*A different spin, can only think the banks were pissed off because they 
weren't getting a big enough share

    *Zimmetro* — 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? We know others who
    take a country and destroy it until you feel like there is no hope
    of restoring this country… looting some prefer to call it. Did
    Gaddafi loot Libya in any way? Now let us get to the unknown facts
    about the Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi: Description:

    parents would not get a house until everyone in Libya had a home.
    Gaddafi’s father has died while him, his wife and his mother are
