Muhammad min Libya writes: "So as the calls for foreign intervention grow, I'd like to send a message to western leaders: Obama, Cameron, Sarkozy. This is a priceless opportunity that has fallen into your laps, it's a chance for you to improve your image in the eyes of Arabs and Muslims. Don't mess it up. All your previous programmes to bring the east and the west closer have failed, and some of them have made things even worse. Don't start something you cannot finish, don't turn a people's pure revolution into some curse that will befall everyone."

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.
Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

"Bin Laden had struck an alliance with Libyan fundamentalists who helped fight the Soviets in Afghanistan, helping them organize the Libya Fighting Group. That group, which aimed to overthrow Gadhafi and replace his regime with a fundamentalist Islamic government, ultimately produced some of bin Laden's closest aides, including two directors of international operations responsible for planning terrorist attacks against the U.S..".. good old times when Reagan bombed Gaddafi and killed his adopted infant daughter - to support his bin Laden "freedom fighters"
there are for sure some of these elements in the "revolution" -
This is nationalistic/tribal war/revolution. Our man in Libya was Gaddafi - when we will find our new man in Tripoli we will bomb. And oil price is climbing - Comrade Putin is smiling - more sanction on Libya, Iran - more oil profit for stable Russia.
EU is paying at the pump.
Reuters - 22 minutes ago
DUBAI (Reuters) - The Arab League head Amr Moussa said on the Thursday the group would consider a proposal by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to negotiate a peaceful settlement to Libya's intensifying conflict"
Libya accepted - should UN/US prefer peaceful solution - regardless where it comes from? Not in interest of Banksters - again people will die for profit ..
