Really? Did he starve his people or just his enemies he was fighting militarily?
Especially after the US banking economic crises 2008 ff. where he lost billions and additional economic sanctions?

He had oil. Extracted by foreign companies so he didn't need his people. Still Lybia was the most developed land in Africa, according to the UN.

Ghadafis death in 2011 caused by foreign "intervention" caused a civil war in Lybia that may stop about now, with elections planed for 2018. But it still has cost more lives then Ghadafi.

Ghadafi may have been a dictator, but as far as those guys go, he was one of the best in regards to the people of his country.
