do you know what it means to have a revolution?


I believe in your ideals, and share them, and they are not ideals, they are realistic goals I assure you. However I think you've missed the bigger point of this thread, that with these rebels in Libya, just because they are not Gaddafi, does not inherently mean they are any better than Gaddafi, if anything, history has thousands of examples where it becomes quite worse.

These rebels are not sharing your ideals, they are just in it for the same thing as any other gunman and bandit, the money

I indeed addressed the bigger point in my post earlier in the thread.

As i said before, i accept that the rebels do not share all my ideals, but I dont think theyd be fighting against almost insurmountable odds just for the sake of a bit more money.

you might be surprised how little money people will kill over, its unfortunate really

Its sad indeed. But Gadaffi stamped much more than money on those people's heads, I just dont think they should be dismissed as moneygrabbers. The sale of oil to finance their operations are purely practical at the moment. If it gets to the stage where they instigate their own "Great Terror" then i'll be the first to denounce it.

There was genuine protests and uprisings in the country initially same as the rest of the broader region, but it was quickly coopted by Western stooges as while the Col. isn't any worse than all their other client dictators he does have problem in that he is independent.

THE LIBERAL MEDIA WANTS TO SILENCE ME!
THE JEWISH LOBBY IS PROTECTING ITS ASSETS ONCE AGAIN!
BBC BIAS! ITS ALL DOWN TO BBC BIAS!

edit: It seems its displaying a third page where none exists... this just adds fuel to the pyre of conspiracy... I cant trust noone on here any more...
