What proof do you have that 1000's of civilians are being killed by the Western air strikes in Libya?? Not 1 Civilian casualty has been reported by ANY group.

And please check your numbers and facts (something you rarely use), there have not been anywhere NEAR 1 Million civilian deaths in Iraq...EXCEPT those by Saddam and his regime (but I guess that is ok, right).

Well I´m no brain scientist either Jared but a simple google search pulled up this..
"China noticed reports of civilian casualties from the multinational military action against Libya and is very concerned with this," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said at a regular news briefing.
Civilian casualties have captured much international attention. Reports said at least 64 Libyans had been killed and 150 others wounded by the missiles and bombs fired by the foreign forces over the weekend. The majority of Libya's civil airports and seaports were destroyed.
"The UN resolution on no-fly zone over Libya aimed to protect civilians. We oppose abuse of force causing more civilian casualties and more serious humanitarian disasters," said Jiang.
I think that it´s hilarious that China is suddenly concerned with civilian casualties especially in another country, I can still recall the Tank man in China http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SB70mWXrzEE


Does the number of people injured or killed really matter? Obviously not. Whether it´s 1 or 1000000 the collateral damage seems unimportant, what is the root of the problem? Are people born evil, or are these just behavioural issues stemmed from an obvious lack of something, be it a conscience, self awareness, education, respect for others, love, food, clothes, shelter, clean water and a lust/desire for what we are brainwashed into thinking we NEED to aquire these things, MONEY and dominion over others. It´s ironic that chinese medicine works to treat the problem, the root cause not the symptoms but, like the west treats these social and humanitarian issues with a bandaid.
Chinese, Egyptian,American,Indian,Australian etc are all different "cultures" living in this global petri dish, but we are all human. What is more important, to identify as being part of a race of sentient beings called HUMANS or as being part of a CULTURE?

It doesnt matter

wonderful video of joe biden and quote from candidate obama which shows the pure hypocrisy of the this administration. again, i say to you all, there is no difference between right and left. they criticize bush then turn around and do exactly the same thing.

this is how we know that the actions of our government are disingenuous. our officials do not work for the american people or any other people except for a small group of global eltie, big banks and big business. we are consistently being lied to.

As a presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama (D.-Ill.) emphatically stated that the Constitution does not give the president the authority to unilaterally authorize a military attack unless it is needed to stop an actual or imminent attack on the United States.

"The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation."

great video of CIA veteran Michael Scheuer telling it like it is about the US and the west's involvement in libya.

"That may fool some Americans, its not going to fool the people who sympathize with Bin Laden and other Islamists. This is really a US led operation. And you talk about the Arab states that are involved. The Arab states are tyrannies that are hated by their own people..... In the Muslim world, this is Americans killing Muslims again. And it looks like its for oil."

There you go. And we read about that because the victims are on the 'wrong' side.
It is difficult to believe there can be such inept people at the NATO. And they are fighting against no one, as the Libyan Air Force does not exit.
