Libyan rebels will soon understand

I have never been to Libya and have not studied about this country very much. However, I had the opportunity to talk with many people who stayed in Libya for a few years. I found that everybody was highly impressed with the leadership of Gaddafi. Libyan people, who supported the rebels, will soon understand what blunder they have made by removing Gaddafi. Libya had nothing before Gaddafi took charge. Gaddafi may not have been elected by the people but he has ensured food, housing, education and medical facilities to all the citizens which most of the governments (even the so-called democratic, but corrupt governments) failed to give. Western world needs both Libyan blood and oil. They got the first one and will get the oil soon. The world is for mighty people and not for the good people at this moment.
It's worth mentioning that during 1964-1985 when thousands of people had been starving to death in Ethiopia, European Economic Community destroyed fruits worth billions of dollars, instead of giving them to those starving people. Is not Gaddafi much more humanist than those European leaders? At the same time, I express my respect to the European pop singer Bob Geldof for raising money for those hungry people. It appears European leaders have learned nothing good from Bob. I feel pity for such looters when they talk about human rights.
