In Libya to day the Colonel GaddafiƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  the Leader of the Sovereign State ofƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Libya is beingƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  hunted by America, France andƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  UK ,as a vulgar terrorists ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ accusing him of dropping cluster bombs to kill his people . And unheard ofƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Libyan expatriates had been assembled in a hurry by Nicolas Sarkozy the French President, to recognize them ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ as the Libyan Government in exileƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  to represent the ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-terrorirstƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ rebels in Bengazi.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  That is the Magic of Nicolas Sarkozy making a Leader of a Sovereign State a terrorist overnight to recognize the ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-terroristsƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ rebels in Libya as a Government.

 

At the beginning of the Western ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-terrorism ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…- against Libya on Saturday, 19 March, 2011 incidentally the eighth anniversary of the start of the American war in Iraq, with the UN Sanction to keep the Libyan air space free, the Americans commencedƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  the Operation Odyssey Dawn with the ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ US Destroyer USS Barry ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ launchingƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Tomahawk Missiles at Libyan target,. whileƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  the British planes used Stormshadow Missiles on yet other Libyan targets.

 

Few hours later British and American War ships had launched more than 110 tomahawk missilesƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  targeting Libyan Government air defenses around Tripoli and MistrataƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  In whichƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚«ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ unconfirmedƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚» reportsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  stated 48 people mostly children had been killed and 150 wounded.

 

Barrack Obama calling from Brazil explained “This is not an outcome the U.S. or any of our partners sought,ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦..We cannot stand idly by when a tyrant tells his people there will be no mercy.”

 

The majority of the Libyan people does ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ not call Colonel Gaddafi a ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-tyrantƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ and it is only a disgruntled few in Bengazi ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ who rose against Colonel Gaddafi. NaturallyƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  the Leader of the Nation of Libya could not show mercy to a handful of ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-terroristsƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ trying toƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  create chaos in Bengazi against him putting in danger the lives of his people in the country.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Hence the stern warning.

 

For the International Community a Leader of the Sovereign State of Libya becomes overnight a tyrant, because a handful ofƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  so called rebels- in reality armed terrorists ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ rise against the Libyan regime, without an apparent ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-leadershipƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ calling ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ for a change of government.

 

The Libyan Leader reacted declaring his intention to face the Western aggression by arming his people, which is a correct move to defend his country and his people loyal to him.

 

The three nations America, France and UK started their ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…- terrorismƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ against Libya firing cruise missiles from several American destroyers- USS Barry, USS Stout and three submarines USS Providence, USS Scranton, and USS Florida along with the British Submarine- Westminster.

 

After all these reckless bombardments into a people ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ in LibyaƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  about whom neither the Americans, nor the French nor the British knew ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ or cared to know ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ any thing about,ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  anƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  anti Gaddafi American blogger said, ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚¦but this was 100% necessary, because Gaddafi would have no qualms at dropping missiles onto the heads of his own people if he needed to.ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚

 

TheƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  world other than these, ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…- three ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  aggressive leaders, does not know that Colonel GaddafiƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  ever dropped any bombs on his own people or believe he would ever do so. This Western notion comes from their ignorance of the cultural make up of a people, which in Arab countries is anƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  intense tribalism with an unflagging ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ loyalty to itsƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  leader..

 

The three Leaders of America, France and UK ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ on the pretext of keeping the air space of Libya free with all those warships and planes and undeclared number of missiles targeting Tripoli, Mistrata and Bengazi may have certainly dropped many bombs on the heads of Libyans who do not matter very much to them ( ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ unlike Gaddafi who loves them as his people.)

 

The strategy of the Western trio is to weaken the Libyan LeaderƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  and strengthen the terrorist rebels in Bengazi, and create other groups ofƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  terrorist rebels in other parts of Libya. The death of the Libyans is not their immediate ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ concern , but theirƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  immediate concern ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ is to subdue Gaddafi and force him out of Libya so that they will become the masters ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ to decide on the exploitation and distribution ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ of the Libyan oil fields.

 

They ascertain that there would be no occupation ofƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Libya ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ by American Soldiers , but only strategic strikes would be pursued to ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ weaken Gaddafi against the rebel fighters- that is to weaken a Leader of a Sovereign State against ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…- a terroristƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ rebel force, supported of course by the Western Imperialists.

 

In fact this is how the Indian RAW trained a group of Tamil youth to become terrorists in Sri Lanka.

 

President Barrack Obama was my favourite politician.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  I thought he would be able to, give the American people a political system hithertoƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  unknown, where peace would rein, crime among the young would be eliminated, the poor Americans will benefit by the implementation of hisƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  progressiveƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  political ideology. I thought he will put an end to American aggressive confrontational foreign policies.

 

The Americans vote for his election as the PresidentƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  was a vote to end wars, to stop sacrificing its youth hunting ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…- invisible terrorists ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…- in foreign lands away from homeƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  in a war of vengeance and hatred , to bring back the war weary American soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan leaving those countries to organize their own security and protection..

 

But today he has deceived those Americans who voted him to replace a ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-war crazyƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ Bush administration with a peace loving, people friendlyƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  administration.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  He has instead engaged himself in another war in Libya, falsely declaring that no American soldier will be deployed in Libya but usingƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  5 destroyers and submarines and launching innumerableƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  missiles and bombs commencing another unending war in Libya following two European leadersƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  who have lost their popularity amoung their people and their r-elections seriously in doubt.

 

It is time that the President Barrack Obama at least now give the American people and the World looking for a sane leadership in America a ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-new hope- Yes we canƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ regime change. America instead of seeking to destroy civilian lifeƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  by incessant bombardment of ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-unseenƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq, should turn within to ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ provide effective control inside ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ America ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ to preventƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  America being targeted for attacks by terrorists coming from outside.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  America could then ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ utilize the valuable lives ofƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  American youth for the development of the country instead of letting their red American bloodƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  soak into unfriendly foreign soil..

 

The President Barrack Obama shouldƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  at least now maintain hisƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  image of a sane leader aware of the suffering of the people, who could use his ability of elocution to created a New America seeking to settleƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  serious problems the world is confronted with today inƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  dialogueƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  and peace negotiations rather than bulldozingƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  the world ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ with bombs and missiles.

 

Aggression will be replied with aggression and that would not take any one any where.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  A sane leadership is where the leader has the ability to remain undisturbed in the face of arrogance and be peaceful and speakƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  a language different from that of the aggressor.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  It is that way the President Barrack Obama could settle disputes not only in Libya, but also inƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  North Korea, Iran, or elsewhere.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  He should be able to bring aggressive leaders in Europe to his way of thinking.

 

The present military confrontation in Libya is simply arrogance in search of benefits for the West and not at all in the interest of the people of Libya.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Therefore the Wastern aggression in Libya should be stopped and allow the Libyan leader toƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  settleƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  problems in his own way.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  Presidents of European countries should look after their own people without trying to settle matters in other countries which should ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ best be allowed to be decide ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ by them.

 

The West could give advice and propose technical aid to developing countries.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  It is underdevelopment that causes multifarious problems in developing countries and what they want from the International Community is Assistance for development and progress not war in support ofƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  rebellious elements ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ who will if pampered by the West become terrorists.

 

Some of the leaked Guantanamo files give terrifying insight into savagery of American interrogation of captives.ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  The following website reveals unbelievableƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  violation of human rights about which none of the human rights activists or the Amnesty International had probed into, as theyƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  seem to careƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  more about the ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-ethnic ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-problem in Sri Lanka.

It is hoped thatƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚  wisdom would prevail and Libya would be left alone to solve its problem.
