Venezuela and Libya forever allies.

Words of the Venezueln president and his top diplomat :
"Washington is fomenting to justify an invasion to seize North African nation's oil reserves."

Chavez tweets: Gaddafi is facing a civil war. Long live Libya. Long live the independence of Libya.

As someone who liked Chavez, it came as a big disappointment to hear his support for Gaddafi. Chavez, labeled as a rebel by the U.S, was one I admired. I embraced his strength and courage of keeping the west away and not giving into their game. Because of his tolerance, the U.S. was quick to create propaganda labeling him as an enemy simply because he did not want to be the U.S.'S puppet.

Though, I do believe the government of the U.S. is to blame for half the worlds problems, Libya's unrest isn't one to be found on that list. It's true, Libya has oil and we may find that down the road the CEO's have forced the U.S. government to take advantage, still i find it unfair that Gaddafi and Chavez are believing this to be a conspiracy of the west.
A plot ignited by "American agents"? nah the only conspiracy i see here is that Gaddafi has mesmerized Chavez.

What's incredible is that these protests has shaken up the world, awakening the people to believe in themselves andin their own strength bc with that change will come. They have buried fear and are taking to the streets streets demanding the most basic need, life.

Like Mubarak, Gaddafi attempted to put down protests with a violent crackdown but the difference lies in their mental state. Gaddafi makes Mubarak look sane compared to him. the psychopath is responsible for the worst bloodshed in the two months since unrest began sweeping across the Arab world..

Thankfully, Senator Kerry was the first form the U.S. to express his concern and demand the UN along with the U.S. to do more to help the people of libya. Yesterday, Obama finally spoke and now talks about NATO and Economic sanctions have been discussed. So far,I think those are all excellent ideas for this given time.
