re: #41 Desmond

I would have done precisely nothing. Gaddafi was the better option in Libya then and also now. Propaganda about how he was going to massacre Benghazi was exactly that, propaganda, eagerly swallowed by the clueless media.

Was it just “propaganda” when Gaddafi’s army opened fire on protesters and killed hundreds of them in Benghazi? The fact is that there was an uprising against Gaddafi within Libya that had nothing to do with Hillary Clinton’s policies. You may say “doing nothing” would have been better, but to imagine this would have resulted in Gaddafi staying in power is just a fantasy. He was on his way out due to the uprising, no matter what Western powers did. Both sides in the Libyan uprising engaged in propaganda, but to argue that this meant nothing was really happening and Gaddafi could have stayed in power is foolish.

And again, you’re blaming Hillary Clinton solely for actions that were supported by NATO and the International Criminal Court; at least 30 nations voted to recognize the rebel faction as Libya’s official government.
