Much as I detest the Deep State, who were instrumental in the collapse of Gaddafi's regime and his subsequent murder, I absolute hate that man because of his support for the IRA (particularly the supply of weapons) and other terrorist groups (remember Lockerbie?).
Good riddance to a total piece of shit.
Libya had some of the benefits we can only dream of even now in The West so he was very good for Libya and Libyans. He also wanted to create an all-African currency and move away from the US Dollar. Obviously, that had to be stopped.
The Irish contingent in Massachusetts raised money for the IRA. I often wonder if any US taxes found their way into IRA coffers. If governments would stop sponsoring terrorism the world would be a better place. No ISIS, no Arab Spring, no coup in Uraine etc.
'Terrorists' don't come out of nowhere and are often a product of legitimate grievances. Gaddafi's real sin here is he didn't bend the knee to international capital and submit to being saddled by the Western establishment. Getting rid of governments like his helps our own oppressive rulers monopolize power against us ultimately.
Libya's support for the IRA was tit for tat. The British state, being a US lapdog, hated any government with an independent minded foreign policy or a national minded domestic policy. Which is to say this was essentially in response to British hostility over nationalization of British oil holdings and support for Israel and compliant Arab governments. Not to say I particularly favor the cause here but I do understand it and Western governments suck, even if Western peoples don't. Indeed, Western governments don't even care about their own people. In this case more Zionist Jews and oil companies.
