  1. it's just another illegal war by the US and its allies over oil.

    i hope americans aren't dumb enough to believe we're there to liberate the people. i doubt our leaders would give a rat's ass about their people if libya had no oil.

    Ever thought for a moment that much of the world thinks the US President is a 'tyrant'. Screw your head on backwards for a moment and they've got a solid argument.

    Not knocking the US or supporting the otherside but always remember that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter..........

    The UK had this problem with the IRA in Ireland. In the UK they were called terrorists but many in the US called them freedom fighters and sent them loads of cash. Who was right?

  7. China is concerned because they thought they had Africa all to themselves, mostly, after the West basically stole the precious metals and abandoned the continent. Now that the prices for many non PM resources are rising rapidly, perhaps the West now sees Africa as more than just pirates, hunger, disease, etc... China, which plans out for decades and not just to the next 3 month earnings statement or the next election, already has a huge foothold in Africa, with (according to an article I recdently read) upwards of 2million or more workers/engineers in the continent. The West has a lot of catching up to do. Especially with the African Union's recent opposition to the bombing of Libya...

  9. Agree. There are plenty of countries with people that need "liberating" yet we ignore them when they're oil free.

    The US doesn't care about international humanity anymore than they care helping those within it's own borders. It's pretty pathetic actually.

    China seizes on Libya for anti-West propaganda war
    Ruling party apparently worried about prospects of Arab-style unrest

    BEIJING — A plot to seize Libya's oil. A warning to the world that the West will cling to dominance. A flagrant display of hypocrisy over human rights.

    China's ruling Communist Party has countered the West's air strikes against Libya's Moammar Gadhafi with a torrent of such criticisms in state-run newspapers and television, mounting a propaganda campaign to deter the public from any temptation to copy Arab insurrections against authoritarian rulers.

    The media drive shows how nervous China's leaders are about any challenges to their firm hold on power, and especially about online comments that Western action in Libya shows the supremacy of international human rights standards, said Li Datong, a former editor at a Chinese party newspaper.

    "The Chinese Communist Party sees a big threat in the idea that human rights and democratic demands can outweigh state sovereignty. They want to counter all that," said Li, who was forced out of his job for denouncing censorship.
