Libya : A no lie zone

[Albert Doyle]

Gadhafi should have been automatically protected because he spoke out against the US and Israel at the UN. He dissented, in other words. Just like the US Constitution, Gadhafi's right to dissent should have been protected. Any NATO-type attack should have automatically been denied on the basis of protected free speech and the assumption that Gadhafi was being targeted simply because he spoke-out against the US and Israel at the UN. Otherwise there is nothing to shield foreign nations or their leaders from being attacked by a highly-armed force that acts more or less like organized crime leaders attacking their rivals. If the US is allowed to foment illegal CIA/Mossad "revolutions" in countries where their leaders disagree with the US and its policies then there is no real ability to dissent or question the policies of the US. This then more or less becomes a "dictatorship" with rogue war powers.
