believe the Libyan regime one of the worst in the history of Libya, I am appalled when I see the corrupt sons of Gaddafi throwing his threats against the people, as if Libya was a large estate owned and the Libyans were slaves. But this approach can not blind us, nor lead to communion with millstones, accepting without more, that is Western military intervention to defend the Libyan people.
The scene is repeated, a rain of American missiles falling on Libyan targets in parallel with an intense campaign manipulation, the same scenes reminiscent of the bombing of Iraq twice, the first under the guise of liberating Kuwait in 1991 and the second with the intention of destroying weapons of mass destruction exactly eight years ago.
Although understandable that the international community can not remain impervious to the massacres, without mercy, by the Libyan regime against its people, we can not but condemn the arbitrary and Western double standards in its military interventions to protect a popular uprising in one place, forgetting other Arab uprisings, even encouraged harassment of others. The U.S.
supported by France and England, with coverage of the Arab League and the participation of Qatar and the UAE, launched the first beating of 112 cruise missiles, from its aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean against Libya on the pretext of protecting civilians Libyans, but Libyans are they not victims of these missiles, or is that death and destruction is execrable in terms of its author?
Before anyone get me wrong, I remember that from the first day I stood beside the Libyan revolution, and I continue to stand with all revolutions Arabs believe the Libyan regime one of the worst in the history of Libya I am appalled when I see the corrupt children Gaddafi, throwing his threats against the people, as if Libya was a large estate owned and the Libyans were slaves. But this approach can not blind us, nor lead to communion with millstones, accepting without more, that is Western military intervention to defend the Libyan people. We sincerely believe that the real objective is the interest in the control of energy resources, if not, why is this suspicious silence and passivity, to the massacres against the people of Yemen?. The answer is clear, the Yemeni people, like the Palestinian and Lebanese people, it has oil and therefore not worthy of protection. We
overwhelmed with a feeling of anger and bitterness, listening to the secretary general of the Arab League, Mr. Amr Moussa to express their disagreement with the Western Allied bombing against Libya, saying that these operations beyond what is agreed to enact far-fly, with the objective of protecting civilians and not at the expense of destroying other civilians. Mr. Amr Moussa announced its support for foreign intervention in Libya, even before the meeting of Arab foreign ministers to agree a position on the issue, as is shown in his remarks to a German magazine. Did you try now Mr. Musa, passing the buck, download their awareness of the tragic consequence of their positions, hoping to finish his term in the League, to win the presidency of Egypt?.
The purpose of the no-fly zone to protect all civilians Libyan without exception, preventing the use of aircraft to terrorize the people and commit crimes, but the arbitrariness western states to limit its action to one side and not the other when it should give equal protection to all Libyan population. But the facts show that those who have been touched to be in areas controlled by the regime are considered evil and deserve death, in the eyes of the Western alliance.
We are witnessing an explosion of lies and manipulation, comparable only to that stage before the destruction of Iraq who carried out the powerful Arab media and international.
With astonishment we watched the planes while crushing regime of Libya's eastern cities, aircraft of the rebels doing the same on Tripoli, this begs the question whether the fly includes aircraft of the rebels.
not know how long it will last the regime, nor can we predict about their ability to resist, but what if you can guess that the challenge of foreign aggression, the Libyans will fight, like their brethren in Iraq, Somalia or Afghanistan, and that this struggle will not be in defense of the regime, but for the dignity and tradition of resistance against colonialism and the invaders, which violate the national dignity of this people.
What is happening now in Libya is a clear invasion to regime change by force is the same method used by the neocons, led by Bush. West thinks that the Libyan leader has expired, after being squeezed every last drop, and it is time to change or get rid of him, like any tissue, so popular rebellion took the benefit of it with handling . Did
West, represented England and the United States did not allow the rehabilitation of the Libyan regime after having paid U.S. $ 3,000 million, as compensation for the victims of Lockerbie and the entry of more than 200,000 million in European and American banks? Not released
Britain, who leads the attack against Libya, accused of being responsible for Lockerbie plane flight, in exchange for allowing the return of oil concessions in Libya to the company BP, in Libyan territory?. Did not Saif Islam Gaddafi the prodigal son that Tony Blair, the ideologue of the neocons, was a friend of the family Qaddafi, and who lived in her house family whenever he visited Tripoli?
hypocrites If Westerners are genuinely concerned for the welfare of the Libyan people, democracy and human rights, why not make the rehabilitation of Gaddafi to a democratic change of regime?
Once the dust clears from the bombing and see the reality on the ground, we may see a divided Jamahiriya, or "somalizada" even able to attend a civil war that will turn Libya into a state of frustration, as Somalia, Iraq or Yemen. Are possibilities that we do not want at all. But it is legitimate to raise those odds in light of past experiences resulting of all interventions in Arab countries and the Balkans.
Al-Qaeda, which so frightened the West, grows and develops in the territories of states frustrated, due to Western intervention. This ideology sprouted in the land of Iraq, Somalia and Yemen, thanks to foreign intervention, or the alliance of dictators with the West. Surely the leader of al-Qaeda is rubbing his hands, watching Libya disintegrates ripe fruit will fall into power after the West will prepare the ground. Anyway do not forget that this organization is on the lookout, with its branch in the Islamic Maghreb a step in Libya.
Western intervention in Libya will be bloody and uncertain outcomes. Losses in Iraq than a million human lives, following a similar intervention. Only God knows how many losses will lead this new operation, which proves that history repeats itself, and repeat the manipulations and lies.
