(8,954 posts)would have been far better off had Gadaffi remained in place and there was no western intervention.
The intervention was under false pretenses as was Iraq and Syria.
No way am I a supporter of Gadaffi. Plus I can never get straight the correct spelling of the dictator's name.
That said Libya had one of the highest and best distributed per capita incomes in Africa.
The intervention would not have occurred had Libya not had wealth to loot.
The idea that Libya would look like present Syria without intervention is a pants load.
The line items I quoted are a "perfected" slice of Libya and there is no doubt that the profile is correct, the line items are former Libyan initiatives that can be substantiated.
We handed over Libya to the radical Islamists whereby the older Gadaffi was making an attempt to better the country and cooperate with the west.
Latin America has been messed with for decades by the USA for business interests and to favor the white colonialists over the mixed, black, and native populations.
No where in Latin America now is the violent hell hole ran by radical Islamists or the like found in present day Libya.
Most common people in Libya just wanted to live secure lives in peace. I had Irish relatives that traveled there for years for employment.
You are not as smart nor clever as you present yourself at DU.
