The video footage and interviews speak for themselves. Tell me, where is this great source of information that you have access to which proves that Gaddafi is correct?

It's not hard to see why there are so many supporters of the man in Tripoli. It's incredibly ironic for you to criticise our media as biased and misleading without opening your eyes to the blindingly obvious fact that the only thing they can know of the conflict is what the Libyan government and state television and media is saying.

I do consider myself quite open minded, and I am a lot more sceptical than most people of the government and it's intentions but Gadaffi's, and your, claims are just completely illogical and ridiculous. Produce me one shred of evidence that the Libyan Revolutionaries are criminals and terrorists, maybe then I'll give your viewpoint some respect.

Think about this

There are a group of people in Libya who want to overthrow the Government ok
Gaddafi and the government are fighting them to keep control
For some reason UK and US are supporting the rebels and want Gaddafi out.

Now think back to all the conflicts in Africa where it was exactly the same situation. Many many times rebels want to overthrow the government and take control and run the country themselves. Then few years later same thing happens again.

How many times during all these other conflicts do the US and UK get involved. Time after time they do not get involved. WHY?
Because they have no interest in the conflict, they dont give 2 sh**s.

Reason they support the rebels in Libya is because they do have an interest. They started it all. They have an agenda. They want Gaddafi gone because they want to control the whole region. They are creating an empire for themselves and in so doing they are creating a whole generation of people who hate us in the west.

It is a conflict between 2 groups, US and UK government have decided to back one side. Why? What reason do they have for backing the rebels? Why not support the government?

If a group of rebels wanted to take over the UK from within and our armed forces fought them. Who would you support? Who would the people in other countries support if their media showed our government as being the bad guys and the rebels as the good guys.
