Will Libya get better or join the tragedy of Afghanistan and Iraq due to vested American interests?<br /><br />For the purpose of public relation exercises the West prefer submissive democracies that toe the American lines but it loves tyrants who ally with Washington<br /><br /><br />There are certainly external pressures and there could also be marginal plots instigated and supplied from outside with a big plan for a "profitable" future.<br /><br />It is terribly sad that the ME rulers and OIC do not work hard in sorting out the political and economic problems of their people. As long as they depend on the West in manufacturing, industrial and economic development, this game as we have witnessed in Iraq will go on, benefiting the MIC of the West not the local Arabs.Mohamed Ameenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13587287671883735781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2497606215855812307.post-1924562603617091342011-10-22T20:10:11.473+08:002011-10-22T20:10:11.473+08:00Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has clearly lost power, it...Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has clearly lost power, it is not certain who has gained it. The anti-regime militiamen that are now streaming into the capital were united by a common enemy in Gaddafi but not much else. How is Nato going to do arm twisting?<br /><br />The question remains open as to how the rebels can peaceably convert their foreign-assisted victory on the battlefield into a stable peace acceptable to all parties in Libya. Or will they ruin the nation as it was the case in Afghanistan and Iraq?<br /><br />What happened in Afghanistan? The anti-Taliban forces in Afghanistan won military success by foreign air support but destroyed the nation due to tribal wars.<br /><br />In Iraq, the Americans were over-confident after the easy defeat of Saddam Hussein. Most Iraqis were glad to see the end of Saddam Hussein, but the struggle to replace him destroyed the country.<br /><br />Will the same thing happen in Libya? In Tripoli, as in most oil states, the government provides most jobs and many Libyans did well under the old regime. <br />How will they now pay for being on the losing side? The air was thick yesterday with calls from the TNC for their fighters to avoid acts of retaliation. <br /><br />It is far too early to know if this is a piece of foreign-inspired wishful thinking or will have some beneficial effect on developments. Will Libya get better or join the tragedy of Afghanistan and Iraq due to vested interests?”Mohamed Ameenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13587287671883735781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2497606215855812307.post-64692964949004273682011-10-22T20:05:44.708+08:002011-10-22T20:05:44.708+08:00The world wanted an end to Gaddafi’s rule. Gaddaf...The world wanted an end to Gaddafi’s rule. Gaddafi has finally fallen on his own sword. Is the Arab world pleased? <br /><br />One battle is over. Gaddafi is gone. But the multiple battles are going to start. Conflicts between NATO's men and the fighters and their supporters on the ground, and conflicts between the foreign forces that have spent billions in the war on Gaddafi: <br /><br />The vacuum created by Gaddafi's departure is now filled by a sharp polarisation between the rival Libyan camps between pro-Gaddafi and anti Gaddafi Libyans <br /><br />It is a contest between an independent Libyan economic nationalism and one dominated as we see in all Arab lands by the West. Will the west allow this? <br /><br />These conflicts are part of the wider scene in the region, which is characterised by polarisation between the internal dynamics of the revolution and the foreign powers' logic of containment and calculated economic control and political domination as we see in KSA <br /><br />These foreign powers' strategy is to change the old players with new ones. The neo-colonisation game rules are intact. The West will as usual initiate proxy wars manned via allied local elites, thus packing the same wine in a new bottle as they have been doing in Tunisia and Egypt.<br /><br />In the end the people of Libya are the losers. The masses should never support a regime change that is backed by Western powers as it does not create the necessary change from the point of independent economic nationalism.Mohamed Ameenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13587287671883735781noreply@blogger.com
