googoo.....................your standard dropping lah................
what happened, brudder ???
For those folks who have "Short Memories" like to remind everyone.........what leads to the military Actions......
One basic reason for the revolt in the Middle East was the result that the politicians not only overstayed their welcome for the LAST 40 Years. ...but demonstrate "unpredictable behavior" and not too long ago.....a university student burn himself in Tunisa because his trash cart was confiscated.............
Please-re-evaulate the premises of your argument. why are you against PAP?
These wars are never for humanitarian purposes, they are just pretexts for other political strategic goals.

what do you mean?
Russia and China have called for a ceasefire in Libya. Now South Africa and India have joined in the outrage over the scale of the attacks
Britain and France are facing a rising torrent of international criticism over military intervention in Libya, with Russia and China leading calls for an immediate ceasefire. Just as a majority of Britons distrusts their government's motives, according to a new YouGov poll, many, if not most, countries around the world also view the action as risky, self-interested, and duplicitous.
The fragile consensus on intervention achieved last week, when the UN security council approved "all measures necessary" to protect Libyan civilians against Muammar Gaddafi's forces, has shattered in the wake of large-scale US, British and French ground and air attacks. The attacks were widely seen internationally as disproportionate, careless of civilian lives, and extending beyond the agreed plan to impose a defensive no-fly zone.
The criticism is coming not only from leaders with a traditionally anti-western outlook, such as Russia's Vladimir Putin, who accused the allies of launching a new "crusade" against the Arab world. Leading developing countries such as India have deplored the escalation in fighting as likely to make matters worse, while a growing number of African leaders are highly critical of perceived western disregard for national sovereignty.
The international uproar will form the backdrop to a UN security council meeting in New York on Thursday which is due to review implementation of UN resolution 1973. Last week's decision cannot be reversed without another full vote. But Russia, China and non-permanent council members including South Africa and Brazil – from the so-called Brics bloc of countries – are expected to express strong reservations about how the UN mandate has been interpreted and executed...

You can call it Pretexts for "other" political strategic goals...or you can call it political prudence or machiavelli politics.....but the fact remain that the people in the middle east are taking the Stand....!!!
As for your view .....What do you think China and Russia were practicing in the united nation security council...????? if they none other than pretexts for other political spectrum.
first Sudan and now Libya, it's obvious the West are trying to stop China's colonizing of Africa.
Oil is nothing but a curse!
