You're right, we should have let Gaddaffi literally drop bombs on his people because they were peacefully protesting. Sure, tens of thousands of civilians would have been slaughtered, but at least things would be stable.

Come on, 'peacefully protesting'?  Sounds dubious to me.  Seems like I recall a civil war.

It began as peaceful protest. The reason why it escalated was because Gaddafi slaughtered his own people.

Oh really?  I'm skeptical.  Anyway what else could he do with a load of Islamists?
