Mummar Gaddafhi's Leadership Was A Net Gain For Libya And The World.

Thank you for accepting. I would measure the benefit of a particular leader or regime in the quality of life for the people for which that regime provides. If you value this as well, then Mummar Gaddafhi was truly a great leader.If you hold true that a nation which sends aide to others in need, frees hostages in a foreign land, and pays millions in compensation to those abroad to those who were harmed as a result of one of your ordinary citizens is a just and generous nation, then Mummar Gaddafhi was a good leader. I. The Improved Welfare Of The Libyan People: -Libya's rating on the Human Development Index sat above the average for the Arab States, the world or even the mark for High Human Development. -illiteracy rates in Libya have fallen from 61 per cent in 1971 to 14 per cent in 2001. As of 2005, the combined gross enrollment ratio for primary education stood at 95.9, thus ensuring that Libya is likely to achieve MDG Goal 2 within the 2015 time frame. (Human Development Report 2007/2008) -Undernourishment sat under at a mere 5%(lower then many capitalist countries today) -Free health care for all citizens -less Libyans under the poverty line then contemporary Socialist nations Vietnam and Laos, or for that matter Russia or the United States. "illiteracy has been almost wiped out, as has homelessness " a chronic problem in the pre-Gaddafi era, where corrugated iron shacks dotted many urban centers around the country." -Qaddafi lead in 1969 a bloodless coup that removed the corrupt and incompetent king Idris. -Gaddafhi built the "Great Man-made River" over the course of decades and was still in production and the time of his death. In Africa it is well known that there have been many issues with clean drinking water, this grand project brought water in from the Sahara and gave water to the thirsty metropolises on the Libyan coastline. http://libyadiary.wordpress.com... II. International accomplishments: -Aided Nelson Mandela and his efforts to liberate South Africa from the Racist Apartheid while France, Britain and the United States blocked UN action against the system. -Sent money and aide to the oppressed Palestinians and their fight for freedom, In addition he strongly advocated for peace in the region and the creation of a Democratic Isrealistine. This may seem like an empty gesture to some but The Arab League and The United States stood firm agianst any hope of such state and the bringing of peace. -Before Amnesty International took it down Mummar Gaddafhi won a worldwide contest for which humanitarian figure inspired them to care about human rights. Gaddafhi inspired thousands if not millions to take actions for human rights and helping one another. -Mummar Gaddafhi send money of his own design to the Phillipines to free hostages taken by foreign terrorists. -Mummar Gaddafhi stood before the UN General Assembly and demanded the equality of all nations and not the dictatorship of a few permenant members. -Mummar Gaddafhi's government payed millions in compensation to the victims of the lockerbe bombings which was caused by one of his citizens. When that citizen was released from prison and flown back to Libya he forgave him and greeted him like one of his own. -Mummar Gaddafhi agreed to help curb immigration of Africans into Europe(Particularly Italy) -Mummar Gaddafhi fought to transition Arab and African States onto a Gold dinar, what other world leader would stand against the fiat system and the domination of U.S. Dollar and Euro. These International moves are testimate to the millions abroad Gaddafhi assisted and the many more he inspired and gave hope to of a better tommorow. Brother Leader unlike many leaders after their regime collapsed died a martyr for his cause. Many flee and seek asylum, but Gaddafhi stood by Libya even after a wave of brutal and disgusting extremist uprisings. 1 million Libyans to this day are still scattered abroad, many still salute Gaddafhi. A few brave men fight on in the Chaos that is Libya today. To them and to all of us Gaddafhi is an international hero who provides an example of how one may live. Beyond his whimsical eccentricities we see a man on a mission for humanity and his accomplishments beneficial to all.
