random musings on intervention

love all the love the europeans and americans are showering on themselves for their actions on libya, remember when u all decided to welcome gadaffi with open arms after he pledged his soul to u, opened his markets for ur weapons and started sending oil ur way?
lets not forget the system has not changed and american military and economic interests have not been abandoned for the good of humanity
the ppl of yemen and bahrain have also faced harsh measures and yet even though stopping those atrocities might be easier than doing so in libya considering their military ties with the US, nothing is being done
so once again ur life is only worth protecting if the regime killing u is anti-american
solidarity with the oppressed of the world demands we are always critical and ask questions like why action in libya and not in other places? the war in the congo killed over 5 million ppl over 10 years yet no one scrambled to pass a resolution to protect civilians there and still there is no attempt to intervene and stop the killings and rapes there
the ppl in iraq, afghanistan, pakistan and palestine also wonder if the western interest in protecting civilians would extend to them?

  1. agree with you. to this very moment Ivory Coast faces the beginning of a civil war because refusing to step down after the elections he lost. France, the biggest partner of Ivory Coast isnt showing any will to make a move, while it makes so much publicity about what they are doing in Libya
