NATO WARPLANES STRIKE TRIPOLI, LIBYA
NATO warplanes hammered Tripoli on Tuesday with some of their heaviest air strikes yet after the United States said Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi would “inevitably” be forced from power, Reuters reported.

He said the strikes had targeted a compound of the Popular Guards, a tribally-based military detachment. However, he said the compound had been emptied of people and “useful material” in anticipation of an attack, and the casualties were people living in the vicinity.
“This is another night of bombing and killing by NATO,” Ibrahim reported.
Led by France, Britain and the United States, NATO warplanes have been bombing Libya for more than two months since the United Nations authorized “all necessary measures” to protect civilians from Gaddafi’s forces in the country’s civil war.

Because this is, “US Rights” which allows them to act as Animals..!
So we’ve human rights & they’ve animal rights..!
On the pretext of ‘saving civilian protestors’ the evil imperial West has joined forces to support the ‘civilian protestors’ against Gaddhafi to effect a regime change. This is because Gaddhafi is anti imperial West. Hence the imperial West hit him night after night with cruise missiles and bunker bombs relentlessly. They have killed thousands of civilians and injurred many thousands more civilians in Tripoli. Isn’t imerial West concerned for the deaths of innocent civilians in Tripoli in their mindless bombardment? This is a gross violation of their human rights, a gross crime against humanity and a war crime committed by the imperial West. UNSG is silent. China and Russia does nothing to decry this and call the UNGA and UNSC for urgent special meetings to stop this carnage. Of what value is UNO now? It is now a tool of the imperial West to hit small nations like SL and impose their will on us, in world domination. We have not forgotten the demands of the imperial West not to hit LTTE trapped in the narrow Nandhikadal beech front with heavy weapons. However, the imperial West hit willy nilly Tripoli with immensely powerful cruise missiles and bunker busting bombs and cluster bombs to try to kill Gaddhafi and his family. Already one of his sons and his family has been killed. Who can stop this gross crimes of the imperial West who is after Lybia’s oil?
I curse imperial West daily. May God strike them down! May they be visited with the abomination of desolation!
