He will go down in history as a martyr forever. In a thousands years Libyans will still remember him as the liberator and founder of their nation. Will anyone remember Obama or Cameron in a thousand years? I doubt it.

Libya is either getting partitioned or overtaken by the Muslim Brotherhood, who hated him anyway and will make sure to destroy his name, anon.
Current forces in Lybia basically go:
Muslamic Rayguns: Most troops and popular support, but no foreign support.
Former military who betrayed Gaddafi: Second most popular and supported by Putin, so no Western country will ever recognize this regime as legitimate.
Western puppets: No popular support, but lots of oil and business ties.
As soon as the 70 year old mummies of the Putin-backed side die of old age, Libya is done for.

You seem to have forgotten the slave dungeon where he raped countless of his own people, parading them as his bodyguards while getting off to their torture and eventual killings. Ntm what he did to his own people who criticized him

America has so much blood on their hands and still consider themselves the good guys.
They can defend themselves and shit but they shouldn't call themselves the good guys. That's just plain wrong
>>
yeah, it's the story of a lot of regions in the world. We are through with the age of colonialism, yet any leader that goes against the interests of the world powers is deposed. Although Gaddafi did his own shit to speed it up, there are countless instances of it happening
Kind of amazing how we consider "them" (19th-20th century humans) as another species. We are the same people who genocided for loot

reminder that lawrence of arabia and humphrey were two british spys sent to destabilize the muslim world by forming an alliance between america and saudi arabia.
They were successful and 84 years ago the saudis became the greatest allies of america. Ibn saud was the americanophile that started it all.

His female ""bodyguards"" were all raped and killed by the Western-backed rebels after he was killed, though. That is just Muslims for you.

Being a good ruler is not just about furthering your own interests, but about furthering your own interests while making it seem like you are looking out for everyone else.
