GeoPappas,

Being a supporter of 'terrorism' has never been a disqualification for receiving support from the West, at least not until we need to label some leader this season's Hitler. If Gaddafi had been 100% our SOB he could literally have gotten away with murder, like they usually do, until they outlive their usefulness. His primary 'crime' wasn't his support for terrorism, but that his terrorism was directed at the wrong people.

Remember we liberate, they terrorise??

Don't forget the West has done it's fair share of terrorising. One example, In 1898, Hawaii was annexed to the United States after Queen Liliuokalani was overthrown in 1893. This was brought about by American sugar interests who wanted to avoid the import tariffs.
