Reply #161: MM, you know the main reason I stopped doing those is because they were from expats

with perfect english. They were all in the UK or the US. Unlike the Egyptian and Tunisian revolutions where we were getting information from the ground, these were all expats and things started adding up in an unsettling way. Then I found the recent neocon letters about Libya, about arming rebels and partitioning it, read the wikileaks, considered the input of people I respect like Chomsky and Galloway among many others, watched Obama circumvent the constitution to team up with Cameron and Sarkozy who are 2 of the biggest war hawks on this planet and I realized I'd been blindsighted.

Most Libyans don't even speak English. Who's tweeting? Unlike the original Egyptians or the Tunisian revolutionaries, who btw distanced themselves from the Libyan uprising, the people in Benghazi have no social agenda for reform. Please keep your mind open because this is going to cost the US a bundle in cash and goodwill throughout the Arab world. We're being had.

If this was a true revolution, which I no longer think it is, people would have risen up from everywhere, not just Bengazhi and the surrounding cities. The neocons are pulling at our heartstrings to support a regime changed the planned in the original PNAC documents over 15 years ago.

While our empires cry over loss of life in Libya, they're arming the same Arab League monarchies who are brutally slaughtering people in places like Bahrain, Yemen, Morocco, Algeria... Bahrain has brought in mercenaries from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to slaughter their protesters but our media and government only pump up the volume on Libya. It's a real bloody mess where innocent people are being used to support an intervention.

My words probably won't sway you but I hope you'll consider them. I didn't stay up for hard sleepless weeks because I was against them. But I've realized since that they're being used and so are we.
