I think we can dispell the idea that Libya was attacked for humanitarian reasons in short order. The actions of the US and those they have supported in the past indicate they have no interest in human rights. lets look at some examples shall we:
Drone bombings of wedding parties in pakistan, killing hundreds to get 1 'terrorist'.
The murder of 1 million people in iraq by the Us military industrial complex.
The murder of US citizens at Waco Tx.
The wide spread dispersal of depleted uranium in the middle east, causing cancer, infertility, and destroying croplands.
Confirmed existance of torture centers in Egypt, where 'terrorists' and criminals from around the world were disappeared.
The support of Israel, which is a racist apartheid state.
The suspension of habeus corpus, the passage of the patriot act, disregard for the bill of rights.
-There are many more, im sure nearly anyone but a braindead prole can name dozens in a matter of minutes. Truth be told, im sure that those incidents we are aware of are but a drop in the bucket.
Now lets look at Iraq. Plans for its invasion were drawn up before 9/11. There were no weapons of mass destruction, and iraq was not involved in 9/11. The reason the plans were drawn up was because Iraq had announced that they would no longer be accepting the USD as payment for oil.
Iraq did not participate in the IMF or world bank. There are nations who do not participate as such, them being Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Iraq (which is now a member post war), Libya, and N korea. These countries have resisted repeated afforts to be taken into the IMF and world bank loan schemes, and have been vilified by western MSM. these countries do not partcipate in the pegging of their currencies to the US dollar, and do not recognize the USD as world reserve trade currency.
Now onto the dollar, oh shes a peach......a big rotten, hollow in the middle peach. The USD has lost 97% of its value since Paul Warberg (german banker and rothchild representative) wrote the federal reserve act in 1913, this do to the hidden tax of inflation, brought about by rampant printing of fiat currency
Wikipedia defines fiat currency as 'Fiat money is money that has value only because of government regulation or law. The term derives from the Latin fiat, meaning "let it be done", as such money is established by government decree.' Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard in 1971, and solidified the USD as the best fiat 'money' could buy.
There is no harm to world trade and currencies so long as all currencies are equally worthless and backed by nothing. serious problems arise for the economic engineers when faced with the notion of having to mantain their currencies while being competed with by those who are using currencies backed by ANYTHING.
Competition of this type is exactly why the jekyll island meetings were held, to set up a central Us and eventually world central bank, and to eliminate the banking competition by creating a cartel protected by the Us govt and eventually NATO. This in turn would allow for a creation of a world corrency, once all nations have joined or been bullied into the NATO/IMF/new world order club, all controlled by the central bank, which is the World Bank/IMF that was invented at Bretton Woods in 1944. the world bank in financed primarily by the privately owned Federal Reserve group of banks of the US.
So finally, after all that crap we are back to Libya. Libya supplies a goodly amount of oil to Europe. Libya had been working with other african nations to bring about a gold backed currency. This would have immediately made the libyan dinar the most desired currency in the world. It would have essentially become the world reserve trade currency by default. This was lauded by other african nations as fabulous. It would give them equal footing on the world stage, and allow them to prevent the plundering of their resources by 1st world countries interested in 'free trade'.
Other examples of countries who are in the crosshairs:
Venezuela- Chavez has discussed openly creating a south american currency backed by oil. For those of you who only watch NBC news, there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 50-100,000 Us and nato troops emmassed on the border of Venezuela/Columbia.
Mexico- It has been rumored that mexico, the second largest silver producing country in the world, will back its currency with silver after its upcoming election.
Iran- Iran recently announced it would no longer accept the Usd for payment for oil. iran of course has the backing of Russia and China, or wed of invaded long ago.
There is much more involved than what ive listed, but I dont have the energy to type it all out. Suffice to say, everything ive stated is truth. I would recommend a couple of books for those interested in further researching this subject matter.

In a nutshell, the Us empire is finished. Just like the roman empire, the Us can no longer fund its plunder of the world becuase noone wants their dollars (failed bond auctions anyone?) and must, to remain viable, bring about a new world order so that the zionist bankers can control the world lock stock and barrel. We live in dangerous times to be sure, its best to be aware of whats going on in the genre of world finance. You will not recieve factual information by relying on mainstream media in the Us and western europe. the fact of the matter is that these agencies are merely propaganda tools for the appeasement of the 'useless eaters'. Thats YOU!
Admittedly, this is presented from an austrian economics standpoint, but I think its prudent to look at the other side of the coin. The fabian keynesians have made a mess using their rules of unreality to structure the world monetary system, and its been an utter failure, except for those printing the money out of thin air.
