Do the Americans want complete anarchy in the Middle East to justify their massive defence budgets?

After seven odd assassination attempts over the last four decades, it was on October 20, 2011, that one of the most successful Libyan leaders Muammar Gaddafi kissed the most brutal and disgraceful death. Libyan fighters snapped him out of his ‘hole’ and shot him to death. His body, half naked, completely wounded, shambled hairs and bloodied was then delivered as prized possession to Misrata (a city near Sirte) where it was put on public display as a token of victory for the rebels. And with it came an end of the era, which Gaddafi built over 40 years. And with his end, the US again proved its double standards to the world!

Yes Gaddafi was a ruler who made a lot of personal wealth the way perhaps many other rulers in India and many other countries try to do. He ruled with an iron fist but then many other rulers across the world do the same. But here are some facts about Gaddafi. Under his rule and his economic policies, Libya’s human development indicators improved so much that it was ranked as a nation that had highest per capita GDP in Africa, best education index and also an exceptional human development index.

During his rule, women had the best of access to equality in the whole of Arab world. Yes, many people did revolt against him due to his iron fist rule, but that doesn’t necessarily make him the kind of evil that the western media has been trying to portray in the last few months. The ire of the west lies actually in the fact that Gaddafi was the real mastermind behind OPEC that virtually transferred billions of petro dollars from the western coffers to the Arab world. And that is something that the west hasn’t been able to forget or forgive.

Let me state clearly that this is no way an attempt to defend Gaddafi or his iron fist policies. The attempt is to bring forth the American double standards by taking a simple look at the three regimes which have been overthrown in Libya, Egypt and Iraq because there can be nothing more shameful than what US is doing to the entire Middle East and Africa. Not only they have been supporting the dictators with arms but with this act, they have overthrown three most successful regimes of the region to quench their lust for oil.

Gaddafi was killed for US selfishness to suppress the lust for oil... and very cleverly US govt. proved that the sinner culprit was finished.
Abinaba said…
US govt. already planned to target those countries who try to improve their capitalism... & grow financially as happened in Libya from last four decades...
Tinku Sharma said…
Gaddafi reform the condition of Libya in last 40 years by improving women's equality to educate & earn, standard of living of Libyan people ... etc. That is the reason he ruled 40 years.

US govt. showing his power on the world and betrayed face behind the mask & try to show them as peace-maker.
We can not blame complete US govt for everything. Some lope hole exist in Gaddafi's side also... this is the reason that he has to face huge public ire & his own people not supporting him.

On one hand US makes Obama the president of the United States... On the other side adopts dictorial attitude towards other countries such as Libya, Egypt & Iraq.
US provoked Pakistan govt. against India and encouraged terrorist activities. They provided financial support & weapons for these activities and at last they got back counterattack themselves.

Arindam, you are kinda simplifying things. You cannot, in one simple sentence, conclude that the "US has double standards and helped dictators" especially when that "help" lasted for several decades. The stuff is more complex than that. When a middle eastern nation throws up a dictator who runs a govt, all other countries will be forced to engage in trade, talks, politics etc with him as he is the head of state - When Indira Gandhi declared emergency and the govt was dissolved she was still the head of state till elected out (or in her case assassinated). Remember India too had strong links with Gaddafi - we had an embassy/ambassadors there and we are friendly with Iran. Thats the way the world works - its human nature. Dont blatantly blame the US. When the people revolted the world including the US took sides - thats not double standards, thats how politics plays. India did that to a small extent in SriLanka ! We have to take sides eventually. Blaming the US for all the woes of humanity is crazy and naive !

  86% Indians fear losing their jobs due to the Pandemic as per a recent online survey. The fear has completely stopped economic activities and spending. We must remove the fear and start the economy. For that we need to guarantee everyone that jobs or no job, they will be economically secure through a minimum unemployment allowance (double of which should be the minimum wages). It requires a simple four step process: 1. Create an online database of job seekers based on their Adhaar Card number. 2. Make it totally illegal to employ anyone for any kind of job without registering his/her Aadhaar Card number. 3. The moment Adhaar Card number is fed in the list of employed, it gets automatically removed from the job seekers register and they stop getting unemployment allowance. 4. Everyone getting unemployment allowance will have to necessarily do 4 hours of social and community service as directed by the registry. Employers will also know who is seeking jobs where and their qualificat...
D ear Arvind Kejriwal, As my relatives, acquaintances and students die avoidable deaths; I am completely mad on the current regime at the centre. But for every death - in reality a MURDER - in Delhi, you have equal blood on your hands. You were sitting and spending 150cr advertising yourself just between Jan to March this year while the cases increased. You did nothing for the last one year when Delhi needed at least 20,000 extra ICU beds if not more. And each bed obviously means extra oxygen facility. You have no shame to say that PM CARES fund didn’t come. Didn’t you have calculations? You are from IIT. Didn’t you know that making a few oxygen plants cost nothing compared to your state budget and so called landmark health budget? And you are FOOLING EVEN TODAY by saying lies like tomorrow even if there are 30k cases per day Delhi is now going to be equipped. You are a congenital liar. In case your IIT brain can’t calculate properly, let me help you. For every reported case in Delhi, ...
No PM after being elected should ever again be allowed to abdicate his responsibilities and go missing during every crisis. To strengthen democracy in INDIA, the entire MEDIA should come together and demand a LAW which makes it mandatory forever for any PM of INDIA to interact with the media once every fortnight at least for 60 min, & take a minimum of 15 questions from different journalists - 5 each from leading print media, electronic media & online media - with top 20 media houses from each field getting minimum of one chance by rotation to ask questions every two months. This will permanently end the godi media fraud. We can never ever again let a leader of India be unanswerable to it’s people - who are represented by the media - or develop a cosy relationship with a few media houses and keep the people of the INDIA in dark.
