2.  Gaddafi had fewer than 4,000 victims? Color me surprised.
"Withing a few months the Allies have created more bloodshed, death and mayhem that the Gaddafi dictatorship accomplished in 40 years...."

Gaddafi had fewer than 4,000 victims? Color me surprised. (Unless of course you simplify need the melodrama to validate some implied point...)

I read as listed a minimum average of 15000 non-criminal victims since 1995 alone, and between the televised executions on political enemies, his statement that HIV is a "peaceful virus", Gaddafi appears to have done quite a splendid job on his own without the need for "war propagandists" to place the blame where it belongs.
