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.


Libyans never had control in the first place - oil was under Gaddafi's control.
Man, ordinary people had better social allowances in Libya than they have in Sweden. Take your head out of the TV box.

Just like natural resources of USSR was not USSR people's property, but were exploited by communist elite building useless shit like nuclear weapons.
Again, you're probably too young to know, but people did live far more happier in USSR than they are now.

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

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.
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.
