I'll start it off with a classic:

It began as peaceful protest. The reason why it escalated was because Gaddafi slaughtered his own people.

Oh really?  I'm skeptical.  Anyway what else could he do with a load of Islamists?

Decide to not start killing them out of hand without provocation? (Also: Only some of the protesters were Islamists.)

Anyway, like Sol said, Cyrenaican autonomy is hardly an automatically bad thing.

Debatable given the values dissonance between even Muslim-majority states that aren't "Islamist" and non-Islamic states. Why are there more Islamic countries where women are mandated to cover their entire bodies and hold the status of property than where homosexual acts are legal, and why don't "moderate" Muslims take any vocal stand against this?

it usually goes without saying that the decision to get married is a bad decision.

I don't believe this meets the criteria for this thread.
