The side of Gaddafi they are not telling us about

The media has successfully painted Gaddafi as a hard-core dictator, tyrant whatever you want to call him.

However, the media as usual has also failed to show the kind, giving Gaddafi we never heard of. Gaddafi unlike most dictators I will refrain from naming them has managed to show his humane side, the very side we dream of seeing in other dictators who just talk and talk.

I consider Libyans lucky to a certain extent and one wonders with the new democratic rule they cry for will it improve or worsen life for them. Yes, Gaddafi has spent millions of Libya’s money on personal ventures but is the average Libyan poor?
