Believe me, that would be a very tall order because actually, whether you like Gaddafi or not, Libya, by all appreciable standards, had the highest standard of living in Africa, under Gaddafi. If western-style democracy was a yardstick for determining developmental success, Ghana, Nigeria and other countries in Africa would not be in their present predicaments. Let's take a look at some of the comforts and benefits Libyans enjoyed under Gaddafi and draw our own conclusions.
When Gaddafi took over, Libyans had an average annual income of about $60. His government brought Libya from poverty and debt to prosperity and debt-free status Education from the kindergarten stage through college was free. Health care was free as well. Under Gaddafi's oil-revenue-sharing program, each Libyan had $500 (five hundred US dollars) deposited into his or her bank account each month. After marriage, each couple was given as much as $60,000 (sixty thousand US dollars) to spend. Libya gave free land and seeds to anyone who wanted to take up farming as an
occupation.
Water and electricity were free in Libya. Petrol/fuel was sold at 75 cents a gallon under Gaddafi. There was virtually no homelessness as everyone was given a home. Undernourishment in Libya under Gaddafi was as low as 2% - a figure lower than that of the world center of "democracy," the USA. For any medical care or health treatments that were unavailable in Libya, the Libyan citizen's full expenses for travel, treatment and accommodation to wherever was required for treatment were borne by the Libyan government. Before Gaddafi, literacy in Libya was only 10%. Under Gaddafi's leadership, literacy has risen to over 80%. Unlike some Arab states, women in Libya under Gaddafi had equal rights; not only as a philosophy, but in practice......

loves a good OWO, the NWO is just a marketing ploy, these sick fukcs have been around in some capacity forever doing the same garbage...
Fear or self interest (or the belief that supporting it will protect ones self interest), keeps the vast majority bowing, lock-stepping, duck-walking... Right along....
Sad their is no denying IBM got it's start creating the "business machines" that helped Hitler more effectively exterminate the Jews.... IBM very much an American company, so why does that symbol of material support of mass murder even still exist?.....
Makes no sense, and they're yet to expunge the fact that many key American corporate supporters of Hitler, faced the remotest sanctions for providing support... It's disgusting....
But no, nobody reads those history books... Or sees that in fact almost all the wars were started or at least instigated by greedy people wanting more money...
To bad people don't even see he, much like many are today, are puppets of much more powerful self interested entities that make the figure heads personal evil capacity underdeveloped at best...

Of course the secret prisons, torture of Libyan citizens, and systematic repression of all voices of dissent were also raised to the highest levels available to modern countries. Heck of a job, Gaddafi!

Don't quite know what to say about this one except that when you support terrorists and terrorist acts (which have been proven, not speculation) you will make many enemies that have the power to destroy you. In fact, it's likely he would have been deposed long ago if Europe didn't have such close trading ties with Libya.

Hundreds of millions of people, the world over, look at Americans as terrorists and view many of their actions as terrorist acts (which is also very well documented).......please keep that in mind.
It is in no way to be construed as an excuse for any initiated act of violence (no matter the nationality of the perpetrators), but only to serve as a warning that good intentions are always in the eye of the beholder and subject to interpretation.
