A look at Libya 'liberated' by Western war mongers; under the pretext of so called humanitarian 'Right To Protect '
Ever since West invented more and more lethal war machines , bombs and missiles to use Chinese invented gunpowder ,they were on warpath first among themselves in Europe .Then ,after the defeat of the Ottoman arms at the Gates of Vienna in 16th century ,they began colonization of north Africa , then Africa and most of Asia under so called mission of civilizing the natives , who were much more civilised then them in most places .
There was some respite under the Mutual Assured Destruction strategic balance after WWII but following the Collapse of USSR in 1990, US led West has been on rampage .We will not detail them all but here look at what they have achieved under the policy of Right to Protect in Libya, a very rich and welfare flourishing state under Qaddafi with many more rights and freedoms then citizens of Western friends in Gulf led by Saudi Arabia.
While no exact figures are available, it was reported that before US led NATO and Gulf states began their bombing missions and testing missiles and other latest killing machines on Libyans, during the rebellion around 5 to 10 thousand Libyans had lost lives .Since then some reports suggest up to one hundred thousand fatalities including the US Ambassador Stevens have been estimated.
I had done a few pieces during the Libyan rebellion and the massive bombings and missiles attack by NATO forces, one article given at the end .But below is a recent piece by Vijay Pershad, an analyst, teacher and journalist of repute.

Report Card from Libya
Blood and Oil
By VIJAY PRASHAD
On September 16, 2013, the Libyan National Oil Corporation is going to hold a three-day fest called the Libya Forum for Oil, Gas and Sustainable Growth. The speakers include a mix of Libyan government officials and energy bureaucrats as well as suits from the major oil and gas corporations.<< In Egypt, it was mass demonstrations in concert with the army that led to Mubarak's ouster in January 2011. Much the same sort of grammar led to the removal of Morsi last month. It was an armed uprising against Qaddafi, not mass demonstrations that threatened the Libyan regime. That NATO entered the fray simply hastened the end of the regime and handed over its keys to the neo-liberal technocrats (such as Mahmud Jibril and Shukri Ghanem). The new violence in Libya runs parallel to the new crowds in Tahrir Square. They are not happy with the first flush of what their rebellion produced. They are at it again. Not in five-star hotels but in their hovels. >>
