Was gaddafi death justified?

They say the so called rebels that over threw him were actually mercenaries and the real reason he was killed because he was going to trade oil in gold dinar rather than the dollar

I believe that is part of the reason. A new regional currency backed by hard assets would have created a problem for the Petro dollar hegemony..
Libya was actually a well run country, it's people were relatively happy with the government.
I believe that the overthrow of the country was instigated by French intelligence working with dissidents within the country.
The results have been a disaster for the Libyan people...
Kadafi posed no real threat to the region or the west that couldn't be managed.
