What's Behind U.S. Intervention in Libya?
Monday, April 18, 6 PM
Independent Media Center (IMC)202 S. Broadway (in the old post office building, next to Lincoln Square mall), UrbanaWeeks ago, Libyan protesters appeared on the verge of toppling yet another dictator in North Africa. But brutal repression by the Ghaddafi regime has led to a civil war. Now, the U.S. and U.N are engaged in bombing the country. In his March 28 speech, President Obama said he declared war on Libya to stop "a massacre that would have...stained the conscience of the world". Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to support repressive regimes in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, backed the Mubarak regime in Egypt until just days before its collapse, continues to kill countless civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, and continues to send nearly unlimited military aid for Israel's strangling of the Palestinian people.
Is the U.S. really in Libya to save lives? And if not, what is behind U.S. and U.N. intervention in Libya? Finally, what would it take to see genuine liberation for the people of Libya and throughout the Arab world? Come join us to discuss these questions.
