Regardless of what happened in Tunisia or Egypt (ongoing it seems) there was no genuine people's movement in Libya. The majority did not support the uprising or it would not have taken so long. The people would have joined in everywhere. This did not happen. It would be over in 7 days not 7 months. This was a small number of anti-Gaddafi and Islamic fundamentaist types trained and funded by the US and UK primarily to cause destabilisation so as to over throw the legitmate regime in the interests of the west and its corporate interests. I am not going to say that Gaddafi was universally loved by his people but he and his Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya certainly had genuine majority support even if you find this hard to accept personally. During his time the vast majority of Libyan people benefitted greatly. King Idris did nothing for his country. What has happened to the Libyan people in the name of 'freedom and democracy' is a crime of historic proprtions. A travesty of justice. The west is the barbarian in this case and many others.
