NATO & U.S. After Libya's Oil


The claim back in March was that NATO, along with Britain, France, the United States, England, Germany, and Italy, intervened in order to protect civilians. So waving the banner of “human rights” - the most hypocritical and deceitful of all justifications for imperialist war - my government, the United States, along with NATO has stepped in so that they may secure their economic and political interests.
At this point there is a blockade on Libya; the west and its allies are trying to keep everything from going into Libya, including food and energy products in order to starve out the population while supplying huge amounts of military support including acting as the air force for the revolutionaries.

As you all know during civil war humanitarian concerns are last on the list of objectives. Consequently, it is deceitful for the United States, the United Nations, NATO, France, England, Italy, and Germany, to foster armed rebellion to conceive civil war in order to facilitate the assassination of Muammar Gaddafi and create regime change.

NATO’s strategy is to install a puppet regime so that Libya’s great oil resources will be turned over to the imperialist countries and their oil companies. There was no possibility of the rebels in Libya succeeding without the help of NATO and the United States.

Democracy in Libya is an urgent issue to solve. But it does not come by tanks and aircraft carriers from the U.S. and NATO. The democratic struggle is inseparable from national sovereignty and popular sovereignty. The armed aggression violates the principles of the UN Charter.

Imperialist intervention in the name of oil has caused unspeakable harm to civilian lives and property. The United States war of aggression in Iraq has so far claimed more than 92,000 civilian lives, orphaned 35 percent of Iraqi children, and created 4.7 million Iraqi refugees. The world should not allow the US and other Western powers to make Libya another Iraq. The sovereign right of the Libyan people to resolve their internal conflict must be respected.
