Don't forget Shell. Dutch Oil has a major interest in the outcome of this as well.

They'll be on Libya like ticks and fleas.

This has to be about the oil....especially if Qaddafi is cutting off western ties there. There is huge economic interest for this for all of Europe....and the to the US as well since we are all tied together economically.

It seems to me this is why it's happening...it sure as hell isn't for "freedom" of the people of Libya.

Are you sure it isn't for freedom?

You think freedom is just some people talkin'? Our freedoms were earned with blood.

The people in that country may be fighting for freedom...but that has nothing to do with why we are interfering.

There are some people who do really care about the plight of the Libyan people.

There are a number of different interests and influences at work here. Some good and some bad. Its very gray.

With that being said, I hate anybody who shoot up innocent people. Let the bombs fly all over his home.


I agree jam....just don't want to see us sucked into another conflict. The other Arab nations or any other could do this....just don't know why we even have to stick a toe in the door. Qaddafi can burn in hell...and will eventually for what he has done too innocent people.

Just find it hard to believe they are going to drop a few bombs and leave....and even if they do it will likely leave Libya in chaos.

On a side note: Someone I know, who just came back from a tour in Afghanistan just got a one day notice for leave but is not allowed to say where....which is most likely Libya.

They are moving quick it looks like.

with all the posibilities of Egypt and Tunisia becoming positive social and economic forces, the Lybian dictator is a fly in the ointment.

he must go, he's a negative influence on both the Middle East and Africa.

just hope Turkey stops objecting to finishing this mess with their romantic view of diplomacy.

removing the dictator should be the task of the UK, France and Italy, who have the most to lose from the continuation of this uprising.

just the displaced people problem is enough to warrant the military cost.
lets just get it over with.

the Lybian people will be better of with the Egyptians and Tunisians, in forging a common future.

Its strange that russia isnt sending any military forces to back gaddafi and show the finger to america as well.
I guess they dont want to be called the aggressors like they were called back in 2008.


I think russia and china are waiting for the right moment.
