was fought on the wrong side. Yes Kaddafi was an insane nutball, but he was on our side at the time the French, British, and Obama decided to assassinate him and replace him with the Muslim Brotherhood.
