Thread: 'Victory' in Tripoli, Libya. A big lie?

Jesus. I think reading this thread caused my IQ to drop several points.

What do you mean by that?

Anyway, the UN mandate was to protect the civilians in Libya and frankly I have no idea why Russia for example went along with this idea.

So how does a NATO hunt for Khaddaffi save civilians in Libya?

This war just makes me totally sick - things should have been allowed to take their course in Libya without anyone elses involvement.

The Libyans were proud and happy with Khaddaffi for quite a long time. If they suddenly change their mind it's nobody's business but theirs, and they should sort it out.

Suddenly the rebels are offering a number of million dollars for the capture of Khaddaffi... Who gave them the millions.
And who will set up a new government there now?
The Libyans can wave goodbye to the control of their oil now.

Yes, and Baltic people lived happily under USSR occupation.

The Libyans can wave goodbye to the control of their oil now.

Libyans never had control in the first place - oil was under Gaddafi's control.
Just like natural resources of USSR was not USSR people's property, but were exploited by communist elite building useless shit like nuclear weapons.

They did not suddenly changed - they used opportunity when such things happened in whole region and neighbouring dictatorships could not help them, because they had problems of their own.
Just like Warsaw pact countries overthrew their communist governments when they saw that there will not be backing from USSR anymore.
Latvians did not suddenly decide to leave USSR for example - you might not know this, but armed resistance against Soviet occupation happened till 1956 - more than 16 years.

And who will set up a new government there now?

Well I hope that people of Libya will do it, not some bloodthirsty dictator anymore.

You're probably a very young person who didn't live back in the USSR era. Nevertheless you would be surprised to know that I actually know a number of ethnic Luthuanians who wouldn't agree with your sarcasm.

Man, ordinary people had better social allowances in Libya than they have in Sweden. Take your head out of the TV box.

Again, you're probably too young to know, but people did live far more happier in USSR than they are now.

A number of mercenaries were paid by the State Dept. to organize this so called 'rebellion'.

Yeah, there were 3.5 Latvians who opposed.

Well I hope that people of Libya will do it, not some bloodthirsty dictator anymore.

I hope Gaddafi kills all the rebelious leaders and send their heads to Washington in a decorated bucket.

Come on, serious topics like this one should be injected with some guffy stuff. Just for not getting tired and bored. ))

Especially for those who don't want to pay for marijuana.

western/Nato countries froze over $100 billion of Libyan assets, and apparently they are using it in this war. Nato actions appear to violate treaties/position against war of aggression.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_aggression
.Nuremberg trials were important for using this concept. Nato are not accountable to anyone.
