There IS NO and NO possible way Iraq could EVER be compared to Libya. Not for the sake of discrimination but reality check. Iraq was completely strangled too death, although Sadam also had great socialist ideas. While the Libyan’s Gaddafi had already implemented them in practice ….so much successful that entire Africa accepted him as the King of Kings reformer. Even we in the former Soviets could NOT ever dream to have what Gaddafi gave to ALL Libyans. While the westerners, compared to the former Soviets, just pretended their societies were better. The Russians were right; the west didn’t won the war there killing Gaddafi …the war has just started. And so was Gaddafi as prophetic. All and all the west embarked on another idiotic colonising adventure which WILL be lost.

Well, as long as the Russian Federation and the PRC don't approve another no-fly zone, then the thugs and rats will be in trouble, deep trouble. Because they won't have the ability to fight them in their substandard Toyota thug technicals supplied by Qatar et al. and their pre-world war AA guns. And all those government employed people that don't get payed anymore could join in too, because they can see that it isn't getting better. NORINCO should sell them a bunch of weapons too, they already tried, now it is their chance.

"While revolutionaries as individuals can be murdered, you cannot kill ideas."Thomas Sankara, revolutionary leader of Burkina Faso, a week before he was assassinated in October 1987  The same can be said about Maummar Gaddafi, he may be dead yet his ideology of a Libya independant of the evil facists and colonalists will live on. The death of Mao didnt mean the end of the Peoples Republic of China and the murder of Gaddafi doesnt mean the end of the idea of the Great Scocialist Peoples Libyan Arab Jamahiriya.   The idea of the Jamahiriya, a direct democracy with the Libyan people in control of their country, not Washington, Brussels or London, will be still supported by many. It may take time, but one day many Libyans are likely to look back at the era of Gaddafi as better than the chaos of 2011 onwards. The NTC doesnt have control of the militias that helped toppled the government let alone control of all of Libyas territory. There is a lack of security and stability, the NTC is doomed to fall if it doenst disarm and unify the country.
