Dang, seems like a utopia. Why did Ghadaffi start killing citizens and why the internal revolt?

Don't forget who told you that he was killing citizens. Russia publicly claimed they did not see any such thing on their spy satellites, which I know also isn't a source you'd typically trust, but look elsewhere than news in NATO countries and you'll hear a completely different story.

Did you see the videos of the HUGE number of supporters compared to the "rebels?" Do you question why Gadhafi would supply his citizens with guns to defend the capital if they truly hated him? It's a lot easier to just listen to what you're told and believe it, but journalists unaffiliated with the handful of major news corporations have a vastly different story.

It's also worth mentioning that Gadhafi wanted to get a larger royalty for the oil and was also considering only accepting gold for it instead of the (worthless) world reserve paper (USD). NATO isn't allowed to intervene -- with one exception being genocide.
