2. They must have gotten the word that another war in an oil
producing country is about to begin. From early on, this was a fear and now, with all the 'ex-pat neo-libs' having taking over the rebellion, and Europe talking about ignoring the actual rebels' demands of 'no foreign troops in Liby', and planning an invasion, it won't be long before U.S. troops are there also.

I think Libya was on the PNAC list of countries to invade and 'democratize'. What a sad thing for the actual people of Libya, many of whom are now realizing how they are being used. They are facing a future that will look much like Iraq.

I remember in the beginning seeing so many comments from the real revolutionaries, before the outsiders took over, all saying the same thing 'We do not want foreign troops in Libya, we do not want to become another Iraq, brutalized and destroyed'.

But they don't get to speak anymore, their spokespersons now are the 'expats' who for years have been planning this. And it is THEY who are, conveniently, asking for 'help'.
