Libya is the #1 launch pad for refugees into Europe?

What?!

Um, in the first place, the asylum seekers are mostly from Syria, Afghanistan, Kosovo and Iraq, so it is unlikely they are fleeing so far to the west/southwest in their trek to Europe in the north.

But in the second place, even if they were, well, if Kadaffi was still in power in Libya, so what? He would either let them pass through to boat off to Europe, or he would slaughter them and they would learn to go around Libya.

Your post does not make a lot of sense as written. Most refugees into Europe do not cross the Mediterranean sea.
