Compare him to Al Capone and Idi Amin and you see a strange parallel to their actions..............

" The world is truly upside down."

It's the same people that took pride in rubbing shoulders with the Soviet elites. The CEO of Pepsi stayed at Breznev's dacha in the Crimea, something that even most of Breznev's cronies failed to achieve (incidentally, Pepsi was also all over the Arab world, which was quite fascist at the time; Coca Coal did not deal with either Soviets or Arabs). It is the same people that declared Hitler to be a charming man in 1930s.

Leftists hate Western civilization and celebrate everything and anything that opposes it, whether communists or third-world dictators.

The British never colonized Libya. The British and French governed it under a UN mandate for a few years after the war, but they were simply paving the way to independence.

To them, having a foreign power in charge of the country is the same as a colonial power. Think Judea and the Romans......

The only thing worse than this scenario is if Iran begins to fall. Ahmadinejad will have nothing to lose and unleash on Israel. And based on Obama’s reaction to Libya the most he’ll do is send Hillary to a meeting.

I did some googling and I think you have a point. The peace treaty with Italy wasn't signed until 1947 and it was vague about the disposition of the colonies except they would no longer be Italian. The question wasn't resolved until 1949 when the UN decided on independence. So, it wasn't clear right from the end of the war that Libya would be granted independence.

That’s all he will do. When everything collapses, blame Hillary.
They actually believe the UN can solve every crisis and world problem, merely with talk.......

Libya had to get independence.
It’s one of the countries mentioned as in existence in the end times prophecies, along with Egypt, Ethiopia, and Persia/Iran.......
