| @ckrubin: Also, because for all his tyranny and psychopathy and political flaws, Gaddafi actually did a good job of welfare programs to increase basic literacy, health care and other factors that contribute to a high HDI. Oil money does not always translate to high human development; in many cases in Africa it just stays in the leader's pockets. Gaddafi did keep a lot for his family, no doubt; but he did a hell of a lot for Libyans also. Just saying: the media often focuses on what they want to show you, ignoring other aspects. |
