US, NATO Must Quit Libya
The
Polit Bureau of the
Communist Party of India
(Marxist) issued the following statement on October 21,
2011.
THE
main aim of the US-NATO
intervention in Libya
has been fulfilled with the killing of Md Gaddafi. From the
outset, the blatant
aggression of the US-NATO was to effect a regime change in Libya,
even
though it was proclaimed as an intervention to save the Libyan
people and for
the establishment of democracy. The claim that the killing of
Gaddafi marks an
end of despotic rule is sheer hypocrisy since it is the US
and its
allies which prop up the most despotic regimes.
It is the people of Libya
who have
to decide what type of government and political system they
want in their
country. This is not something which can be imposed by the US
and NATO by
force of arms.
