My question is there are so many bad dictators in the world like Omar Al-bashi in Sudan. A whole lot of countries that could benefit from military involvement of the NATO pact. And practically none do, tough when a country that has resources like oil has a civil ware NATO jumps on its white horse to protect its interests and claims it is doing it to help the civilians.
Im not saying that Libyans dictator should not be removed from power im saying dont say you are doing it for the people cause it is a lie.

Re: Syria?
Didn't I just say that I wasn't an expert in MIddle Eastern affairs? Don't know where that came from. Obviously I meant Libya.
Well they had some pro democracy protests a few days back too 4 protesters where killed and a few hundred injured all we got from NATO is the use of deadly force was unacceptable. Hm i guess the facts that their oil pumping has been dwindling from 600 000 bbl/d in 1995 to 425 000 bbl/d and that most experts agree that Syria will become a net importer of petroleum by 2012, dont make Syria the best candidate to get helped by NATO to become a peaceful democracy, and their civilians are not that high on the wee need to protect them list.
