Isn't this thread about Libya? I had a co-worker who I guess doesn't watch the news or he's just very suspcious of it and when we started discussing Libya and the protesters, he was saying how they should just follow their leader and stay in line. When I mentioned that the leader of Libya ordered his troops to shoot unarmed protesters, that's when he said that you can't believe everything the media reports. Which is true. But I think it's pretty safe to say that protestors have been killed and those killing seemed to spark an even greater rebellion in Libya. Of course there's a chance that some extremist Muslims could try and use this to their benefit, but at the end of the day, Libyians have to sort that stuff out for themselves. America has to get off of this track where we tell nations what they should be doing, especially when we only do it to support profits and the economy in America and not because we genuinely want to see other nations and its people prosper. How hypocritical is it for us to say that we want democracy for all, but then when the people choose someone who's interests don't coincide with America's, we threaten to stop sending money. And money that probably wasn't even getting to the people who really needed it. On Egypt. Everyone keeps talking about the Muslim Brotherhood. If the Egyptian people want to allow that organization some sort of say so, when it comes to governing Egypt, than that's there business. There's a reason why a portion of the world hates America and our meddling in the affairs of other counties is just one of the reasons. Maybe we should see better conditions for people at home, before looking outward.
