The World Socialist Web Site categorically opposes any military intervention in Libya. The drive toward war, which was given the green light by the UN Security Council on Thursday, has nothing to do with the humanitarian pretexts offered up by the major powers. Rather, it represents the violent imperialist subjugation of a former colony.
The bombing of Libya by French, British and American planes will not protect human life, but will transform the country into a battlefield with thousands of innocent victims. This is an imperialist war. Libya is an oppressed, former colonial country. The WSWS rejects fundamentally and in all circumstances military attacks by imperialist powers on such countries.
Moreover, this war will take place without any democratic legitimacy. There is not the slightest indication that it is supported by the populations of the countries involved. Once again, huge sums are being spent on a war even as the same governments declare there is no money for social programs.

All those "allied efforts" of the US and NATO to bring democracy and peace to other nations are really nothing short than rude and plain aggression. Frankly. We saw a similar story in Iraq already.
Finally they will turn poor country into greater-scale chaos and steal their natural sources. |
Its all about money/oil and life style, France and other European countries need cheep oil, but no one really wants to say that.
