Any decision to impose a no-fly zone over Libya should be made by the UN and not by Washington, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said.

Mrs Clinton said it was important such a move came from the Libyan people, rather than being a US-led effort.

Calls for military intervention are growing as pro-Gaddafi forces bombard areas held by Libyan rebels.

Meanwhile, Col Gaddafi has made a defiant speech on Libyan TV, labelling rebels and opposition leaders traitors.

Addressing a room full of cheering supporters he again claimed that the rebels had been brainwashed by al-Qaeda.

Impotence in Action

by Darius Kadivar on

 

Whatever happens in Libya tomorrow The West is Losing Total Credibility in the Region and Beyond.

 

A New World Order is Emerging and the West will pay a dear price for it's naive and Incompetent approach.


I am afraid we can also say goodbye to any hopes of seeing a democratic Middle East, let alone a democratic Iran emerge in our lifetime.

I am VERY Pessimistic on the future of the Western Civilization and it's Values which they and often we claim are "Universal": Human Rights and Democracy.

The Real Power Brokers of Tomorrow will be :


China and Russia none of which are built on Democratic Principles and Turkey which is on the Verge of becoming the Real Power Broker in the Middle East. 

Any democratic transition in Iran will depend on the good will of these Three Emerging Powers.

Mark My Word, the Tragic Debacle of the West in Handling the Crisis in Libya will mark a Turning Point in the History of this Post Sept 11 World.

The Shah was Right : "The BLue Eyed People Need to Wake Up"

I'm afraid it is already too late ...
