The Euro-US
War on Libya:
Official Lies and Misconceptions of Critics
Many
critics of the ongoing Euro-US wars in the Middle East and, now, North
Africa, have based their arguments on clichés and generalizations devoid
of fact. The most common line heard in regard to the current US-Euro
war on Libya is that it's "all about oil" - the goal is the seizure of
Libya's oil wells. On the other hand Euro -U.S, government spokespeople
defend the war by claiming it's "all about saving civilian lives in the
face of genocide", calling it "humanitarian intervention".
