COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY JONATHAN FREEDLAND IN THE
GUARDIAN
Someone styling himself "sidinthecity' has written a
particularly obtuse comment featured here as Guardian Pick.
Gaddafi ran a decent government for decades. No African or
Middle Eastern leader did as much for his people - everything from heath care
to education free for all out of those oil riches.
Yes, he fell out of favor with Washington, but it was not
about being a tyrant. Washington loves tyrants, but they must be tyrants who
side with Washington, as in Saudi Arabia or Egypt.
Washington deliberately upset his government, pumping in
weapons and financing gangs, and then, in the chaos which ensued, it bombed the
crap out of Libya and had Gaddafi assassinated.
Its net product is a previously peaceful and prosperous
country reduced to ruin and primitive tribal warfare.
Anything, literally anything, would have been better than
that.
In his last days, perhaps many will not know, Gaddafi asked
what they were doing trying to destroy his government. He said it was a wall
against massive African migration into Europe.
And he was right, as he was on a many matters. No matter
what anyone says of him, he was intelligent and thoughtful.
But in America's New World Order, there is no room for independent-minded
leaders.
So bloody Obama and bloody Hillary destroyed this perfectly
stable and in many ways good government.
That gave Hillary the opportunity for her Benghazi heroism
and for sending arms scattered all over Libya and for maniacs scattered there
too to be inserted into Syria to destroy another stable and fairly decent
government.
