This was intended as FYEO for Louis, but well, maybe it can be sent to the list. Inch'Allah. He can´t be Milo. There has never existed a socialist revolution in Lybia, dear Louis. I am not thinking of Milosevic, but of so many L Am presidents who after agreeing with imperialism were turned down and expelled by "nationalist" revolts. You also posted, yesterday, about the Rumanian case. None of us wants such a poll to offer us similar conclusions in Lybia some years in the future. BTW, Gadafi has kept half the Lybian oil in Lybian hands, and stroke national agreements with its main customer, Italy. This is what makes it so difficult for the EU to agree on punishing Lybia as Sarkozy wants. Anyway, the lesson (a lesson in LA too many people failed to learn in the past and hope will learn now -I am wary about no less man than Evo) is that once you sign up with the devil, the devil will try to cheat and kill you as soon as possible. In THIS sense, and only in this sense, what is taking place in Lybia today is the revenge of imperialists for what took place in Egypt yesterday. This is my take, at least, until further events prove me wrong. Not because Fidel has given G his support or understanding. Because Sarkozy has said what he has said. Whatever state Lybia had was (in many senses, I repeat) built on sand. But it was not completely functional to imperialists. They would never miss the opportunity to ride another people´s wave to topple the head of that state and turn Lybia into either a lax federation of sheikhdoms (with Eastern Lybia almost independent) or simply more than a single state. There did NOT exist a Lybian nation (not even in the provisional sense the word "nation" can be applied to a fraction of the Arab peoples) before Gadafi. There does not exist such a thing even today. But what exists is too much for besieged imperialists to bear. As to how besieged they are, just cast a glance on what takes place near Lybia, in Greece, while we are debating this. 2011/2/23 Louis Proyect <l...@panix.com>: > > > On 2/23/2011 2:13 PM, Néstor Gorojovsky wrote: >> >> There may be many reasons to be against G.
