Main reason to kill Gadaffi?

Or having a prosperous nation with free education, free housing and free utilities, and wanting to create besides the national interest-free money a gold backed international one had to do with it. AND the plan to drop the petro-dollar. Non-nuclear armed states cannot do neither, he and Saddam learned the hard way. RIP

The murders of Gadaffi and Sadam were state sponsored assasinations. It's that simple. And, the invasion of their countries was a crime against humanity. The terrorists who committed these crimes? The United States of America and it's middle eastern master: Israel.

Sane people want to throw up.

He was also on the verge of creating a North African common gold backed currency and abandoning the US Dollar as payment for oil within the new currency bloc.

Any country that dares go outside the US Dollar as the common commodity currency will be. 1. Labeled as a rogue state, 2. Sold to the world and the American people as a harborer of terrorism, 3. demonized, 4. isolated, 5. sanctioned.

To stop thread bombed down the row.

If Gaddafi was such a great leader, why did the Libyan people hate him so much? I think they may have liked him when he first took power back in 1969. His predecessor may have not been a very good leader and the people naturally assumed that whoever got rid of him would be better. People always make that blunder in revolutions. The same thing happened in Iran when the hated Shah was replaced by the ayatollah who turned out to be a dreadful tyrant. The Libyan people turned against Gaddafi when they realized that he was not their liberator but just another tyrant.

The same error may be repeated now, unfortunately. With Gaddafi gone, will another tyrant, probably an Islamic militant, replace him? Things aren't going too well in Iraq right now, and Libya may well follow.

Bingo

Yep.

You NEED to watch the video posted a few posts above yours. His people loved him! He travelled in the open and never had to worry about being assassinated. It was foreigners and CIA shills ths caused the rebellion.

That video is old news. I watched it, or a very similar one, last year. I'm not surprised that no-one dared assassinate him. They must have been terrified of what his henchmen would do to them.

Also, it's very easy to alter a video. You can't know what is being hidden by that propaganda piece.
