the living conditions were low under King Idris ,
Actually, while corruption was always a problem, they used the new found Oil wealth to massively increase the living standards and urbanisation of the
country, along with a massive increase in the level of education.. They also had a constitution guranteeing individual rights, freedom of speech and
religion etc etc.
What did Gaddafi do as his first act after the coup? Got rid of all of that in one swoop.
Gaddafi and the RCC didn't stage the coup over a feeling of distributing the wealth better, they did it as a result of the Pan-Arab nationlaism
prevalent at the time, led by Nasser. Hence why Gaddafi pursued several wars with his neighbours over territory, formed the Islamic Legion and invaded
Chad and the Sudan, the latter leading to the formation of the Janjaweed militia in Darfur.

Unemployment is quite high in Libya under Gaddafi, so what's your point?

oh and the fact that King Idris wanted to install a american base in libya during 50s?
The US had the base there since the second world war, when it was originally capture by the British Army. So it took them 20+ years to get pissed off
with it?

These rebels aren't rebels they are hired mercenaries and oversea terrorists just like how america used the terrorists in bosnia.
I think you'll find it is Gaddafi using the foreign troops, such as Tuareg and Maritainian troops, plus other sub-saharan nationalities. The people
fighting in Misrata, Benghazi and other towns are the local people.

You have obviously researched nothing, or if you have, then it is from some definately dodgy sources.
