Which Journalists,from CNN,BBC or maybe from Al.Jazeera,other African,Asian or East-Europe TV-stations,(newspapers).
A great range of media sources.
You have to remember that even the Arab League supported imposition of the no-fly zone.
Opposition to Gadafi is not a mere Western confusion.
True,I`m not visiting Libya last 12 months,but I`m in contact with people Who working there.They say that all is Politicaly-constructed,Ghadafi was Americas enemy-first-class,so they find a way to remove him.
The United States was playing footsie with Gadafi recently.
No Western move against Gadafi was made until the arrival of the Arab Spring.
In Tunisia and Egypt, dictators fell.
The same impulse towards self-determination spread to Libya, a country far more repressed than either Tunisia or Egypt.
Only when Gadafi began using his army against relatively defenseless protestors was there any serious impulse on the part of Western nations to begin a military operation.
You may be an Arab and therefore, in principle, better informed that I am about all this ... but I can't recognize the situation as I understand it in your descriptions.
Just think,why are only America and few west-Europe countries in this,what is with others.Libya is 2-nd country with Oil.
My Friend,one recomendation,when you watch TV-s And want to belive,.then watch all tv-s. I mean tv-s of booth sides,and then take compromis.
Why have so many Libyan ambassadors taken positions sympathetic to the rebels?
Why are so many Arab commentators ... many of them not usually sympathetic to the United States ... saying it's really time that Gadafi goes?
If Gadafi is so well loved, why has he had to deprive the Libyan people of so many political rights? Had to use force and a strong police network against his own people, over many decades?
I repeat: I do not know the relevance of oil in this situation. It is in the interest of America and other Western nations to have Libyan oil enter the international market to keep supplies plentiful. There was never any threat to the continuation of Libyan supply ... so why do you think oil is a factor here?
Libya is not even in the top dozen oil producers.
It may rank higher as an exporter, but it is nowhere near second place.
If you believe otherwise, please find a citation.
I think you are sincere, hifzija, but I have real doubts about your version of what's going on in Libya.
EDIT: I just checked on Libya's oil reserves, which might place it higher than its production or export level among other oil-producing nations. It appears to be in ninth place.
