On the topic of Freedom and Democracy.....

[Ham701]

I was looking at some YouTube videos on Gaddafi being killed, and I noticed something wrong: Some of these have 50% dislikes. Why, you may ask? Those damned politicians think Obama's a dictator.

[Almighty Benny]

I think (or at least I hope) the dislikes are in response to the glorification of his death, not simply the fact that he was removed from power.

Same reason we buried the footage of Osama's death and discreetly dumped him in the ocean.

[Ham701]

No, they're saying things like "In 2012 your reign will be over Obama" "What if the people of Libya don't want freedom and democracy?" and the likes.

[Almighty Benny]

Oh ok, 42 years of indiscriminate snuggle and murder of the civilian population was just fine before Obama stuck his big Muslim nose all up in their bidness.

I'm sure they were doing swell with their limited infrastructure improvements while the dictatorship was raking in huge oil money. Meanwhile the general population was free to enjoy having the least economic freedom of any country in the middle east, whereby it was almost impossible to start a small business or even take out a loan. But who needs credit besides Americans anyway?

Libyans didn't want jobs or land, they needed sanctions and taxes. God help them now that they've overthrown the corrupt regime that provided the average Libyan with such a high standard of living

I'm detecting some bias here. Is it possible being a liberal American all your life has skewed your views on foreign politics?

[Almighty Benny]

Quite possible, as I tend to stand in opposition to any leader that tries to control all of his nation's wealth and property, and who prevents those that would stand in opposition to his ruling from getting an education if not murdering them in public. But that's just like, my opinion, man

[piltogg]

he did write the green book you know. Gdahfi was the closest person to the illuminati's NWO ever. Still not very close though..

[Ham701]

[stubby]

Oh come on. Practically everybody's written a green book at this point.

Gaddafi was an asshole. Now that he's dead, people figure that it's their job to stick out by putting a dick in his dictatorship, since he clearly never had one when he was alive.
