Libya, UN and political motives

The UN and NATO's goal of disabling Gaddafi's ability to use military violence against the Libyan people deserves merit. Any tyrant who uses military forces to subdue and repress the indigenous population cannot be allowed to continue such despotic methods. Yet despite the rhetoric, the political motivation must come under scrutiny. This writer wonders just what measures the governments of the countries deploying military measures against Libya would deploy against their own people if they too took to the same degree of protest as the Libyan people have. One must also consider the lack of any UN action regarding the similar violent action taken by government armed forces against civilians in Syria and Yemen. |
