(570 posts)Of course they were part of Arab Spring!!!!! Arab Spring began in Libya while it was still happening in Egypt. It's just that Qaddafi managed to control the communications enough to keep word from getting out. As a result the first real word the rest of the world heard was when the Egyptian soldiers on the Egyptian/Libyan border woke up one morning to find their Libyan counterparts gone.
You wish the Libyan government had forcefully prevented the violence that ensued? I am going to assume that you're simply uninformed. The only other conclusion to be made with a statement like that is that you're a troll.
Who the fuck do you think was committing the violence in the first place? Qaddafi was a psychopathic tyrant who was slaughtering his own people. People were being executed for no reason or for some delusional reason only in Quaddafi's head. Many bodies weren't even buried, but strewn along the roadsides as a warning to others and to deliberately create terror among the people. He was brutal, violent, and raped hundreds of women who he bought or just ordered brought to him.
Next time check your facts and stop watching Fox News!
