Britain France and the US have now come clean. The article signed by Cameron, Sarkozy and Obama, and published today in Washington, Paris and London, makes clear the war on Libya is not about protecting civilians but about regime change. Having ignored peace moves from the African Union, NATO is now set on escalating the bombing.
The humanitarian spin they are putting on the operation is exposed by the fact that the Western governments continue to support brutal regimes in Yemen, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, where severe repression against democracy activists continues virtually uncriticised.
Meanwhile as predicted the bombing is claiming many civilian casualties and helping to deepen the division in the country. In response to the continued bombing and this open and illegal statement of intent, Stop the War has called a protest at Downing Street next Tuesday 19 April at 5pm.
IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.
Please attend if you can and spread the word as widely as possible. http://stopwar.org.uk/
PROTEST: STOP THE BOMBING OF LIBYA NOW
TUESDAY 19 APRIL, 5PM
DOWNING STREET, LONDON
I've heard some news clips say that Iran is to blame for the unrest in the Middle East and in Libya, that they are sending out activists to spur on the violence. Do you have any thoughts on that?
ReplyDeleteI have absolutely no doubt that Iran tries to infuence what is happening in countries in its region. Just as the West does with countries all over the world. That's what states do, they seek power and influence over other states, espaecially if they are rich in resources, oil for example.
