It was the United States, not all of NATO
It was because Gadaffi removed the Dollar as Libya's reserve currency and went back to gold
That's not even vaguely true. The intervention was initially carried by France, the UK, and Italy, with US involvement being initially secondary.
... yes, I'm sure that the real reason wasn't that Gadaffi was a longtime enemy of Western governments and a walking PR disaster who had provoked a massive rebellion against his rule that seemed poised to win (thus making it desirable for Western governments to speed the issue and curry favor with the winning side); it was that Gadaffi was stupid enough to make yet-another plan to damage Libya's economy. That was the REAL reason the United Snakes of Amerikkka had to assassinate him, or whatever stupidity is being passed around since the last time this game of "idiot telephone" occurred.
Yeah and Neither NATO or Just the US gave a shit about Hussein, or The Shah, or any of the human rights abuses perpetrated by their friendly dictators until they were a convenient excuse to remove them.
ring ring I think it's for you.
