Libya
-
As a socialist liberal I do not believe we (America) has reason to be in any war/conflict. I'm against our involvement in Libya.
There is a lot of hypocrisy in all of this, Will we defend the people of Yemen, Bahrain, what about Zimbabwe?
I was against Bush for what he did as I am now opposing Obama for the same reasons.

How are they doing it over and over again when the most of the people are against it? People easy forget their government's wars when enjoying the war chase in their everyday lives...
But the bombed ones never forgets. -
Hungary is staying out of this European action now - not as if our forces were any decisive in any conflicts just it is Hungary's turn in the EU Presidency this half year. Interesting to see how our prime minister is trying to take part in the discussions while we are staying away from the conflict.
It is always a sad thing to see when a dictator turns against his own people and slaughters them. I know - we've had that, too (and actually we were waiting for or rather expecting or were looking forward to some western intervention in 1956 - as was promised and as we were encouraged - but fixing up the Israeli-Arab conflict and securing the Middle-East oil routes was again more important).

As a Marxist, I agree. However I don't condone the final assassination of Gaddafi either. I think that was wrong. He should have been arrested and then tried by a neutral court. The Americans (and British) were wrong to invade Iraq, but they acted correctly when they found Saddam down a hole and then arrested him. But they should never have handed him over to the resurgence. The Americans were also hypocritical when they found and then assassinated Bin Laden. They should have simply arrested him too.
America still has the death penalty, and were wrong to carry out two state executions recently- even if the accused had committed terrible criminal acts. Arab nations are often seen or described as brutalistic by the west, but the west can be just as brutal, but in a different way (see recent torture footage of Iraqis by both the British and the Americans), and I think as westerners, many of us find that hard to grasp or see.
It will be interesting to see what happens next.

Another democratic murder seen on TV...and all the western politicians (puppets) are celebrating!?...the one with the tail too...
This is sad and troublesome
...I think we all have to worry...and I pray that ordinary people in USA and other countries involved will wake up and say no to this kind of spreading democracy. -
Can anyone tell that this is not the truth?

Would the people in NATO countries to see these images, they could despite all the war propaganda understand that war by NATO, with a few as henchmen led, is not to the liberation of the people in Libya, but against the Libyan people and their legitimate government is.

Did you know about this ? The **Green Book**of Gaddafi
Muammar-Qaddafi-Green-Book-Eng.pdf
We are know claiming
Direct democracy
and he wrote about that : %(#008000)[is the
ideal method, which, if realised in
practice, is indisputable and noncon-
troversial.]

what on earth are we doing ????????????????????????

Green book...
More than interesting thinking in that it unites socialist ideas with natural laws contained in tradition and religion...not seen before...something I was just thinking about...the only right way to save the human freedom...the human soul...but how in practice to do it, not cleared to me. The goal is satisfaction of everyone's needs...and what about the need for domination? The book is very human, but too simplified in solutions. Thank you very much for this Juan! 
-
I don't particulary mind Ghadaffi is dead (I'd rather seen him sent to The Hague, though), but I'm quite sceptic with regards to Libya's future. I predict a wave of privatization.
-
Although I question the motives of Libya being singled out as a target for NATO intervention (oil, ya think?) while staying out of many other conflicts as pointed out, I wonder what the consequences would have been if NATO had not intervened?
-
The insurgency might have failed, I imagine. Many civilians would've died, and many others would've ended up in cells and/or torture chambers.
And the West would've missed a great opportunity to make lots of money.

worth a look -
So, Ben Laden was killed without a trial. Can you prove that he was killed or did not have a trial? Are you taking someone word as fact? Ben Laden was behind the killing of 3000 plus people in the World Trade Center. Did Ben Laden have then tried in a neutrial court before giving the order? What about the millions of people killed in Russia; where they given a chance to defend them selfs in court? Who in Russia tried to stop all that killing? It is easy to state what is wrong in the world; but in doing so, be prepared to state how to make things right in the world.
Do not state that you heard this or that you read that in this world; where it is difficult to obtain the truth of the matter. Is Gaddafi really dead?

Libya was attacked basically because Gaddafi was accused of killing his own people.
What the videos show is that those accusations were spread before they could be verified.
They state too, that Members of the Transitional Government were members of the Human Rights League that provided that information.
Does it sounds**Right** to you ?
And that is been said by Dr.Sliman Bouchuiguir, Libyan League for Human Rights, Switzerland
I agree with you that it is difficult to obtain the truth of the matter.
But I think you must admit this information.
