Muammar Gaddafi
was once the bane of the West, but in the last decade had sought a "workaround" with imperialism. Since 11 September, "Gadhafi has seemed more concerned about Islamic fundamentalism ... that by European and U.S. machinations. "The U.S. intelligence may have acted or not against Gaddafi, but surely take advantage of any opportunity.
"Gaddafi had clearly reached an agreement with the U.S. and the rich men of Europe." Muammar Gaddafi
jumped onto the world stage when he and other young officers kicked out a king called Idris, who had charged to corporations lower foreign prices worldwide by sucking the country's oil wealth. That was in 1969. When I had my meeting with Gaddafi, 40 years later, in late October 2009, still called himself a socialist and sworn enemy of capitalism, and drove his Green Book as a guide to universal social justice. But Qadhafi clearly had reached an agreement with the U.S. and the rich men of Europe. Types of corporations, whites and Asians, were everywhere in Tripoli, the capital, which was brimming to capacity building projects carried out by foreigners for foreign corporations. Libya and its six million inhabitants had become a "destination" of corporations with all of the law, and Qaddafi's armed forces were in constant collaboration with the shock troops of the imperialist war machine in the U.S.. Qaddafi could tell your visitors on his enormous personal tent at the military camp in the city that was dedicated to the destruction of "capitalism," but Washington, London and Paris did not seem very concerned.
Since September 11, Gaddafi has seemed more concerned with Islamic fundamentalists such as neighboring Algeria which took 200,000 lives suppression with U.S. and European machinations. Has coordinated with the U.S. military maneuvers in the Sahel region of North Africa, and worked closely with the CIA to discover elements of the Al Qaeda. In 2008, Condoleezza Rice was in Tripoli. "I'm looking forward to hearing the world view the leader, "he said. Gaddafi had already declared his love for the woman he called "Leeza," his "beloved African-American" who, he said, "rests and gives orders to the Arab leaders."
"The worst possible consequence of the Libyan crisis that the U.S. would find a way to intervene. "
In 2009, the year I visited Libya with a delegation headed by the former congresswoman and Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney, Gadhafi had just signed a historic agreement on military cooperation diplomatic. The U.S. Africa Command, AFRICOM, and Libya pledged to work together on issues of peacekeeping, maritime security, counterterrorism and security and stability in Africa.
However, there was Gaddafi on television on Tuesday, without seeming at all to the rather serene old man who had found me in the big tent for 16 months, bellowing that he was being assaulted by a combination of U.S. and Islamic militants . In that sense his words sounded very much like the recent public statements of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak before was pushed out of the picture. Gaddafi belittled his opponents labeling them ignorant ingrates who knew nothing of the glories of the country, or was people who were simply under the influence of hallucinogens. His son, Seif el Islam Gaddafi, had previously threatened the Libyans with the civil war. Both father and son seemed out of touch, out of control and obsolete. This means that the Libyan people is in danger.
But there is no greater threat to the independence and sovereignty of the people that the U.S. imperialism, which has no respect for anyone's rights. The worst possible consequence of the Libyan crisis that the U.S. would find a way to intervene. Washington can do nothing to benefit in any way to the Libyan people, who must solve its own problems.
