17. Deflection. I don't even know what you are referring to.

Stay with MY point.

Since around 2005, he destroyed his weapons of mass destruction facilities, helped the US in the fight on terror, and was accepted by the Bush admin, hardly the soft on terrorism bunch.

As for the country, it had the highest standard of living in Africa, before we bombed it into failed statehood. They constructed a massive water project that was on its way to making the desert bloom. We blew it to pieces - because Terrorism. He had accumulated gold to start an African currency (big mistake, crossing our banksters like that) - we stole it.

Why don't you talk about all the bad shit - on a nation-wrecking scale - that we have done to Libya in the last five years, as opposed to terrorist pinpricks (in the sense they had zero impact on the course of the world economy or the end of Communism) from thirty years ago?

The US supports all kinds of crappy dictators. Gaddafi was, by any standard, investing his country's oil wealth in things that were good for his country.

All you got is thirty year old stuff from before the end of the Cold War.
