Paying the Price” – Again.

Now Libya’s people are “paying the price”, for being, well, Libyan, I am reminded of another people that, to use the words of the appalling Madeleine Albright, then US., Ambassador the the UN., were : ” … a price worth paying.” She was talking of the deaths of half a million Iraqi children, on 12th May 1996.

I feel sorry for Libyans. But similar fate also expects other nations, which have rich natural resources – oil, gas, ores, arable lands and fresh water. Though these resources were given to them by God ‘the new Crusaders’ think that they don’t deserve these gifts. We should be ready that the Libyan scenario may repeat in other countries.

Libya and Yemen — Study in Contrast By Prabir Purkayastha

Leave a comment

22 March 2011 — MRZine

It is now clear that the no-fly zone has been expanded in Libya to a military campaign for a regime change, something that the UN Security Council did not authorize.  Gaddafi’s residence in Tripoli has been bombed and more strikes are taking place in Tripoli and other towns.  The argument of course is that Gaddafi’s residence is a military target as it has a command and control centre — a fig leaf to argue why Gaddafi can be targeted anywhere.

Of Principle and Peril By the Editors of MERIP

Leave a comment

22 March 2011 — Middle East Research and Information Project

Reasonable, principled people can disagree about whether, in an ideal world, Western military intervention in Libya’s internal war would be a moral imperative. With Saddam Hussein dead and gone, there is arguably no more capricious and overbearing dictator in the Arab world than Col. Muammar al-Qaddafi. The uprising of the Libyan people against him, beginning on February 17, was courageous beyond measure. It seems certain that, absent outside help, the subsequent armed insurrection would have been doomed to sputter amidst the colonel’s bloody reprisals.

I assume that to some, I daresay to the majority of Western citizens, it must be a relief to see that ‘our’ force for good has not lost its momentum – that humanitarian benevolence which characterizes the self-portrait we paint of our societies as we ponder on our own exceptionalism, our magnanimity.

Muammar Gaddafi announced a war against imperialism in the first address he has given to his supporters in days, all while coalition forces continue air-strikes on Libya for the fourth consecutive night.

Haiti: The media blackout on Aristide’s historic and triumphant return to a celebrity welcome

In this essay, I post six videos from the alternative news media – four from Democracy Now!, one from Aljazeera dealing with the huge and celebrity welcome for Aristide. The last video is by a young Haitian on the March 20th fantasy the US is calling an “election” in Haiti. (See, Haiti Abstains).

The purpose of this post, complete with Ezili HLLN’s on-the-ground-report of Aristide’s historic return to a celebrity welcome, is to tell our stories and honest vignettes of the historic return. Stories the mainstream media will not deign to record… (Go to, http://bit.ly/gP20mI)
