Disclaimer & comment rulesIn name of democracy freedom human rights 50.000 people died in Libya including this dictator since NATO invation. Very cruel the way it was showed his dead on TV. Its the law of la selva, not of rationality or of peaceful. I dont see a pacificate Libya, no no.
Oct 20th, 2011 - 10:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Really the world in hands of these power countries its a disgusting subject, how they manage to do what they want, no matter the ways.
We have had dictators (that violated human rights), we have judged them under law, we have put them on jail. I prefer that countries resolve their conflicts by themselves, with no interferences of foreigners ones, and the justice of the third world, its much more better at least for me, than the cruelty I saw through 8 months. This death wont bring peace.
And the hypocrisy of those that received and sold arms to this dictator knowing who he was and then sent the rebels to kill him it is a shame. Double speech all the time. A bad example of how to resolve conflicts. And a way to stay there for 2 or 3 years with a muppet government, stealing. Meanwhile these countries are suffering an economical crisis they cant resolve, they make meetings, they are going to save greece or not, indignados marchs everywhere, dont know whether to continue with the euro, and dont know what to do. And the UN in front of this is a shame. I would like to know if they are sending veedores to see if human rights are being violated by rebels.
Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, when visiting Lybia, said during a press conference, that she and Gaddafi are the same kind of people.

Yet in the country’s morgues, the war dead registered from both sides in each area so far are mostly in the hundreds, not the thousands. And those who are still missing total as few as 1,000, according to the International Committee of the Red Cross. Those figures may be incomplete, but even if the missing number proves to be three times as high, and all are dead, the toll would be far short of official casualty totals.

And a way to stay there for 2 or 3 years with a muppet government,
Since then, however, Beijing has courted Libyan rebels by hosting their leaders and sending envoys for talks
The Libyan embassy in Argentina has recognized the rebel National Transitional Council as the legitimate authority in the North African country, officials said Tuesday.
Embassy spokesperson Norma Nur said the embassy had replaced the green flag of Libya's embattled leader Moammar Qaddafi with the rebels' green, black and red tri-color.

”That Cameron can say he is proud speaks volumes of the man. He is no better than Tony Blair.
If Libya's principal export was broccoli and not the finest sweet crude Gaddafi would still be in power. Its when our so called politicians go on TV and pretend that they give a ---- about the Libyan peoples liberty and human rights.....what a load of horse manure they don't give a toss about their own people never mind Libyans.
The hypocrisy is nauseating !!
Don't be so naive Beef.
Gaddafi was supposed to have destroyed his entire stockpile of chemical weapons in early 2004, Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) verified that Libya had owned a stockpile of 23 metric tons of mustard gas and more than 1,300 metric tons of precursor chemical. But it looks like he kept hold of 9.5 tonnes of mustard gas at a secret location which is now under rebel control.

Oct 21st, 2011 - 04:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Not that old chestnut!!!!
This was a war for Libya’s oil. That is daft. Libya was already integrated into the international oil markets, and had done billions of deals with BP, ENI, etc., etc. None of those companies would have wanted to endanger their contracts by getting rid of the ruler who had signed them. They had often already had the trauma of having to compete for post-war Iraqi contracts, a process in which many did less well than they would have liked. ENI’s profits were hurt by the Libyan revolution, as were those of Total SA. and Repsol. Moreover, taking Libyan oil off the market through a NATO military intervention could have been foreseen to put up oil prices, which no Western elected leader would have wanted to see, especially Barack Obama, with the danger that a spike in energy prices could prolong the economic doldrums. An economic argument for imperialism is fine if it makes sense, but this one does not, and there is no good evidence for it (that Qaddafi was erratic is not enough), and is therefore just a conspiracy theory.

And now the VULTURES descend...
“British executives should be ”packing their suitcases“ and heading to Libya to win contracts following the death of Muammar Gaddafi, the defence secretary has said”(Philip Hammond)
“Now that campaign is over, of course I would expect British companies to be, even today, British sales directors, practically packing their suitcases and looking to get out to Libya and take part in the reconstruction of that company as soon as they can,” Mr Hammond told BBC Radio Four.
British officials say they are concerned that companies from other European countries, especially France and Italy, are lobbying aggressively for deals in post-Gaddafi Libya.”
I love the comments:
You mean Britain mercilessly bombed Libya, and now wants to make money out of it?
Aha. The truth behind the questionable war on Libya emerges. First: destroy the country's infrastructure; next, after victory, get contracts for the reconstruction. Did someone say thousands of innocent civilians have been killed and maimed in the war?
So that's what it was all about
And I thought it was all about freedom for the people of Libya

And the rest follow on,, but you forget, NATO is like a train, no driver no motion,
America will not act unitary except in an emergency without the rest o f NATO ,
She tried this before and it back fired, please don’t get confused between NATO and USA,
With NATO the usa acts with its allies, as America it act alone, America does not need NATO,
As she is big enough to do things alone, but at this moment in time Europeans and others need NATO when it wants to act outside of Europe, the exception being the British on a limited scale,

As NATO Secretary General Rasmussen explained, under ''Operation Unified Protector,'' NATO is doing ''nothing more, nothing less'' than meeting its mandates under United Nations Security Council resolutions. No NATO ground troops have participated in the operation – NATO’s success to date has been achieved solely with air and sea assets.

”Libyans are genuinely proud of themselves, their country and their brother leader. “
”Gaddafi admires and respects people“
”I was somehow in a trance listening to this man’s speech“
”I had allowed myself to be convinced that Gaddafi’s Libya is in a system of its own.“
”That Gaddafi is a genuine leader with the interest of his people at heart. ”
Anyone else think he's a weee bit biast?
the real biast are development countries concern by invading of freedom, democracy and human rights.
Oct 23rd, 2011 - 04:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0the last article I post says “development nations has to use ideas or statements often exxagerated or false for a political cause.....They need to sound as people oriented leaders to gain the much needed support otherwise they become irrelevant. They must use empty rhetoric of politician as an excuse to justify the partial occupation of less powerful nations”
the UN that seems to be failing in the responsability of inspiring peace among nations
the real truth is now the people of libya are slaves of the country that helped them kick out Khadafi.libya destruction is a victory to the west.this hegemonic nations came to stay and position themselves for contracts. nothing more nothing else. the game is destry and rebuild. you know it well. it has happened in irak, in afghanistan before.
You should look up that journalist. He has taken quite a fancy for Gadaffi.. Some of his quotes
Oct 23rd, 2011 - 04:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes he is up there with the likes of Sydney Schanberg,Bob Woodward and
Carl Bernstein
For reminder, I recently visited Libya for a three-day conference. Although the time I used in Libya is too short for a proper assessment of the country, I utilised the opportunity to get whatever I could in order to be able to extract some facts.
What I found out during my three-day-stay in Tripoli is this: Almost every Libyan has roof over her head. Life expectancy is said to be over 70. Per capital income is about 12,000 dollars. It seems the rich and the “poor” eat the same kind of food. And there’s almost no beggar and homeless in Tripoli.
Yep three days in the country and 9 hours of that under arrest
the fact that I was detained for 9 hours at the airport even though I was officially invited
Stick: malen must be right, along with this journalist who's spent a whole 3 days in libya.
Oct 23rd, 2011 - 04:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I mean, so what if the people are dancing and cheering in the streets? The people clearly don't know what they want more than malen and this journalist does. They have a whole three days between them in libya. They are the experts on the libians wishes/needs.
Peasants.
the real biast are development countries concern to invade of freedom human rights and democracy others poor nations that have oil. (i forgot to say). The invasion, well, is to protect civilians. If for any other reason, not previsible, some are killed, it was not part of the plan, things that happen when using arms.
Oct 23rd, 2011 - 04:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There was no invasion malen. This is a basic fact.
Oct 23rd, 2011 - 04:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0yes invasion of freedom is what you do.
Oct 23rd, 2011 - 04:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0war no. Now it is called no fly zone. bombs drop in libyan cities alone. things that happens. and rebels got arms and other militar support from round a corner by miracle.
So you support Gadaffi?
Oct 23rd, 2011 - 05:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0no. I think you are the same or worst.
Oct 23rd, 2011 - 05:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0sure not better. to be better, you dont have to do the same dictators does.
i mean killing or helping the killing, etc.
and isnt this a matter of powerful countries to show their hegemony and domination over others??
They asked us for help. These “cockroaches” as Gadaffi called them “did not deserve to live” because they did not “love” him.
Oct 23rd, 2011 - 05:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0His people took up arms because they did not want him. They now sing in the street because he's gone. Next year they will vote on what system of government they want.
Dislike it all you want malen. The PEOPLE of libya are as far as they are concerned, better off.

Argentine Judges Delay Justice for Dirty War Criminals
69 so you are saying YOU put a facto power council that took government by the help YOU gave them militarly, by force and illegally ?? and so then in the future they are going to be judged (as it happened with our militar junta, a facto government that took power by force)?? nice kids you are

“So you support Gadaffi?”
Oct 24th, 2011 - 09:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That is a false dichotomy, zeth.
Likewise, the fact that one was opposed to the illegal invasion of Iraq, doesn't mean one supported Saddam.

Oct 25th, 2011 - 02:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0and your majesty, with those beautiful casques in the head she regularly uses, only wake up our revolutionary instincts we have heritated....:)“
I think you're a bit confused.
Gadaffi like your junta took power against the peoples wishes.
The people wanted him out, Like argentina did.
This took some outside assistance, likewise it took loosing the war in Argentina to get rid of yours.
”not peace“
He was murdering his own people. This was not peace. He was offered a ceasefire, he continued killing his own people. Gadaffi chose war.
He's dead. Country now has peace.
”not freedom“
Lybians disagree with you. And they know more than you do.
”not democracy”
They HAD a dictator. Now they have a government that is going to be giving them democracy.
Word it anyway you like. the people of libya are grateful for us helping them get democracy and free them from a murdering dictator. Your opinion on the matter is nothing.
Forgetit87: You are correct. I only asked him because he seems to ignore the fact that gadaffi was a dictator who was killing his own people. That, and him linking a clearly pro gadaffi journalist.
“K. like your junta took power against the wishes of people”
Oct 25th, 2011 - 05:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“he was murdering his own people”
“outside assistance”
Dictators in Arg. were judged and put in jail. I would call the war of Malvinas a stupid mistake of the junta on their way to not loose power, that was on decline for them.
Dictators in Libya were murdered cruelty, with outside assistance. (indirect assistance)
About outside assistance, I dont like the way of assistance you give, militar and giving support to a faction against other (divide and conquer).
And the council that is now in power wasnt and isnt killing its own people with your assistance (the same way Khadafi did)wasnt and isnt put their by force (the same way K did) ?? till democracy comes in 18 months??
I see no difference. In my opinion it is worst, because the country is in chaos and totally destroyed, with more aggression between them, more killed people and more people fleeing, no water, no electricity, no jobs, no economy, etc.
Its my opinion anyway you may think what you like.
The people of Libya are those who suffer all this, Im not talking in their name. Perhaps you are right and all of them agree with you, according to your research.
“Dictators in Libya were murdered cruelty, with outside assistance. ”
Oct 25th, 2011 - 06:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Indeed he should have went to trial. Thing is the libyans clearly hated him so much they did not want to give him this chance. They were not real troops trained as such were just civilians fighting for there lives.
“I dont like the way of assistance you give”
We don't care. The people of libya asked us for help. We helped them. We gave them EXACTLY what they asked for, no more, no less.
“And the council that is now in power wasnt and isnt killing its own people”
No.
”wasnt and isnt put their by force (the same way K did) “
The force of the population of the country, Not a single dictator.
”? till democracy comes in 18 months??“
The interm government is currently discussing what form of government they wish to vote on. They expect this to last two weeks. even if it takes 18 months. 18 months till democracy is better than forever without it. You can't deny this.
”I see no difference.“
Because you clearly have a biast view. YOU see no difference. But the PEOPLE of libya clearly have a different opinion than you. They are the ones whos opinions matter. Not yours.
”more killed people and more people fleeing, no water, no electricity, no jobs, no economy, etc. “
Again biast unresearched view. If we would have not got involved he would have wiped out the rebels - More deaths.
”The people of Libya are those who suffer all this“
I agree. These are the people who asked us for help.
”and all of them agree with you, according to your research.”
Doesn't take much research Malen. Google the subject. They were out in 10,000's to cheer this on out in libya and i often see them dancing in the streets of london celebrating.
10.000 people on the square only represents the 0,1 % of libyan population (6.000.000)
Oct 25th, 2011 - 11:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0so nothing
and I will continue condemning the crimes and the killings for peace, freedom or democracy. Its not the way.
And it has to be analized this in a global context of power and domination between countries and economic interests.
No matter if Im alone thinking this, I can make my own point of view, from what I read both from a BBC or a Mathaba page, both biased. I dont follow masses, its not that because many thinks the same I will think the same or that is best.
And this is not only criticism to Br, also to US and France and NATO and UN that are everyday more far away from peace.
Its only my opinion.
So what would you have done, malen. lf someone asked for help, you would not give it?
Oct 26th, 2011 - 08:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0Let me add that it cost the tax payers (US) 2 billion to knock Gaddafi down versus trillions on the Iraq / Afghanistan war.
Oct 26th, 2011 - 03:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have a problem with the support of these assholes in the past for the sake of peace in the region without taking in consideration the oppression caused to their own people. Just a thought
”10.000 people on the square only represents the 0,1 % of libyan population (6.000.000)“
Oct 26th, 2011 - 03:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That's just wrong. Half the country was protesting against him. His own troops, Generals and Diplomats turned on him. Lybians wanted him out. To pretend this is not true just proves exactly how biast you are.
The rebels had well over 30,000 troops.
The 10,000 in that square in Benghazi you can also add on the tens of thousands who protested in Bayda, Derna, Bani Walid, Zintan, Ajdabiya and other cities. With hundreds also protesting outside police stations. The army then shot the protestors.
The reason why Benghazi was a free city was because of the FACT that Gadaffi's men were so overrun by protestors they had to flee the city.
In Bayda the riot control police joined the protestors against Gadaffi before the army had to retreat because... Again they were over run by civilians protesting.
From the 15th of feb the protestors were only a few hundred strong. By the 20th of feb, there were tens of thousands in various citys fighting the military and being shot to death.
At this point they were protesting in Dublin and London also.
By the 23rd of Feb the WHOLE eastern side of libya was no longer under Gadaffi's control. In a week he'd lost Cyrenaica, Misrata, Zawiya, Coastal Tripolitania, Sirte, Misrata, Khoms, the Tarhunah District, Zintan, Zawiya and Zuwara.
If you want to act like this was just a small protest with some 10,000 people against a lovely cuddley dictator. Atleast do your research first malen. Then you can ”make your own point of view”. Because without the facts all you're doing is chatting utter rubbish without even knowing what happened.
