The killing of Gaddafi after his capture in Sirte, which was recorded on mobile phone cameras, has attracted international criticism.

It's hard to know what to think about Libya. But, some things are pretty clear. The role of the US / NATO was never about saving Libyans from a tyrant. It never is. It's about getting ahold of the natural resources, or gaining a strategic foothold in an area that the US hadn't previously been able to get access to. In the case of Libya, both of these were incentives, IMO. It helped that there was discontent about Gaddafi.
