In 1967 Colonel Gaddafi inherited one of the poorest nations in Africa; however, by the time he was assassinated, Gaddafi had turned Libya into Africa’s wealthiest nation. Libya had the highest GDP per capita and life expectancy on the continent. Less people lived below the poverty line than in the Netherlands.

Much like we did in supporting rebels that overthrew the government of Egypt and seem inclined to do in Syria. You would think that our government would learn. Brutal dictators seem to be all that can keep vicious Muslim tribes from slaughtering each other.
