After months of bombing by the allied crusader forces, it is becoming increasingly apparent that Libya may have to be partitioned, as the West slowly loses momentum.
Like with Iraq and Afghanistan before it, it is obvious to any sane person with a modicum of common sense that such wars are not about protecting civilians, finding weapons of mass destruction, or removing brutal dictators coveted by the West for decades— rather it’s all about oil security.
As the crusader forces pummel Gaddafi’s obsolete hardware and ravage the country through indiscriminate bombing, resulting in hundreds of civilian causalities—one cannot ignore the fact that only a few months ago, Gaddafi and his family were portrayed by the West as reformed modernizers with a gleam of democratic credentials. In Britain, Gaddafi and his family mixed with the aristocracy and hobnobbed with the likes of Nat Rothschild, who,, through his friend Lord Mandelson, a confidant of ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair, helped engineer Libya’s rehabilitation in the so called comity of nations. As part of this assistance, Blair also exercised great freedom over the Libyan Investment Authority, which at the last count had $70 billion of plundered money belonging to the Libyan people. Yet none of these intertwined commercial interests between Britain and their agent Gaddafi prevented the former from turning against their surrogate for the last forty-one years.
Sensing the cataclysmic nature of protests across Libya, the UK was quick to abandon Gaddafi and expunge any vestiges of cooperation between the two countries. William Hague, the UK foreign secretary, scurried to announce Gaddafi‘s exit to Venezuela and that the UK was looking to a post-Gaddafi era. Nonetheless, the enigmatic Gaddafi, whom the British identified at Sandhurst and then nurtured and protected for four decades, dug in his heels and decided to fight his masters. Outraged by Gaddafi’s defiance, the British mobilized Western countries and the UN to use force to remove him from power—the unofficial goal of military intervention.
The story is reminiscent of the lives of several other brutal dictators that the colonial powers brought to power and armed to the teeth. They watched as their protégés oppressed the ummah, and when the time came, ditched them like disposal tissues. Saddam, Suharto, Musharraf, Mubarak, and Ben Ali are just some of the names that come to immediate recollection.
The West’s unrepentant treachery is not limited to their agents—it is far worse in both scope and magnitude when applied to the Muslim world. For the past eighty odd years, the West has ignored the plight of the Muslim masses, denied them the same values they espouse for their own citizens, and turned a blind eye to the tyranny of the Arab and Muslim rulers. The callousness of Western duplicity has reached new heights that humanity is not accustomed to. Where is the West’s moral compass and human rights standards when Israel slaughters Palestinians at will, Russia covers up the killing fields in Chechnya, India desecrates the daily lives of the Kashmiris, and China routinely carries out extra-judicial killings of Muslims in East Turkestan? The crimes of these states dwarf those committed by Gaddafi, but the West remains muzzled in its criticism. Then there is the bitter tyranny of the Saudi and Syrian regimes against their own people, the savagery of the Bahraini monarchy, and the cruelty of the Yemeni government. The West has hitherto chosen not take any punitive measures against these regimes and has played down military intervention. This selective application of western values has left an ineffaceable impression on the Muslim masses about the West’s true intentions.
Nevertheless, despite the West’s colonial suppression of Muslim masses and years of propping-up dictatorial regimes, a silver lining is fast emerging that makes uncomfortable reading for both the West and their agent despots. In a recent poll, the University of Maryland surveyed Muslims in Indonesia, Egypt, Pakistan, and Morocco, and found that 77% agree to unify all Islamic countries into a single Islamic state. The quest for the return of the Caliphate is no more a dream, but a reality that is shaping the contours of current thinking regarding alternative political systems for both Muslims and non-Muslims alike. In an IBD/TIPP poll, 61% of Americans believe that the establishment of the Caliphate is likely in the next 10 years.
The West through its own handiwork has already lost the Muslim masses, and now the inner power circles of other loyal agents to Western powers must be teetering on who to support. The choice is a simple one— the very same colonial powers that someday will intervene and hound them out of power or to support the ummah and re-establish the Caliphate that will make them heroes overnight . If I were a general, I know what I would be supporting.
“The callousness of Western duplicity has reached new heights that humanity is not accustomed to.” I am afraid that for a long time now the world has been accustomed to Western malicious propaganda, bombing and looting of property.
“Where is the West’s moral compass and human rights standards, ….?” For thousands of years the moral compass has been the Ten Commandments. But all that is now gone because the commandments stood for the most basic and absolute human right to the truth, life and ownership of property fifth, sixth and eight referring to truth, life, and ownership of property.
And maybe we should not forget the seventh, ninth and tenth commandment which are completely ignored in the modern Western world.
Well to start with, Col. Gaddafi is not a brutal dictator and as many of us in the West and by hundreds of millions elsewhere.
Col.Gaddafi cannot be compared to those donkeys in other States that are secretly hated by their populance.
None of those donkeys have done for their women what Muammar Gaddafi has done for Libyan women, for the defenceless and for the downtrodden all over the world.
Have any donkeys in other States decided on a Gold Standard to empower their people?
Do these Donkey States have free education, free health care, free housing?
If you look on Google Earth you will find that Libya is becomming a garden of Eden with green abounding right into the desert sands.
We know that Libya has a unique democracy and Government called Jamahiriya.
In fact we know enough to seek variants of Jamahiriya for our own Western Nations.
Indeed, ‘Direct Democracy’ is now being pushed as a proposal by common people in USA.
Whether the detractors of Col. Gaddafi realise it or not, Col. Muammar Gaddafi will be remembered in History in many capacities.
Some will call him ‘Father’ in deep affection.
Some will call him ‘Brother’ with such bond.
Some will call him ‘king of kings’ knowing his strength and benevolence.
I view him as the strong man of Africa,
who is a Noble Knight and has helped so many people in need.
Equally, I think the Libyan people will be also be thought of with great esteem because they produced this Noble Knight of the highest Order, who has fought for the downtrodden and defenceless, the world over.
We therefore thank the Libyan people for being who they are and we will not forget what has happened.
I can tell you now, every day that this war against Libya by NATO/USA/alQaeda/Rebels continues, the greater our numbers become in western nations that support Muammar Gaddafi/ family and the Libyan people.
The Libyan people will triumph against these Crusader Jackals and the other Terrorist groups that attack them.
When that happens the common people of the Western Nations will crush their criminal leadership by using the plenary force of the law.

the previous comments by Stephen above are clearly written by a foreigner and not a Libyan who has lived under the tyranny of the despot. lets make a deal and swap places, I will go to those wonderful aussies and stephen can have a temp homestay in a tripoli slum and join the tyrant on his final days in our soon to be capital. liberty is what it isall about stephen which obviously you have no concept of, amazes me just how did you deserve or pass the entry exam into ausssieland where har working people struggle to build a new life from scratch.
This is a funny comment, given that the commenter’s IP address is from Germany.
vvalison, what ever your name has been brain washed into perpetual mental slavery, your country’s wealth is constant target of some vampire states, your so called democratic state of USA has a law called ‘patriot act’ ever heard of this law and it purpose, people who are anti Gaddafi are conspirators of the West especial the USA who had a military base in Libya which was removed by Gaddafi, the UK controlled oil Libyan Oil fields before the 1969 revolt lead by Gaddadi, what you guys are doing is reinstating the USA and UK dream, this time France wants part of the cake
Well vvalison, in our country we call people like you traitors.
Perhaps you might like to move to some other Arab States where there really are Despots.
vvalison, soon the West is going to decend into the depths of hell because of USURY and the corrupt Party Political system which runs these nations (elected dictatorships).
When that happens there will be enough pain felt by the common people, to rise up and take action according to law.
In some nations, there will be less law adhered to as the populance will be starving and angry.
Your grievances with Muammar Gaddafi will pail compared to what we in the West are now staring at.
The most telling thing about vvalisons comments are that nothing was mentioned about NATO/USA/alQaeda actions which have killed perhaps 1300 (or more) and wounded nearly 10,000.
If my family and friends were being murdered by Terrorists I would not be wasting my energy writing in the fashion above.
If Jamahirya is no good for you then too bad, the majority are behind Col. Gaddafi as well as themselves.
In the West, Libyan Rebels equate to alQaeda and so when we have finished bringing our own traitorous, criminal leaders to justice, we will then hunt down every last Rebel, CIA, French and British personel, that caused this present mess.

Millions of Vietnamese civilians were massacred and the country was brought to total destruction, this all began in 1962 when the US imposed a “No Fly Zone” on Vietnam. Let’s not make Libya another Vietnam, show your opposition to the bombing of innocent civilians and destruction of Libya by pledging your attendance on the 8th of October 2011: http://www.antiwarassembly.org/. Civilians are dying! Stop Bombing Libya!
