Don't even need a no-fly zone in Bahrain, the USA *supported* the crackdown because they're scared of Iran, it couldn't have happened if the USA acted like they did in Egypt with tepid non-support then opposition to cracking down. Syria is because Turkey is too buddy-buddy with al-Assad for NATO or the west to do anything, the Turks almost held them all hostage over Libya too but Gaddafi was too much of an asshole. Turkey was working hard to get him a free pass too, but he's too delusional and sent in the tanks right away.

Gaddafi supporters don't give a damn about Libya or Libyans, for them it's either being anti-west or because they benefit from Gaddafi being there (like the AU).
a westener critizing qaddafi

while they are denying hamas, hizbollah the islamic party that won the algerian
elections in the 90`s if yall care so much about lybians and other peoples democratic rights why deny the rights
of the political parties that are anti-west who won elections??
I recognize that Hamas won the election as did the Hizbul Islamiya in Algeria, barking up the wrong tree there
Obvious conclusion: I should be in charge
