    SouthAmerica: And Americans wonder why the United States is losing all its credibility around the world.

    Today doing business with US financial companies it is the same as asking to be screwed and ripped off.

    Libya could be another name on the list of alleged victims of the U.S. giant investment bank Goldman Sachs. The bank is being investigated by the American Government for its part in the financial crisis. It's supposedly lost over a one billion dollar investment made by Tripoli three years ago.

    “Goldman Sachs the Pillage People” and its network of scoundrels and thieves – these people are beyond any change and repair.

    They are like cancer and what they touch eventually become a wreckage.

    All I can do is try to keep these people out of Brazil, because these parasites are good for nothing other that sucking the life out of and destroy everything they touch

    'Goldman Sachs ripped off Gaddafi?'

    Gaddhafi ripped himself off. Why did he invest $33B in the US when BRIC nations are showing economic growth in 6-10% range. Stupid guy started sucking US balls EVEN after they bombed him in 80s and put whole of his country under sanctions for 10-12 years costing 100s of billions in oil revenues. Stupid Moron drunk in power!

    If you think Gaddafi was stupid of keeping so much money of Libya in the United States, then what do you think about countries such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Japan and China?

    Are these countries smart?

    It is just a matter of time for them to pillage a big chunk of the assets also of Saudi Arabia, UAE, and China.

    SA,

    when there is a mistake then own up and made amends. Your comment about other nations is right. Basic investment philosophy says put money where the returns are vis a vis risk. BRIC nations offer pretty good value of returns vrs risk, even better than the US and Europe and this is true for last 10 years atleast.

    Now NATO wants to dip into Libyan funds to finance the bombing of the Libyan infrastructure. Their plan is to topple G and then win contracts for their companies to rebuild Libya. Just like Iraq is buying $36B worth of arms from the US.

    Gaddhafi was wrong in 'point blank' machine gunning and killing of his own people in Febuary. Why could he not have put them in prison in a straight and simple manner. There would have been 100s of thousands of people in jails but tough, you break the law and curfew and you end up in jail.

    Worst, as recently as two week past, G's forces were gangraping common civilian women in Misrata. Is that a way to win goodwill of the people. I believe that is the way to win enemies and especially in Islamic world where raping a woman is a big big crime.

    I believe there should be a ceasefire in Libya where a gameplan is made whereby in 2 years free and fair elections are held and winner takes the leadership. G can remain in power for 2 years and oversee a calm but genuine reform of the system and society. If he wins the elections after two years, good for him and the Libyan people. The system will stand reformed for the future and common democracy will prevail with no Kings and Pharohs around.
     
  7. Please do keep them out of Brazil. I plan on living there for a couple of years in the not so far future.
