Gaddafi is the head of the state, and he is killing the citizens of his country. Why is it hard to understand he is killing his own people?

People there can deal with their own problems, nobody should involve, especially not the USA, because you already have a bad reputation. Everybody should deal with his own problems, I dont need anybody to solve my own problems.
Oh goody for you! Are you a Libyan, by the way?

What, they should just fling open their arms and be killed by their own country's army because they dared to peacefully protest?

It is a civil war,both sides heavily armed,why is the USA taking sides?

What side should we back in Iraq right now?
Civilians were killed there in protests.

The hypocrisy of people is astounding...
