Their assault on Libya, claiming to defend lives of civilians in a humanitarian act, contrasts clearly with their deafening silence related to the killing of civilians in Bahrain, Yemen and most blatantly in their support for Israel waging its vicious assault in 2008/09, on Gaza, murdering hundreds of children and innocent civilians and destoying thousands of homes as well as schools and hoaspitals.

It is time that the world community puts pressure on Obama and his European allies to put an end to their neo-colonialism.

In fact, the US has been manoeuvred into a war by various European NATO members whose principal interest is to prevent Libya being used as a jumping-off point for illegal immigration into Europe and is doing everything in its ppower to avoid leading the operation! Europe was perfectly happy with Kadaffi. If he had won a quick victory against the rebels, Europe would still be happy with him. But Europe fears a long civil war or Somalia-type anarchy in Libya. It wants a stable government, any stable government, in Libya ASAP so that naval patrols preventing the immigrants from setting sail can be resumed, as has already happened in Tunisia. Whether the method chosen will achieve that goal is, of course, another debate!
