As NATO continues combat air patrols until all Libyan government forces surrender, and Muammar Gaddafi's days in power now appear numbered, some say the NATO is hunting for the wrong man.
“Mr. Gaddafi was a dictator, but he was a benevolent dictator, whether you like or dislike him,” said French journalist and blogger Moe Seager. “And he gave millions to black African health, educational and agricultural projects.”
“He is remembered for doing that. He is not seen black and white as he is seen in the West, by his former supporters from the West,” Seager said. “The black African population, particularly in Chad and way down to South Africa, thinks that he made major contributions for the advancement of education, healthcare and agriculture in Africa.”

Mr. Gaddafi is one of the good benevolent person when it comes to help out Africa countries.
You should also remember other less wonderful deeds in 1970s and 1980s, that maybe make you realize why some countries were keen to pay him back when they could.
1) the useless, aggression Toyota War in Chad
(that involved France and inclued a bomb on a civil plane)
2) Hosting, training and sponsoring of
anti-West terrorism of all colors (esp. Carlos the Jackal).
3) Acts of terror like bombs on airplanes (Lockerbie)
or in Discos (Germany), and random shootings (London Embassy)
There was a time in which he was the face of international terrorism and in which he was the enemy n1, much more than Saddam later. You can find plenty of it on his Wikipedia PAge or just Googling around.
Guys, America's involvement in Iraq, Europes involvement in Libya - these are not about democracy, its all about greed and who gets to control the oil fields. Its all that simple.
When a country uses deadly force to remove another country's leaders, that's called terrorism. What America and Nato have done so far is nothing short of terrorism and America and it's allies in Europe are now considered terrorist countries and are now fair game for all to strike at.
