Ghadaffi planning to reject the dollar suddenly makes the US worry about the safety of Libya's citizens. The same way it cares about the citizens of Palestine, or Yemen, or...

Finally, Mehdi Hasan in his element. I rather see Mehdi discuss global issues, specifically the middle east than what Trump is upto in the next elections.

"When we intervene, something bad often happens; when we do not intervene, something bad often happens".

That is not true at all. When America intervenes, the things that happen are FAR WORSE than if it had never intervened. Also, even if we accept this statement to be true, what are the merits of intervention when something bad WILL happen either way? Why is there a need to spend billions of dollars only for something bad to continue happening? I should also point out that while Gaddafi had been seen as an enemy of the West, in his final years he had maintained a much more cordial relationship even so far that many countries like UK were negotiating various trade and other deals with him. I find it incredible that a serious effort was not made to attain a diplomatic solution. There are dozens of countries in which things are incredibly bad but America did not do anything to intervene in those countries (and nor should it ever do so!). North Korea's Kim Jong Un is far worse than Gaddafi ever was to his people but there is no US intervention? Why? Because North Korea is protected closely by Russia and China and because there are no oil reserves to gain from conquering it? It is the height of imperialism that America and its allies can do whatever they please and even change a country's government and bomb it to stone age without any regard for human life and no regard for taxpayer money being wasted on projects which only serve to increase hate for America and its allies.

Mehdi Hasan show about Gadaffi was gold

[Expatsunleashed]

The US military to protect civilians is like having Charles Manson as your baby sitter.

[afzalshaikh]

His hard-hitting questions would through anyone off. Remarkable.

[enonixt]

big oil companies of Uk and France needed monopoly over the Libyan oil so they made the move.period.

[geogman]

Lies and more lies: I was all about moving from the dollar to gold and consolidating African countries.

[DaemonJax]

My god, that old clip of Hillary Clinton reminds me why so many hate her. She did it to herself.

[dawitzewde]

Now, I start liking Mehdi Hasan SHOW!!! I'm so glad you're calling them out, bunch of war criminals.

[amilion]

In the name of protection, but destruction ..

[MuhammadIbraheemAsif]

Unlike many other interviewees he atleast admitted that disaster took place and admitted that policy

[moges]

Libya under Gaddafi was the only country in the African continent with no significant foreign debt. AmriKKKa look at your handy job.

[thehachwinik]

ironically, at the time, Mehdi Hassan advocated to overthrow Mu'ammar Al Qaddafi, now conveniently he forgets about it

[mahadjama]

Getting rid of monster is good, but what comes next is very important,

[mahdedarmo]

Libya is a more complex case than most: very little government to start with, geographically divided centers of power, self-interested authoritarian regimes as neighbors and a wildcard named Haftar

[zeeone]

A war criminal justifying his war crimes

[baruasafi]

These people have the souls of crocodiles and nothing else.

[williambailey]

Yes Mehdi Hasan a true work off art and professional he is the real deal and most of not all off the Republican right in the United States should all watch a real journalist work and I no it might hurt them but the truth always does Mehdi is not soft on ether side off the political landscape he drives for truth America is very lucky to have him here to show all off us on how it’s done.

[flyingsa]

I think it's really simple, don't fucking intervene.
