#4 The Duck of Death is conveniently omitting the fact that North Africans had terrorized Europe for centuries prior to colonization (Barbary Slave Trade, Barbary corsairs.)

In fact this threat was eliminated only when Western powers conquered the Barbary States.

After decolonization it didn't take long for Libya to revert to bad old habits. Not even 20 years after independence Gaddafi took power and the pirates were back.
