Gaddafi was a good ruler. The West want him out of the way so that they can take the gold he accumulated instead of the worthless dollars he refused to accept. They also want to control his oil. Make no mistake all these middle East revolutions are supported and organised by the Elite Illumniati ZIONIST Banksters who don't give a stuff about anyone including the Israelis whom they use as disposable pawns.

Uhh, no; And no, no, no, and no.
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
Orwell would lose his shit if be saw the modern Conspiracy Theorist's revisionist doublethink.
Clue: Khadafi was NOT a good leader. He was a awful dictator who denied his people even the most basic human rights, then started slaughtering them when they protested. If he's your idea of a good leader, I'd hate to see your idea of a bad one.
Yeah, they probably do want his oil. Not sure if he has any gold outside his teeth, though; and if Libya was 20 feet deep in oil, that still wouldn't make Gaddafi a nice guy, or even a marginally sane one.
If Gaddafi were a good ruler, then how come he supported terrorism and had an insane cult of personality and had all the hallmarks of a dictator? If it were up to me, he and every other leader in the Middle East and North Africa would have been tried for crimes against humanity and then summarily executed.
But, since I'm feeling rather vindictive today, I'm gonna do a variation on the usual "fixed it for you" meme. Pay attention, fellow commenters, 'cause this is directed at you.
"Castro was a good ruler. The US want him out of the way so that they can take the gold he accumulated instead of the worthless dollars he refused to accept. They also want to control his country to protect their interests at the expense of the Latin Americans. Make no mistake all these Latin America revolutions are supported and organised by the Elite American corporations who don't give a snuff about anyone, including the terrorists whom they use as disposable pawns."
Honestly, I will never understand why Europe and elsewhere seem to love Castro so much, or say that the US treatment of Cuba is unfair. Apparently just having a universal healthcare system is reason enough to ignore all the oppression that goes on in that country. It's extremely hypocritical of you.
Brendan Rizzo, you're suffering from the same absolutist thinking as Emanuel V. One can dislike U.S. foreign policy without approving of Castro's regime. The U.S. really did back a lot of wretched dictators for domestic corporate benefit; read up on the Dulles brothers and United Fruit, why don't you? Pinochet and the Contras are further examples of American willingness to wink at atrocities so long as they weren't committed by "leftists."
For that matter, Castro himself is an indirect creation of U.S. bumbling: against what would Cubans have rebelled, if we weren't propping up an incompetent dictator while we looted the place? And Castro would have had a lot more trouble tamping down internal dissent if he didn't have the excuse of fighting imperialist bogeymen.
To be honest, most probably the only reason "the west" is supporting the rebels, as opposed to every other civil war in Africa, is because Libya is an oil rich nation and the new government's bestest buddies will get first dibs. It wouldn't be the first time. That said, Zionists would be much more interested in fermenting dissent in, say, Syria and Egypt than in a nation that didn't and doesn't have much to do with Israel. But then this isn't CTSTDT for nothing.
Very true, aaa; I figured that went without saying, due to our longstanding backing of such. That's the situation in much of the Middle East even now: would we back the Saudis and Saleh if they didn't toe the anticommunist line? Would we have abetted the Shah's cruelty if he hadn't stood for "westernization?" Not only did they have to have oil, it had to be non-commie oil.
@ Lucilius:
Well what do you suppose we should do about it? I'm not ignorant of America's "What the Hell, Hero?!" moments by a long shot, but considering all the pro-Cuba sentiment in the comments to another quote here, I think that this had to be said.
Massacre your own citizens when they disagree with you oppressing them. Now that's a leader we Teabaggers can get behind!
Anyone else get the feeling that when the Tea Party movement is done and gone, we'll be using the word "Teabagger" in the same way people used the word "carpet-bagger" back in the 18th century?
Okay then, we got elites, illuminati, zionists and bankers. Are we missing any groups? Any other organizations who want in on all the gold and oil?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
