Mummar al Gaddafi . Was he really that bad or for most part he was a victim of a smear campaign?

Its been more than a year since Gadaffi was brutally killed. This question still divides public opinion. Where's some tow the NATO , US line that paints him to be an evil person, others like the noble laureate Mr nelson Mandela still speaks nicely of him.

What is the Vox populi?

Please indicate your nation for me to understand if that could be a basis for your political views. Any additional information for the basis of your thinking will be appreciated.

Update:

A history book for your opinion ? Amusing!

    The USA needs a bad guy to justify the defense budget. They make new ones up as fast as they can after one is killed.

    Qaddafi, Bin Laden, Noriega. The names keep changing to keep the defense nonsense going.

    Oh he was so bad that when he threatened the life of President Reagan, Reagan sent bombers to kill him from the air. They hit 2 of his palaces, but only managed to kill a wife and a child, or something like that. After that, the man shut his mouth for a good many years, then actually, before his death, tried to become a model world citizen, but it seems to been an act. http://www.realclearhistory.com/2012/08/18/when_re... I didn't read that. I just told it from my memory, so a fact or two might be wrong.
