What price will Libyan people pay to be free, that the question that lingers in everyone mind for those who have been following Libyan political unrest. For the last three or so months the Libyan airspace
World most powerful nations lined up to ravage Libya and to premier their state of the art arsenal while the despot Libyan ruler has vowed to remain adamant and hardcore to the core. One wonders why diplomacy wasn’t given a chance to settle Libya political unrest and why the western nations hastily endorsed air strike. In my opinion the air strike was meant to stop Muammar Gaddafi from attacking and killing civilians, something that NATOS invasion have failed to safeguard. We are seeing more western aggression against an impeccable humanity and no doubt horrific damages have resulted. NATO has ostensibly allowed itself to be engulfed into ill-fought war whose motives are to protect world powerful nation’s interest.
The autocratic Libyan leader who hates some grandiose tittles has however vowed to remain in power and swore he will never leave his country. The big question which lingers in everyone mind is whether the self made islamist is ready to pay the price, With bombing aiming closer to Gaddafi’s haven and President Obama being under constant pressure from us senators to let US ground forces hunt the outrageous technocrat it leaves no doubt that Gaddaffi is clinging in power for last days.
African tyrants are increasingly being subjected to guerilla warfare kind of revolt in which the combatants are their ordinary citizen, Colonel Gaddafi regime is being accused of subversion and sponsoring terrorist activities in the world. A renowned Islamic former Libyan minister for justice earlier this year reported that Gaddafi personally ordered Lockerbie’s bombing in which more than 200 people were killed, majority were being Americans. It therefore occurs to me that the invasion of NATO in Libya is more to settling score than saving civilians.
