    For us - definitely better with Gaddafi. He was a bastard, but mainly a known quantity. He helped keep a lid on economic immigrants to South Europe.

    For the locals... probably depends on which group you're from. On balance, probably better with him - but it is a close call.

    The country should be recreated into the three different blocks - do the whole post-colonialism thing.

    An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.
