Lava in Libya 3.9.11

This Libya situation is perplexing. It is crazy how simplistic the issue has become to some of the reactionaries. It is clear we have been supporting a puppet in Libya in order to secure our blessed oil. Yes the oil. This is the only reason you hear about Libya or Egypt in the news. The people of Libya are being massacred and our prayers should be with them. I do believe some kind of intervention must take place. Not saying it has to be military force, but to at least ensure the people are getting proper medical care and food. Oil profits are the lifeblood of our politicians. Privately this high price of gasoline is fueling the special interests even more. It is utterly laughable that these so called "leaders" pretend to be looking to get off of our dependence on oil. We have been hearing this same lie since the 70s and it is time to put it to rest. Let us focus on the victims of this violence rather than worry about how "it will affect us". This egotistical thought process by many Americans betrays what us as humans should care about.
