America and its allies are performing missile attack on Libya. They are helping the rebels to oust Qaddafi from power. Why America is pocking nose in Libya's internal affair? Let Libyans solve their own problem. Is America is the guardian of the world? It is better to oil own machine. When America will stop it's imperialist goal?

Why is it that you believe this is an American operation when it's been widely reported that the military action currently ongoing in Libya is the result of United Nations Resolution 1973? America is part of a coalition of many other nations who are all taking some kind of action against Qaddafi's military at this time...but we're always the country singled out and blamed.

Your right about that. I forgot that the UN is the one who's running the operation in libya not the Americans.

Judging by what you posted below you also seem to have forgotten that Qaddafi's military has been killing unarmed citizens, which is what the coalition is trying to stop. Other measures were taken in an attempt to get him to stop the killing before the U.N. voted to institute a No Fly zone, which is keeping him from bombing his own people, from bombing hospitals and his military from murdering them in their homes. Did all of you who support him miss his speech where he talked about the military going door to door and showing "no mercy and no pity"?
China has a history of non-involvement in the affairs of other countries and that is their choice. That does not mean that the rest of the world should stand by and ignore the unjustified murder of innocent people. The Arab League is supporting this action as well. That should give you some indication of how strongly they object to what's going on in Libya.

One has to go into the distant past to get a clear picture about Libya and Qaddafi's rule.Qadaffi is actively involved in terrorism and has been openly supportive of any kind of separatist movement that muslims practice in other parts of the world, so when it comes to his own country men why is he not giving it any importance ?Doe he expect to rule Libya all his life without giving into people's wishes?
As for China, it has always been a dictatorship kind of rule, one only has to read about Tiana men square protests in 1989 and the way they massacred people . I doubt if their opinion really counts or if it can be seen as wholly unbiased...
However, I feel sorry for libyans since they are being hounded from both sides...

Funny you should say this. First of all, it was the UN not the US. Second, the UK and France took the lead here. Third, tell every body to stop calling the us for the TRILLIONS in foreign aid we dole out every year. Fourth, I feel safe in saying that most Americans would LOVE to leave the UN, keep our money and ignore the rest of the world.

In this case, I agree. Let the people deal with their own problems. They can kill each other if they like. It is time for American troops to come home.
The US efforts are generally not appreciated by other countries, so I say we are wasting our money and lives.

Hi djbtol,
I agree to you.
If someone never appreciate of what they are contributing, we should let them extinct by themselves.
However, many people never understand that the internal problem of a country will extend to the whole world.
American are kind. American learned a lot after bombing by the Japanese troop during the Second World War.
America is helping the world to stop those terrorists extending their power to the whole world.
With the oil, those mad people can control us all around the world.

Hi bhanu, I am not sure if the issue is all that simple. You may be knowing that Qaddafi has been involved in a lot of terrorist activities , openly declaring support for al qaida and other terror outfits. He was also involved in the bombing of an american plane etc etc;One cannot go on controlling a nation and rule it like a dictator, which is what Qaddafi is. Now it is the United Nation which after having given enough warnings has decided to attack Libya and USA is also a part of the United Nation...

Hi kiran, you man know that American lawmakers disagree the policy of intervention of President Obama. According to them Obama should take consent of the Congress before attacking Libya. Every dictator bows down to mass upsurge and ultimately Qaddafi also do that. For this no foreign intervention is needed. Yes USA is part of United Nations. But the gear is in America's hand.

From now, I understand the reason the terrorists were born.
To totally eliminate the terrorists in this world, we must educate them since they were young.
Then only the mindset of the terrorists can be changed.
Terrorism acts are not acceptable in the world.

Hi bhanusb.
You are right about the oil, only it for the oil that they are interfering with Libyans affairs. They think they are the most righteous people int the world.
They send their CIA to other country to unbalance the government to suit to their agenda. Who make them the police of the world. Their allies are even worst. Scared to say no since they owe their peace to the US per say.

When the late Saddma Hussein of Irag sent his troop to concord the Kuwait, only the America helped the Kuwait to collect back their land.
Now, the problem in Libya is concerning the world.
The army of a nation is to protect the people of the nation.
I can't imagine their own army killed their own civilians inclusive the children.
Is it a hell place for the terrorists or mad animals to stay?
We should appreciate of what the allies troops are doing, to support the humanness aids and stop their extension to other places.

If you don't want other people to call them terrorist, they should not involve in terrorism acts.
The Obama bin Laden admitted that he were intelligent to melt the whole world trade center in New York.
The whole people in the world read or watched this news before.

The lie about US Imperialism rears its ugly head once again.
The US and the UN could leave Qadaffi to murder Libyans at will, but what good is it doing simply acting like that is his right?
There are already outside groups and nations on the ground in Libya. Should the US or anyone else simply stand by and let those groups become the face of freedom for Libyans?
How many of those groups actually want freedom for Libyans?
If the free world isn't willing to become the face of freedom for Libyans, someone else will.. someone who could be just as vile as Qadaffi.
I also take issue with the inhuman idea that Qadaffi somehow has the right to murder Libyans simply because he runs the country.

Hi Para, I agree Qaddafi is a dictator and killed many Libyans. But he made nomad people a nation. He made desert Libya a green country. He made his country to stand on its own feet. This may be his fault. He is disobedient to America and its European allies. So he must be punished. Let be crowned a puppet government(in the name of democracy).

"When America will stop it's imperialist goal?"
When the rest of the world stops asking America to step in and do something. Every time something happens the rest of the world wants America to be the savior. We have problems of our own. I agree let others solve their own problems. Next time your or any other country is in trouble don't expect America to step in and see what happens.

Hi dreamy. it's your wrong idea. Rest of the world don't think America is the savior. Did the Iraqis invite America to invade their country. But America did that. Why the Americans attacked Afghanistan? There are so many example of this nature. You said, you have problems of your own. Let solve your problems. It is better not to invite America to solve our problems. We don't want to bring a crocodile by digging a canal.

im an american and ive thought the very same thing. we have so many problems of our own right here. why do our government stick their nose into more wars? i dont understand. its things like this that is causing lots of us to loose faith in our own politicians.

Right. Because the correct way to handle these things is to pretend nothing's going on and that people's lives don't matter if they're in another country.
The peaceful are awfully weird with their tolerance. They're willing to tolerate mass murder but America stepping in is the last straw.
America doesn't have to be guardian of the world. In this instance, America sat back and waited for more and more to die while other countries got their sh1t together.
Someone has to get rid of evil. Who's going to do it? You?
"Let Libyans solve their own problem."
Fine. Let that maniac murder thousands more and reestablish his position as a terrorist dictator. He might show up in India. GL!

Yes materfish I agree Qaddafi is a dictator. America random bombing in Afghanistan to crash Tale bans. But innocent people are being killed almost everyday by this bombing. Is it not terrorist activity of America? Accept Hamid Karjai and his loyal ministers Afghan people are hostile to America and it's allies. I hope once American people will raise their voice against their government's policy of intervention.

Loyalists of Qaddafi and members within the Libyan government and Qaddafi-controlled army are saying that air strikes are killing people.
News cameras and crews within the country are unable to find a single shred of evidence to support these accusations.
Propaganda is nothing new.
While America fights its other wars, attempting to snuff out terror, terrorists release false reports of Americans killing innocent civilians. Unfortunately, even millions of people in America believe these stories and never question the source. The truth of the matter is that these so-called righteous terrorists, doing their god's will, hide behind innocent women and children and blow up fellow believers every single chance they get.
I do not believe a single word uttered from the mouth of evil. Evil cannot recruit using truth. It has never been able to.
It takes brainwashing and propaganda campaigns to bring people over to that side.
Saying something like "Help us kill your fellow countrymen so a greedy dictator can keep power" doesn't get people riled up for the cause.
But something like "Join forces against the American enemy, because they're killing innocent children as we speak" gets the fists in the air.
We're talking a guy in Qaddafi who put out the order to kill Americans, who allows terrorists to train in his country, and who slaughters his own people if they rise up against him. What does he do if he retains power? It's fairly obvious the Libyan rebels cannot overthrow him.
So that's just Libya's problem then?
If Libya was a moon of Earth and not a country I would agree with you. But this type of thing can spread. Hell hath no fury like a coward scorned. You think he will suddenly become a good guy once he kills all who oppose him?

I too is against America, though I am not an ANTI-America; but I'm against of what they are doing. So too is for the British and the French. These countries all think about is killing people, not on solving problems in a peaceful manner, even the opposing side is hard to negotiate with. They just want to show the world how powerful they are with their military, but little they know that China too is a powerful nation but unlike america they don't pocking in other nations problem by Bombing its cities and people. Hope someday America and its allied nations will be more peaceful in negotiating other nations internal affairs.

Hi natjohn. I too is not against the peace loving people of America. In the name of saving Libyan people they are killing the innocent people of that country. Yes no doubt America and its allies are powerful. But are they want to establish 'might is right'! I too hope America and its allied will be more reasonable in interfering others internal affairs.
