    Okay so I’m not sure what you’re even talking about here. If your point is that internal repression is in any way comparable to armed conflict, then yeah no that’s just nonsense. I’m not defending Gaddafi here, but almost literally anything else would’ve been better than what Libya has right now. Unless you have a source that Gaddafi was somehow deadlier than the civil wars that took place after his NATO-backed overthrow, in which case go ahead.

      Ah, yeah… you’re correct. contextually, that you were referencing the civil war and the total numbers of dead, then yeah. (this was not made clear) The shitstorms thrown up since Gaddafi took power decades ago, then was overthrown - in toto, are huge. No argument on that.
