its cause he's black isn't it?
http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp...3314307c59.251During the 41 years of Moamer Kadhafi's hardline rule, the Amazighs -- whose name means "free men" -- were banned from publicly speaking, writing or printing anything in their own tongue, tamazight.
The Berbers, who make up some 10 percent of Libya's six million people, are now angry after this week's cabinet list was absent of members from their community.
http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion...l-6267104.htmlThe detention of 7,000 people in prisons and camps by the anti-Gaddafi forces is not surprising. The conflict in Libya was always much more of a civil war between Libyans than foreign governments pretended or the foreign media reported.
The winning anti-Gaddafi militia are not proving merciful. Often they have had relatives killed in the fighting or imprisoned by the old regime who they want to avenge. Sometimes they come from tribes and towns traditionally hostile to neighbouring tribes and towns. Gaddafi supporters are being hunted down. According to one person in Gaddafi's home town of Sirte, they are facing a "continuing reign of terror".
"There is a deep and spreading frenzy, particularly among some of the youth militia and the Islamists, to hunt down anyone associated with the former regime," the source said.
The National Transitional Council, whose control is largely theoretical, is not in a position to stop this purge because many of its members are themselves frightened of being accused of links with the old regime.
So... are events proving me right?
Right about what?
Armed revolution is never clean, or bloodless. It's way too early for a final verdict.
Just more proof that the dubya/neocon strategy of, eg, invading Iraq-for-oil would cause love, peace, and democratic (US-oilc-friendly) happiness to bloom all over the mid-east was expectedly stupid and naive. Same stupidity and naivete demonstrated by neocons wanting to strike (oil-rich) Iran.
Now, if the 99% could find enough balls to overthrow and punish the 1%.
Should the 1% that started with nothing and worked their asses off to get to be in the 1% be stoned and punished as well?
Serious question.
very few of the 1% worked their asses off
social/economic mobility has decreased greatly in the past 30 years, as the poor are locked into poverty, the 1% locked into the 1%. One mobility is downward, and the middle class gets screwed down by the 1%.

Link please.....I'd love to know what the split is between money earned by the "1%" and money passed down.
My guess is that you would be wrong and that there are far more earners in the group.
But, since you just talk out of your ass all the time, I'm sure you won't supply it.
Do Your Own Research, loss of social/economic mobility is well do ented, the GFY
boutons cribs from WC: he doesn't have to back up his own claims; you are obliged to disprove them.
the reality is even with a puppet govt and stealing from libya, this wont get france and italy out of debt....
I'm not asking about loss of social/economic mobility. You said that very few of the 1% worked hard to earn their money......I'd like you to back that up.....if you don't, then just go back to your VRWC thread and STFU.
Oh yeah, my bad. Not having paid much attention over the past couple of years has led me to forget what a clown we are dealing with.
That things in Libya will be worse with the new leadership. Still needs more time to see, but it looks like to me it's on it's way.
That things would get worse wasn't a tough call, tbh.
If it wasn't a tough call, then did the UN want to make Libya worse?
Beats me.
So someday they can rule it like a fiefdom, like they do Serbia and Bosnia?
I've slapped johnsmith so many times all he can do is whine and wimper.
don't sprain your wrist patting yourself on the back, tough guy
When? and more importantly, where is the link supporting your argument that most 1%ers didn't work hard for their money.
