I do not support Imperialist invasions of any country. I support the people changing their governments if that is what they want to do. Sometimes they win, sometimes they don't, but if it's their country it is their business.

Castro was Cuban. There was no NATO plotting to overthrow Batista, the West was in love with him. The Cuban Revolution was a Cuban Revolution and the dictator lost. I don't see any comparison between the two at all.

The Libyan Revolution is a Western takeover of Libya's resources which Libyans from now on will NEVER, just like Iraq, be free to control. If they try, as Qadaffi did, they too will be gone. The current 'government' is led by people who are unknown to the majority of the Libyan people. Who elected them? And any elections will be controlled from outside. No ordinary Libyan with foolish ideas about how best their resources should be used, will have a chance of running, let alone be elected. See Iraq.

The country's future is being discussed in Europe, by Sarkozy, Berlusconi et al, and the last thing on any of their minds is, the Libyan people. Their eyes are on the prize, they paid for it, and the Libyans are now indebted to them. Humanitarian bombs are expensive.
