#1 In LIBYUH, desired OWG-NWO "REGIONALISM" runs headsmack into Muslim-on-Muslim "ISLAMIC PCORRECTNESS".

ION ...

To wit,

* WAFF > LIBYA'S TEST [Libyuh = a Test] OF THE NEW INTERNATIONAL ORDER, as per the US, Europe, BRIC Nations, + UNO's ability to effec lead, respond to various Crisis as a UNIFIED ENTITY.

IOW, LIBYUH CRISIS = A TEST OF "GLOBALISM" + DESIRED FUTURE OWG-NWO.

versus

* TOPIX > [AllAfrica] THE LIES BEHIND THE WEST'S WAR IN LIBYA.

ARTIC= Europe desires to maintain Colonial-style hegemony + domination oer an INTENTIONALLY [West]DIVIDED, SECTARIAN AFRICA; THE EU SUPPORTED THE CREATION OF A "UNION FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN" [UPM]IN ORDER TO DETER + PREVENT THE RISE OF A "UNITED STATES OF AFRICA" VEE KEEPING [Oil-Rich] NORTH AFRICA POL, ECON SEPARATE FROM [Black?] AFRICA.

IOW, ARTIC = the West wants Black Africans to be factionaliszed, weak, + permanently poor = dependent on foreign aid???

Contrary to the West's view, LIBYA'S GADDAFI is perceived by many Black Africans as a GENEROUS PERSON, A HUMANIST [Progressive], + A DEDIC STAUNCH OPPONENT AGZ SOUTH AFRICA'S POLICY OF APARTHEID.

#2 The fact that the west, including the US, has spent/borrowed and PC'ed itself into a crumbling wreck lends a certain piquancy to the idea of a new world order.

What do you think the BRIC would do as the leaders of the world in such situations as exist in the ME and Africa?

China needs ME oil, Russia & Brazil would be bettet off without it.

#4 g,

Better off without ME oil, or better off without Chinese control over ME oil? Given Russian sales to China I can see where they would object to China getting a new, wholly owned subsidiary, as there primary supplier.

Brazil will help the Argies take over the Falklands, right? 8^)

#5 Nah. The Argies PO'd the Brazilians by basically zeroing out their investments. Be easier for Brazil to simply buy the Falklands from the Brits.

#6 Why would anybody want the Falklands?

Is there like a place in the World that doesn't have oil? I'm not being facetious.
