It is NATO that should lay down their arms as they have very clearly abused the pretexts to which they were provided Resolutions 1970 and 1973.

The only problem is that NATO, as yet, has no adequate counterweight to reckon with and therefore is, for all intents and purposes, above justice.

The destruction of Libya's fleet is another step by NATO paving the way for a massive land invasion by NATO forces in the guise of a humaitarian intervention. NATO special forces on the ground leading the land operations in Libya together with Al-Qaida operatives and the CIA armed and Virginia trained LNA (Libyan National Army of US, Canadian, and European nationals of Linbyan origin under the command of US citizen of Libyan origin Khalifa Hafter have failed to crack the popular resistance movement of the Libyan Gemahiriya defence force. Obama and Europe have done a capital mistake in Libya by exposing themselves about the fact that Al-Qaida is in fact an undercover branch of the CIA. The forward fighting force of the so called rebels which NATO is supporting both logistically on the ground and in the air is Al-Qaida. The Usama Bin Laden assasination fable is but a desperate attempt to prove to US and world public opinion that this is not the case and that Al-Qaida is still the US and NATO's arch enemy. In fact the very excuse of US military presence in Africa through the Africa Command AFRICOM, is to help countries combat the Al-Qaida threat in Africa while in fact it is nothing more than US domination of Africa. 49 countries are under the US umbrella of AFRICOM with only Libya, Zimbabwe, Sudan and Ivory Coast refusing to join and stating they can combat Al-Qaida alone. All of these countries are under attack in some way or another by NATO and their leaders demonised. Unfortunately for Libya, the Libyan Gemahiriya had all but eradicated the Al-Qaida terror threat from that country, the very terror organisation which is the darling of the US thus stripping the US of its primary excuse to install a military base in Libya. So Europe and the US had to intervene to defend this CIA undercover branch renaming it for convenience sake "peaceful protesters", which then were re-named "rebels" and now "freedom fighters" or "democratic forces"??? We are now witnessing the build up to a massive ground invasion of Libya "for humanitarian reasons". All the defences of Libya are being destroyed but Libya has one major asset. The Libyan people and their overwhelming support for a political sytem which gave them direct political power; the right to propose and vote for laws themselves. This war is in fact also the war between the political party system which in the Green Book is called "partycracy", or political party dictatorship and direct popular democracy which is the Libyan Gemahiriya. Declaring that Gaddafi has some sort of executive power in Libya is an overstatement. Gaddafi is a figurehead in Libya, a symbol of unity and he is loved as the leader of the revolution who in 1977 handed all the power to the lLibyan people. Of course his word is still respected and has influence in Libya but in the end all decisions are taken by all the Libyan people themselves in People Congresses and in national referenda not by Gathafi. It has to be stressed that like all Libyan citizens Gathafi has the rright to speak at the General People's Congress and to propose laws which is the constitutionally protected right of every Libyan citizen but that it is not the first time that Gathafi's proposals have been voted against and rejected by the General People's Gemahiriya either in the General People's Congress or the Popular Local Congresses (referenda). The last time this happened was in February 2009 when Gathafi proposed a renegotiation of the agreement with western oil multinational companies so that the Libyan people would increase their stake in Libya's oil industry from the prersent 51% to 60% to offset the falling oil prices which were threatening the sustainability of the wellfare state in Libya. He also lashed out at ministers accusing them of corruption and of mispropriating oil revenues at the expense of the people proposing a law that would hand oil revenues in the form of a cheques directly to the Libyan people bypassing alltogether the ministers in the distribution of Libyas oil revenues. All thos corrupt ministers where going to be arraigned for embezilment and corruption in February 2011. But just a week before they had to appear in court this fake "uprising" occurred and all the ministers involved "defected to the opposition". For your information, according to Libyan Constitution ministers are just civil servants and technocrats on the pay roll of the people elected to debate and find the best way to enect the laws passed by the people themselves and not to take political or executive decisions
