These were the civilians that eventuallybecame “rebels” given arms by the West to overthrow Gaddafi in a movementcalled “liberating Libya”. Arming locals has become a new strategy to avoiddeaths to coalition forces while NATO is tasked to take on theindiscriminate air strikes. So what has been the cost for killing a man whohas ruled a nation for 42 years without debt to the IMF or the World Bank?It took 8 months for US-NATO to take over Libya, the pro-US LibyanGovernment may celebrate & rejoice but that celebration is as short-lived asthe jubilations in Iraq & Egypt where the people are beginning to realizetheir country would have still been better off with Saddam Hussein & HosniMubarak!  The world needs to know that Gaddafi gave Libyans. Education in Libya isfree to everyone from elementary school right up to university andpost-graduate study, at home or abroad, Libyans enjoy free health care,ratio of one doctor per 673 citizens. Libyans are given interest freehousing loans, free land for farmers. In 2010, Libya ranked 53rd on theHuman Development Index (out of 170 U.N. memberstates),<http://hdr.undp.org/en/media/Lets-Talk-HD-HDI_2010.pdf>makingit a “high human development” country, electricity is free for allits citizens. if a Libyan buys a car, the government subsidized 50% of theprice. price of petrol in Libya is $0.14 per litre. Libya has no externaldebt and its reserves amount to $150 billion – now frozen globally A motherwho gave birth to a child receives US$5,000.  40 loaves of bread in Libyacosts $ 0.15.  25% of Libyans have a university degree, All newlyweds in Libyareceive $60,000 Dinar (US$50,000) by the government to buy their firstapartment so to help start up the family. Prior to the internationalsanction placed on Gaddafi & Libya in the 1980s, it was one of the richestin the world by GDP per capita – with a living standard higher than Japan.It was the richest in Africa before the revolution. Libya is the onlycountry in North Africa where terrorists do not exist. Fundamentalists haveno voice whatsoever in Libya. Not a single terror-incident has been recordedin Libya during Gaddafi’s regime. Gaddafi is no saint but the above examplesshow that the qualities of leadership that made Libya what it was need to bebenchmarked against what the US & West have in store for Libya that has beenpurposely destroyed to advance the agenda of the West.  With the death of Gaddafi the most important question is where are the50,000 people that Gaddafi is supposed to have killed prior to US-NATOforces attacking Libya? Clearly the “genocide” claim is a lie – a little toolate as the objective of killing Gaddafi has been achieved.It's another lie like the Weapons of Mass Destruction that Saddam was supposed to have stockpiled and was 'about' to unleash upon the world.   The number of civilian casualties as a result of US-NATO air strikes, rebelattacks & pro-Government forces range between 1000 & 10,000. These remainonly “estimates”. Mainstream media has erred in blaming deaths caused bypro-Gaddafi totally ignoring the reality that the majority of deaths wouldhave resulted by the indiscriminate bombing by US-NATO air strikes. NATOcannot deny that it has purposely targeted civilian infrastructure –hospitals (Al-Tajura Hospital & Saladin Hospital in Ain Zara), powergenerating facilities, water purification systems, TV stations & othercommunication networks, civilian airports, schools, government buildings &residential complexes. What has happened to the network of canals that was built to provide water to the remotest regions of this dry land.  The purpose of such bombings is obviously to destroythe country’s institutions. The UN Human Rights organization or other humanrights bodies seem to care little for the realism behind the exercise offreeing Libya & at the fatalities that has been caused by NATO which has nomandate whatsoever to carry out air strikes on Libya. What theseinternational bodies are doing to humanity is a shame & a crime for whichall of them must be tried for holding office & remaining silent over crimestaking place under false motives & concocted lies.   Thus the “humanitarian” bombing campaign part of the R2P agenda is part &parcel of a new military strategy carved by the West & a major component ofthis strategy is to destroy civilian infrastructure. This methodology wasapplied in Yugoslavia & Iraq where bridges, power plants, water systems,cultural & historical heritages, schools & hospitals were all identified as“legitimate military targets” validated in advance. In Yugoslavia thecivilian economy was the target.  The US military intervention in Libya has cost America USD896million. WhileUK tax payers have to fork out £200m & likely to cost up to £1bn & risingjust to kill one man! In all the operation to free Libya of Gaddafi wouldhave cost USD2billion.    The USA is morally and financially broke, uneducated and sick but it is itsarrogance that continues to think that all nations must bow down to USdictates. Gaddafi’s Libya will soon find out what it is like to live in acountry without Gaddafi’s charisma in a country that is soon likely to befleeced by the West. Where people will be broke, without money, hungry,paying for all services but reminded all the while that they are “free,liberated & enjoying the fruits of human rights”. In the meanwhile, the USwill ensure friction amongst tribes in Libya so that turmoil will prevailjust like they are doing in Iraq & Afghanistan while Western oil giantsseize the oil, gold & all natural resources that Libya possesses which inreality was the reason for the whole exercise of humanitarian intervention.  It is not difficult to comprehend the trend that is taking place & thedangers of the West’s financial turmoil will mean further “humanitarian”operations on targeted nations & the basis for the next stop being Syria isalready under way.  Let all US-NATO nations realize that the people of the world are no fools.Citizens of these nations may be fooled since mainstream media have blinded them with lies & false versions to brainwash them but nemesis for the innocent deaths will follow US-NATO & their leaders for the destruction they are doing to the people, the environment & to nations throughout the past decade.</blockquote>
