we should've just Gaddafi enslave thousands of women in his harem \s. You should read the book 'Gaddafi's Harem: The Story of a Young Woman and the Abuses of Power in Libya' before going around spreading hate and supporting cruel, inhuman dictators.


Actually it shouldn't be your concern what he did in his own country.

Like it's not anyone's concern that say the US puts the largest number of its citizens in jail (25% of the worlds inmates for a country with 4% of the world's population) and of which the predominant number are black.

I mean it should concern people all over the world, and they should ask and lend support and diplomatic pressure to change that, but they should in no way interfere with internal politics, invade or attack the US for that. And that's something that hurts far more people (millions) compared to "some thousand".

Besides, what have you accomplished now? A hell hole of a country, an ex-country, with fractions fighting from several competitive sides, millions flying and hundreds of thousands dead. Yay for getting rid of the dictator, sure turned out well. And the place is a paradise now for the sex and slave trade.

Not to mention the hypocrisy of it all. Those decisions to support the rebels in official capacity wasn't because anybody really cared for the regime's victims. After all they always did and continue to do great business and have cordial relations with Saudi Arabia (how do local women fare there legally? Or search about what happens to thousands of immigrant women coming to work there as house servants etc.).

It pays to think about such events beyond what the mainstream media and the official government announcements say. Read some books, and not just celebrated books that maintain the official party line of one's government, try to find the other side's story too. And historical books, for such regions, to get perspective.


>before going around spreading hate and supporting cruel, inhuman dictators.

I'm doing what now?

BTW: Western countries didn't give a fuck about Gaddafi's human rights violations (except from condemning them verbally) until he started to lose power. Then suddenly they decided they should invade Libya.

Of course Libya has a lot of oil reserves, so this is to be expected. Can't bite the hand that keeps your economy running...


Human traffickers are very grateful for the bombing of Gaddafi. Now, no one is stopping them from sending too many people to their new grave in the Mediterranean sea.
