According to them, what you have said is just not true. They say it was a civilian uprising due to the horrible conditions they had to live in, because of the regime... They could just be lying to me you know... Maybe the Americans told them to lie to their friend.
Perhaps but who knows the 100% truth? I don't. I don't claim too, I'm just throwing out facts.
When I see a country that gives people free health, free education, and free housing/electricity, they created a multi billion dollar water system to provide clean water to Libyans. I have to question when people say it's horrible conditions. That is all. I do my thinking based on these things. Based on what Libya was before the Gaddafi revolution... they are in paradise.
I have also seen YouTube videos of rallies with people FOR Gaddafi(much larger then the ones against him), so either both are lying, one side is lying, or both are skewing the reality. I don't know the truth, but I really am striving to figure it out.
Absolutes are a horrible thing, if more evidence comes my way that shows Gaddafi should have been taken out, then that is the stance I will take. Opinions and attitudes on subjects much be fluid and able to change with new evidence.
Here is something to ponder. If someone asks random American citizens about our leadership, you would get people who say they HATE Obama that he is a Muslim terrorists bent on destroying the US. So that is why I don't take witness testimony very seriously. If I don't see it, or cant make a logical conclusion based on facts that collaborate what someones claims to see, they I can't accept it as reality.
