In the words of Former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney:
"The sad fact, however, is that it is the Libyans themselves, who have been insulted, terrorized, lynched, and murdered as a result of the press reports that hyper-sensationalized this base ignorance. Who will be held accountable for the lives lost in the bloodletting frenzy unleashed as a result of these lies?
Which brings me back to the lady's question: why is this happening? Honestly, I could not give her the educated reasoned response that she was looking for. In my view the international public is struggling to answer "Why?".
What we do know, and what is quite clear, is this: what I experienced last night is no "humanitarian intervention."
Many suspect it is about all the oil under Libya. Call me skeptical but I have to wonder why the combined armed sea, land and air forces of NATO and the US costing billions of dollars are being arraigned against a relatively small North African country and we're expected to believe its in the defense of democracy.
What I have seen in long lines to get fuel is not "humanitarian intervention." Refusal to allow purchases of medicine for the hospitals is not "humanitarian intervention." What is most sad is that I cannot give a cogent explanation of why to people now terrified by NATO's bombs, but it is transparently clear now that NATO has exceeded its mandate, lied about its intentions, is guilty of extra-judicial killings--all in the name of "humanitarian intervention." Where is the Congress as the President exceeds his war-making authority? Where is the "Conscience of the Congress?"
For those of who disagree with Dick Cheney's warning to us to prepare for war for the next generation, please support any one who will stop this madness. Please organize and then vote for peace. People around the world need us to stand up and speak out for ourselves and them because Iran and Venezuela are also in the cross-hairs. Libyans don't need NATO helicopter gunships, smart bombs, cruise missiles, and depleted uranium to settle their differences. NATO's "humanitarian intervention" needs to be exposed for what it is with the bright, shining light of the truth.
As dusk descends on Tripoli, let me prepare myself with the local civilian population for some more NATO humanitarianism.
Stop bombing Africa and the poor of the world!"
All Acts of State are humanitarian, by definition, as is implied by Tacitus long ago, when he said: "Idque apud imperitos humanitas vocabatur, cum pars servitutis esset."
If Russia had possessed the capability for mass-media lying that US-UK-Israel-NATO Alliance currently possesses, there would still be a Soviet Union.
Hey..Haven't we seen this before? Iraq, Yugoslavia? Egypt? Vietnam? Korea?
And finally an honest report..I don't believe it...This lady is telling the truth? The whole truth? Who is she?
"The world is far from what the average person thinks it to be and it real leaders are all but unkown to the masses"...to paraphrase Ben Disraeli...former Prime Minsiter of England...
Are you ready for the truth about 9-11...didn't think so...

The Nation of Islam Research Department gave ten (10) reasons why the US war in Libya is a CIA operation...
is there anything we can do to stop them? What is Chomsky doing? -
promoting pro-western "dissidents" a la Grubacic, as he did while NATO was destroying Yugoslavia?
Global Research doesn't need Chomsky. It's a bad name. Chomsky is nobody else but a Vatican puppet steering chaos
all around the world. His extraordinary enthusiasm for revolutions and blood shed betrays his true character. He has no respect for human life neither for Him who created it. For him humanity is just a herd of cattle (consumables). Fanny enough that GR has given no space to what a man of unparalleled integrity in modern times, Ron Paul has to say about peaceful coexistence of the nations and conflict resolutions.
Like democracy and freedom, humanitarianism is one of the primary masks of American aggression and tyranny the world over.
Whenever Americans spout their propaganda that they are promoting freedom, democracy, or humantarianism in some other coutnry, grab your gun.
The American Invaders are coming!
