Libya, with its huge energy resources-proven reserves of 47 billion barrels of oil and 1.5 trillion cubic meters of natural gas - greatest in Africa -, large area (1.76 million square kilometers), and a small population (6.5 million), has become a prime target for Western imperialism recently. Imperialists have been on a feeding frenzy after that greatest barrier to their insatiable greed for domination and control over human and natural resources of rest of the world disappeared with collapse of USSR. Libya, under Moammar Gadhafi, had developed anti-imperialist positions and alliances in Africa and other parts of the world, and had also embarked on a largely non-capitalist path of social development, to which it gave a uniquely Libyan form, under the programs and objectives of the Green Revolution, as outlined in the Green Book and Green Charter.
Few other countries lived in such a social comfort under Gadhafi, as Libyans did before NATO intervention. They had very good free health care system and treatment. Their state-of-art hospitals were providing the best medical equipment in the world. The education in Libya was free of charge. Talented youth have an opportunity to study abroad at the expense of Libya. After getting married, a couple can get more than 60 thousands dinar (50 thousand dollars) of financial help. State credits are non-interest-bearing, and often the principal is written off as well. According to IMF/World Bank data, Libya had the highest GDP per capita in Africa of more than US$12,000 in 2010 and was projected to be about US$18,000 by 2015 (IMF). The literacy rate is 82.6 percent, rising from 10 percent before the 1969 revolution; life expectancy at birth is 77.47 years. After the formal independence, the poverty situation did not change significantly (under puppet of the West king Idris), until the Gadhafi led bloodless 1969 Revolution that brought about great strides in every area of social, economic, and political life of the people, including the almost complete elimination of poverty and hunger.
However, on March 19, 2011 the United Nations Security Council has proven itself to be an International House of Prostitution, by passing the imperialist UN Security Council Resolution 1973 and giving the brutal imperialist intervention and invasion of Libya a UN cover. Even though every Arab and Muslim child can see that it is a NATO operation and it is for stealing Libyan oil and wealth, the news media anchors, academics, and experts-all grown up and supposedly highly educated-are stating it to be otherwise, a "humanitarian" operation of a coalition of humanist countries, which, in fact, are countries whose whole history is full of colonialism, genocides, plunders, and robberies of other countries and their resources.
It is beyond dispute that the 1969 Libyan Revolution, under the leadership of Moammar Gadhafi, initiated and brought about great progress in the political, educational, economic, industrial, medical, social, cultural, and other areas of Libyan society. In the international arena also, it extended practical support to nations and movements struggling for their politico-economic and national independence and progress. The programs, goals, and objectives of the Green Book, Green Charter, and Green Revolution involved highly creative, imaginative, and intelligent concepts for solving the problems of democracy, social justice, and politico-economic independence. These were especially suitable for Libya, because of its unique economic and demographic situation and constituted a unique and innovative Libyan path of non-capitalist development. In the entire history of Third World countries, no other intellectual or leader had come up with or designed such a comprehensive program of non-capitalist social development. It was undoubtedly a reflection of the high intellectual, spiritual, and imaginative level of Moammar Gadhafi.
What rational and just stand should the progressive Arabs, Muslims, Africans, and people from other parts of the world must take in this great moment of truth and crisis? To answer that question, it is necessary to identify and clarify the nature of main contentious forces on the global level.
The real universal dichotomy and opposition in the contemporary world is between imperialism and anti-imperialism, between the imperialist and anti-imperialist forces. From the perspectives of all the great religions and philosophies of the world, imperialism is an indescribably great evil, as it stands for global injustice, exploitation, domination, plunder, robbery, wars of aggression, and mass murders.
After brutal distraction of once independent Iraq and Libya, they have now added Syria too to their sinister agenda.

Is Muammar Al-Gaddafi Dead?by AtheismCentral5,329 views
I suppose you people believe in the Easter Bunny too... if you followed the whole event you'd see that it was your hero (the libyan leader) that ordered Gunships to open fire on unarmed civilians. Now put that in your pipe and smoke it.

After the economic hitmen fail(see John Perkins utubes), and the jackels fail(assassins), either the corp/military complex comes in and or aides and abets rogue leaders like al quieda Libya,thousands die. One more bloody bloody rape of a resource rich country for the US led western "1%" to exploit it. Post ww2 the US complex is the leader from hell in amount of misery, poverty and death on its hands to get the riches from resource rich countries for the "1%".
