Exactly. And that's what's gonna happen with all the Arab countries where there are revolutions and riots.

I'm going to, right after I finish my army service. There's no place for a game developer in Israel (one of my main reasons for hating Israel). Speaking of which, my mom told me a few months ago that I should start brainstorming for ideas if I want to make a unique game. Today I thought of a great idea for a game that might even speed up the process of restoring the popularity of platformers. It's a mix between a platformer and a tower defense game where you play the dark overlord, like Bowser or something.

Gaddafi died exactly 4 years ago on this day.

Since quite some time passed till last post on this thread, I am curious do people still think same about him when they compare Libya now?

Well I guess I was right:
Hunchman801 wrote:Gaddafi sure was a tyrant, but I fear that Islamists take over the country now, just like the Shah of Iran was overthrown by Khomeini, who turned the country into one of the most appalling examples of political and cultural obscurantism. The same threat weighs on Tunisia now that Ben Ali has left the country, on Egypt with Mubarak's resignation and possibly on Syria if Al-Assad loses too.

I think rebels should have known is that worse times would come if civil war starts than the times under previous ruler.

I am not going to defend any dictatorship but at least under Gaddafi, Libya was one of the richest African countries and it had many benefits like no electricity bill, free home, free car and ect.
It would be way wiser if Gaddafi stopped ruling some years after he made concept of Jamahiriya. But I guess that hunger for power eventually lead to both his demise and demise of his country.
