Wow. I thought it was just a few months ago. Feels like it.
They still got that classy fist-and-plane statue I see.

Apparently it's become a monument to their rebellion, and the American flag was replaced.
I was in basic training when this happened and I didn't find out until months later, Steve Jobs too. It's weird finding out such important shit months late.
Seriously they don't tell you anything while you're there
Gaddafi should have remained in power if Egypt is to become another theocracy.

This was Iran before the islamic relolution in the 1970s. Now there is no protection of individual rights whatsoever. Now with Egypt's anti-blasphemy laws, it seems they may as well shut off their internet and phone systems in attempts to further drive themselves into a dark age.
afghanistan before taliban and russians was very much in line with the rest of the world in the 50s-60s.
Egypt is not going to become a theocracy.

Yeah, lets just not mind the totalitarian regime that was going on muting political dissent with weapons and torture.

I don't know why you're talking about Egypt, but the implication that women had a great time under Gaddafi is pretty wacky. Gaddafi himself [url=http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CCIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.theaustralian.com.au%2Fnews%2Fworld%2Fsex-slave-tells-of-gaddafis-sadism%2Fstory-fnb64oi6-1226479789315&ei=KKmCUKrGDaa00QWnsIGoBA&usg=AFQjCNE-t5_KUm1GEU-1bfsExtH-KgFqDA&sig2=dGiOww0cdC7vWtjtJ1O3xg]had sex slaves[/url] and personally raped scores of women while he was in power. Under Gaddafi's regime, [url=http://muftah.org/women-in-libyan-public-life-a-seismic-shift/]it was actually taboo[/url] for women to enter public life, because it would be assumed that Gaddafi was fucking them behind the scenes. Libya's new congress on the other hand has the same proportion of women as the US Congress, and the only party which would want to reduce womens' rights is the Muslim Brotherhood's party, which did [i]fucking terribly[/i] in the elections, getting just [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libyan_General_National_Congress_election,_2012#Results]10% of the votes[/url] to the liberal NFA's 49%.
And a few weeks ago the President of Congress [url=http://www.libyaherald.com/?p=15303]made a speech to the UN[/url], in which he outlined problems in the world that still need fixing:
[quote=Mohamed Magarief]We have made a lot of achievements and still have a lot of challenges, such as United Nations reform and disarmament of weapons of mass destruction; the reduction of poverty, ignorance and diseases, wars and armed conflicts; the fight against terrorism, and organised crime, and the preservation of the environment and achievement of sustainable development; [B]respect for human rights and mainly women rights[/B]; and ensuring the rule of law and the fight against racism, hatred and intolerance.[/quote]
It isn't sunshine and roses in the new Libya, as the [url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/9465130/Libyan-woman-provokes-headscarf-row-in-parliament.html]headscarf row[/url] during the handover ceremony highlighted, but I don't think a single woman in Libya would agree that "Gaddafi should have remained in power" or that they were better off under Gaddafi.

I seem to recall there was some sort of human rights investigation about how he was apparently raped with a knife when the rebels found him. Did that actually exist, or did I just imagine it?

Is that really rape, though? Or is it just stabbing someone in the ass?

Depends on where it goes in.

Libya is in no danger of becoming s theocracy.
Also the Shah was almost as bad a dictator as the Islamists are now.

If they were just indiscriminately slashing at him and he just happened to get a chunk taken out of his cheek then I'd let it slide, but he was restrained by some burly guys at the time. Whether or not it fits the definition of rape, they totally intended it to be.
