About Gaddafi

Depends on what you think the borders should be. Even though I was no fan of Gaddafi, I liked that he embarrassed the Arab leaders in this. Perhaps does this mean that Gaddafi acknowledged Israel's right to exist?
They all seem to laugh him off in a sort of, "You're telling us exactly what we already know, " way.
His emphasis on Arab-cooperation dwindled near the end of his life and he focused more on Pan-African unity.
His legacy, a cellphone video. But why do we forget that it was NATO that killed him?

It seemed more like everyone hated what he saying to me.

Qaddaffi was always kinda crazy....

NATO didn't kill him, they tried in the 80's but failed. His own people killed him.

They didn't try in 2011?

They tried, but they didn't end up doing it. It was his own people who killed him.

You are correct, and I tried to allude to the killing when mentioning a particular "Cell phone video". But I would have to hand ultimate responsibility to NATO for commencing the attack. It was reported the day he was killed, that a NATO airstrike attacked his convoy. Conveniently, the attack was adjacent to approaching militia and destroyed or halted Gaddafi's vehicle entourage. His capture was guaranteed.
If an elusive antelope is critically injured by an lion, should the lucky scavenger get much credit for the kill?
I think that is a metaphor even a crazy old zombie Gaddafi could understand.
