what NATO or the US is waiting for??? more 6000 dead??? do you have something to say , Miss Slama??
2. Why are their Arab brothers keeping shtum?
Israel   (03.02.11)
Just IMAGINE what would have happened had Israel killed 6,000 Arabs? Why are they keeping so quiet? I guess it's OK for an Arab to kill another Arab, warped, but true.
3. Where is the hue and outcry?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.02.11)
1,200 dead in Operation Cast Lead, 800 of them terrorist operatives, and the world is in a furor. 6,000 innocent civilians dead in ONE WEEK in Libya, and the world yawns. If that is not the height of hypocrisy, I'm hard pressed to think what is. If that is not the
4. "6000 dead" "possible crimes against humanity" does it take
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (03.02.11)
a rocket scientist to figure out the word "possible" is not needed? The world is dicking around with it's thumb up it's arse thinking about a no-fly zone while madman's planes are bombing people. Remember, Jews gave money to elect this incompetent muslum obumma who could in an instant put up a no-fly zone and yet he ponders his navel while people die.
5. We killed 4000 today in abortion clinics in the United
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (03.02.11)
States. And as a conservative......I'm supposed to be appalled by this tiny number? Obama's party supports more killing of humans than Libya's leader will ever accomplish.
6. And what does Erdogan has to say? IIRC, he said

Muslims don't kill Muslims

Leave the US out of this. We don't want to spend any more money or shed any blood to fight another war. You should be saying where are the Middle Eastern/African armies and Israel if you are really concerned about stopping somebody. I bet you wouldn't want any of your fellow country men dying over Libya.
8. #3 he is not comparable to Israel, Gadaffi is more evil

Gaddafi asks UN, NATO to probe Libya events Published: 03.02.11, 14:51 / Israel News Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi called on Wednesday for the United Nations and NATO to investigate the facts about what had happened in Libya, and said he saw a conspiracy to colonise Libya and seize its oil. "I dare you to find that peaceful protesters were killed. In America, France, and everywhere, if people attacked military stores and tried to steal weapons, they will shoot them," he said in a speech. He urged the United Nations and NATO to "set up fact-finding committees" to find out how people were killed, adding that he saw a "conspiracy to control Libyan oil and its land." (Reuters) COMMENT - I SE 3 OPTIONS HERE - ONE - GHADAFFI ARE SEEKING FOR TIME TO HINDER A MILITARY INTERVENTION AGAINST HIM. SECONDLY - SURELY GHADAFFI HAS AN INTELLIGENCE OR SECRET SERVISE, AND KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT. THIRDLY - IS BOUTH ABOVE TOGHETER. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT AL-QAEDA SEEKS ANOTHER BASE FOR THEIR OPERATIONS, A BASE NEARER WHERE THEY INTEND TO OPERATE ? HMMM ?. Orao.Srbia.
10. To: No. 8
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.02.11)
Agreed. So where is the international hue and outcry? Israel takes measured and necessary steps to put an end to daily missile barrages from Gaza, and the world is in an uproar. The madman in Tripoli massacres 6,000 of his own people in ONE WEEK, and it's business as usual. I don't know what you call it, but I call it blatant hypocrisy. Can you blame Israel for not really caring about international condemnations of the actions it takes to secure the safety and security of its civilian populations? Israel has been driven to that response by the outrageous hypocritical behavior -- or lack thereof -- by the international community of nations. Which .... as far as I am concerned .... paves the way for Israel to do whatever it takes to deal with existential threats on its borders. Whatever it takes. The international community be damned. International principles must be applied even-handedly, otherwise they have no validity. You cannot pick and choose your spots.

Better abort them than to bring them into a world unloved and not wanted, You are stupid to compare an abortion to people wanting a better life - even dying for it.
12. human rights.
cosmopolitist ,   planet earth   (03.02.11)
gadaffi already deserves the death penalty for violating human rights, crimes against humanity/his own people/mankind (maybe even for committed/committing genocide). and the other 70 dictatorial regimes/cliques/gangs in this world have committed/commit the same crimes even to their own peoples. the un and the international community (the free, democratic world) should also take measures against those criminals. nobody/not any people deserves to live under a dictatorship/occupation/slavory. for a free and democratic world for all of us everywhere and always!

Orao. ,   Srbia.   (03.02.11)
SO YOU ENDORSE MURDER TO COVER UP FOR SINS. THIS SIN OF ABORTION GOD HAS AN ANSWER TO IN HIS WORD - THE PUNISHMENT WILL BE ABORTION OF THE US. Orao.Srbia.
14. To: Steve at No. 5
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.02.11)
Steve, with all due respect, this is not the proper forum for a discussion of abortion. Moreover, for better or for worse, abortion is fully legal under United States law -- sometimes it is even necessary, and that includes third trimester abortions, if the mother's life is endangered because of toxemia or eclampsia. It's a loaded topic and, given conflicting beliefs concerning when a foetus is considered to be viable, and when does "life" begin, probably not an appropriate topic for this forum. The foregoing notwithstanding, the 6,000 Libyans massacred by their government this week were very much alive. No debate necessary or required.
15. Human rights in Libya
Dallasgoldbug ,   Dallas USA   (03.02.11)
PEOPLE, don't fall for the media BS. The US is trying to trick you into thinking this is really happening. Look at RT on Youtube and you will see the story that Russia is watching from spy satellites and is saying it is not happening like the US media is telling you. See through the lies and perception management campaigns.
