People seriously think Libya was just sitting there minding its own business until Obama decided to invade it. Qaddafi was starting a civil war because he was terrified of his own Arab Spring moment, he had soldiers open firing into crowds of protesters, he was indiscriminately bombing his own cities, death squads were rounding up and executing people. The Gulf states sent soldiers in to support the rebels against him and they requested NATO support, which we provided. We never invaded Libya, and Qaddafi chose his own fate. It’s so insane how people compare it to Iraq.
