The US government got involved because the Arab Spring presented an opportunity to get rid of Gaddafi and Al-Assad...
They never gave a fukk about the Lybian and Syrian people...
and what exactly is wrong with Assad and Gaddafi behaving violently to put down a group of domestic terrorists that chose to oppose them violently?
In Gaddafi's case the opposition was a minority, the majority of his people actually liked the guy and for good reason...Lybia wasn't some oppressed backwards shythole like Afghanistan...Public education in the country was free and medical care was available to the public at no cost...Under Gaddafi, per capita income in the country rose to more than US$11,000, the fifth highest in Africa...The majority of his people, were living good, just look at pictures of Lybia before the war...
So what was Gaddafi supposed to do when this minority opposition tried to divide his country with violence? Tuck his tail between his legs and give into terrorist demands?
