La protección de civiles es la excusa, pero los indiscriminados ataques de la OTAN pretenden limpiar el camino a los rebelde s y acabar con Gaddafi. Occidente apetece l a Jamahiriya
Guerra humanitaria. Así llaman Estados Unidos y sus secuaces a la cruzada imperialista que están llevando contra Libia. ¿Acaso una guerra puede ser humanitaria? Esta al menos ha demostrado que no: cientos de muertos, importantes infraestructuras derruidas y hasta el uso de uranio empobrecido, totalmente nocivo para la salud humana. No obstante, Washington, París y Londres —los timones de esta aventura bélica antes de hacer el traspaso oficial a la NATO still crowing, "we will protect civilians." But the human damage were the first images of that dirty war. Why, if its purpose was to protect innocent lives launched its bombing? A reasonable decision of the Security Council before adopting resolution 1973, which paved the way for the use of force, might be sending observers to verify on the spot what was really going on. It was not for lack of insistence that the decision was not taken. The very Muammar al-Gaddafi asked him more than once, and some leaders, like Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez defended the possibility. However, the decision was to authorize a no-fly zone and an arms embargo and make hypocritical Gaddafi on the list of suspects of the International Criminal Court. Time, resolution 1970 had already imposed economic sanctions.
So far, the balance of this military adventure was the death of innocent citizens, destruction of military and civilian infrastructure, including hospitals and airports. A sad remake of the war against Yugoslavia in 1999 when he also brandished humanitarian reasons. In addition to military targets, NATO bombed indiscriminately and with prior planning power plants, government buildings, factories, schools and facilities sanitarias, algunas infantiles. ¡Verdaderos crímenes de guerra!
Sin embargo, para los jefes de la operación en Libia, las muertes de esos que dicen defender constituyen, sencillamente, «daños colaterales». El mismísimo ministro de Relaciones Exteriores del Reino Unido, William Hague, llegó a tener la desfachatez de decir que una «guerra humanitaria moderna» no produce la muerte de civiles.
Muchos medios de desinformación, los que multiplicaron rápido las presuntas «barbaridades» de Gaddafi, minimizan los reportes de muertes y ensalzan declaraciones desafortunadas como las de Hague para convencer de que realmente las potencias son las «heroínas» que buscan save the Libyan people and give the path "to democracy." Even sold the suffering of grieving for their dead as a "charade" of Gaddafi, who said he had ordered to perform funeral false.
victims of NATO bombing of the U.S. Tomahawk missiles or aircraft French and English, are not necessary. While, yes there is much talk of civil war that leaves incited by the West: the Allies are not just a foreign force involved in an internal conflict, whose bombardment clears the way for those who seek to overthrow the government.
One of the initial steps of France, the first attack, was to recognize the opposition and legitimate representative of Libya, Tripoli de-legitimizing the government.
U.S. wants to arm the rebels, and that does not interest the arms embargo established by resolution 1973. Already there have been meetings between the rebels and representatives in Washington to discuss the possibility and financial support. Secretary of State's own Hillary Clinton, deemed as "legal" that can hardly new, having been handled by U.S. military and government sources before the war of aggression.
This idea is also shared by British Prime Minister, William Cameron, who, by his own interpretation involved, argues that the resolution states in a way to provide assistance to those who safeguard the public. If ultimately, the text adopted by the Security Council UN allows "all necessary measures" to protect civilians, each of these leaders do their own reading, and forget the principles that speak of violation of the zero independence and sovereignty of the Jamahiriya.
Another suggestion Cameron that nation is divided into two parts. British military officials also insist on organizing and training the insurgents, and for that they want to hire private security companies, some of which feature former elite soldiers Special Air Service.
The real objective is to kill Gaddafi to establish a new government according to the interests of the powers. In fact, an American diplomat to discuss this week in Benghazi with representatives of the National Transition Council, proclaimed as the sole representative of the Libyan people are interested in the proposal to establish this government if they succeeded in overthrowing the government.
Paradoxes of hypocrisy
Why, if both are concerned about the "democracy", U.S. and its allies have invaded Saudi Arabia, Yemen or Bahrain? In these countries now is repressed those who demand political change. But they are allies, and the status quo of those nations guarantee them oil, control of transport routes and a strategic position to address Iran's influence.
bombed Why not Egypt? Could not risk the great support that represents The Cairo both the Iranian nuclear issue, as in the negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, and the fact that a retaining wall to supply the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in Gaza.
not a bomb has fallen in Morocco, which since 1975 has illegally occupied Western Sahara and in whose prisons are tortured independence of the only African country pending decolonization. Much less think that they could attack Israel, which occupies Palestine and its bombing has caused death in Gaza. Not a word of condemnation.
However, Libya is one of scissors. Gaddafi has not been an easy man to the West over its policy of defending the sovereignty, not only his country but throughout Africa. Therefore, Washington considered to Libya and its leader as enemies and terrorists, and were therefore targeted by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the cold war. In 1986 U.S. President Ronald Reagan launched a military aggression against that nation that killed dozens of people, including a las hijas de Gaddafi.
Luego de décadas de tensiones, cuando en 2003 la ONU y Washington levantaron las sanciones a la nación africana por su programa nuclear, las empresas norteamericanas Occidental Petroleum Corp., Amerada Hess Corp y Chevron Texaco, entre otras, comenzaron a acercarse al petróleo libio. Muchas europeas también fueron al festín. Y Gaddafi se convirtió entonces en un «amigo» pero con reservas respecto a las intenciones de Occidente. Tampoco estaba dispuesto a doblegarse. Algunos de los cables de diplomáticos norteamericanos filtrados por Wikileaks demuestran la obsesión de la Casa Blanca por los pozos de petróleo libio y las dificultades que encontraban las trasnacionales para operar allí; including the requirement of Tripoli that left a greater share of profits to the state.
Colonel had to take the stage. It's what they do. First I would bet that the opposition, but when Gaddafi came closest to quell the rebellion, came the rush to a decision of the Security Council and the bombs started "humanitarian." If the rebellion failed, insurance would have to take their companies from the rich oil reserves in Libya.
However, even the military leaders in Washington doubt Gaddafi's defeat, the resilience of the loyalist forces. The rebels do not have much organization. As
its promoters predicted at the beginning, the operation might last longer than expected. And the U.S. ensures that the bombing will end only when Gaddafi leaves the office and the country, so many tricks they may be incorrectly even cooking. Death
uranium flavored
Stop the War Coalition (Stop the War Coalition) reported the use of depleted uranium in the offensive against Libya. Only the first day of the attack, the U.S. B-2 had dropped 45 bombs of 2 000 pounds each and happy, as launched cruise missiles, warheads with depleted uranium, a substance widely used in weapons and reactors nuclear.
Being very heavy
(1.7 times denser than lead), depleted uranium can penetrate armored vehicles and buildings. After the explosion a cloud of hot steam, and sits as a powder that is poisonous and radioactive.
After the explosion, the DU particles can lodge in the lungs or other organs for years and cause chromosome damage and kidney cancer, skin disorders and neurocognitive. Pregnant women exposed to this substance may give birth to babies with genetic defects.
EurActiv Network UN denounced the NATO air strikes could trigger an ecological catastrophe Libya and depriving millions of citizens of drinking water if damaged facilities Made River. Transport system is the world's largest aquifer, with 4 000 kilometers of pipeline through which circulate daily six million cubic meters of this resource from well fields in the Sahara to coastal cities in the north. The artificial river runs through the regions of Brega, Ajdabia and Benghazi, which concentrate the bombing.
Under Libyan dryland is an underground ocean, called system Nubian Sandstone Aquifer, which is the largest in the world. It could also be an interest of the aggressors.
