SilverSurfer -- congrats on yet another insipidly stupid post
Libya provides less than 2% of the world's oil -- and there are various other factors influencing the price of oil, far from the least of which is rank speculation by speculators who are neither producers nor users guiding 'the invisible hand of the free market doing God's work'
SilverSurfer, looks you still haven't really read and thought about the Juan Cole position put here ..
fuagf to SilverSurfer April 02, 2011 10:28:17 PM SilverSurfer .. "IF we are in Libya for humanitarian reasons what about Sudan, Darfur and all the rest forgoodnessakes"
Whether you agree with Cole or not, I don't think you read, and thought about, the part of Juan Cole's letter which deals with your question ..
University of Michigan Professor Juan Cole has just published an article titled, "An Open Letter to the Left on Libya." .. http://www.juancole.com/2011/03/an-open-letter-to-the-left-on-libya.html .. Cole defends the use of military force to prevent a massacre in Benghazi and to aid the Libyan rebel movement in their liberation struggle.
