Jus playing devil's advocate and wondering to myself whether the U.S involvement in Libya's uprising is purely outta concern or kicking a man when he's down? The irony of this qtn jus made me laugh at myself a little because the world knows that that super power always has an ulterior motive for every action. To me its like a troubled relationship that can only and only be salvaged by the parties concerned and not every other opinionated by stander. This to me should still apply to Libya. Why after 42 years do all these nations wait to show concern over Libya's "failing economy and inefficienct gov't. "
The U.S has for long wanted to pin Gadaffi for the la belle night club bombing and lockerbie and much as both suspects were Libyan , the man himself could not be held accountable. This even sparked off the bombing of his tripoli residence all based on suspicion of him having masterminded these attacks. In this erratic attack, Gadaffi's adopted daughter Hanna was killed...she was abt 9 years old. Everything that this self proclaimed 'king' stands for arks the U.S need i mention his tent pitching fascination? So, is this a question of making the best use of timing, has this uprising presented the opportunity to bring down the man that has for so long eluded them. Mubarak succumbed to the pressure of the masses which to the U.S was a victory because Egypt was down, Libya to go and this would be the final blow to Gadaffi's dream of having a pan arab alliance that started with Libya, syria and egypt. I guess we shall just have to wait and see how this plays out. I am so not an advocate for indefinate rule but the persistent involvement of the U.S.A in every other country's business evokes so much anger in me. Cant they foccus on their economy or sth, their plate's full as it is
