Libya is a country that has made much progress under Gaddafi. Libya during gaddafi's peaked at a GDP of 93.2 Bn! There was an increase in adult literacy from 40% to 88% and GDP per capita is currently at 17,000.
So my question is, why were the people of Libya so dissatisfied? What made the population go from loving Gaddafi to hating him so much? Some say that the United States somehow changed the perceptions of the population, it seems that the second the US is not pleased with a dictator they dispose of the him. Libya was a state that safeguarded its oil reserves and kept it from the prying hands of the Us. Look at monarchy in Saudi, it seems that as soon as the Saudis decide to keep the oil for themselves the US may decide to dispose of the 'dictatorship' there too.
