    We were allies of Gaddafi, we broke our pact, attacked him and allowed his murder. He may not have been the best ruler, but the country was stable. Look at Libya now and tell me whether they are doing better than before.

    They were not in civil war; they had protests and the government had strongly repressed the protests killing people. Protestants formed and uprising and there intervened EU countries.

    This was not against international law, but we did attack an ally of ours, which does not speak very well about the reliability of European countries.

      Not in 2011 it wasn’t. And the assassination of Gadaffi was 100% on USA.
