The editorial says:
"> After the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003 and leveled much of Baghdad with a
bombing campaign that the Pentagon exultantly called “shock and awe,”
Gadhafi tried to ward off further threatened aggression on Libya by making
big political and economic concessions to the imperialists. He opened the
economy to foreign banks and corporations; he agreed to IMF demands for
“structural adjustment,” privatizing many state-owned enterprises and
cutting state subsidies on necessities like food and fuel.
The Libyan people are suffering from the same high prices and unemployment
that underlie the rebellions elsewhere and that flow from the worldwide
capitalist economic crisis."
That's true. My apologies.
That being the case, the article still equivocates.
