The International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor says there is evidence that Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi ordered the rape of hundreds of women as a weapon against rebel forces. [The ICC is now looking at] possible evidence that pro-Gaddafi security forces had been given medication such as Viagra to enhance their sex drive
I am just left speechless. How can ANYBODY not see that what is taking place is a Bosnia Redux of the worst possible kind?!
Is the world really going to swallow this garbage AGAIN?!
All we need now before the full invasion Libya is a "Libyan Srebrenica" or a "Libyan Racak". An occupation of Misrata by government forces maybe? Or a bomb in a market Benghazi?
PS: here is al-Jazeera's rendering of this "Bosnian atrocity" :

Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. If ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free
Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew (10:26) and Saint John (8:32)
Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety. His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.
Holy Prophet and King David (Psalm 145:3-4 according to the LXX)
To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.
Arundhati Roy
Thou shalt not be a victim. Thou shalt not be a perpetrator. And above all, Thou shalt not be a bystander

In a world of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act

Roger Waters
I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill. I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent. Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
Mahatma Gandhi
I am for truth, no matter who tells it.

I am a pessimist by nature. Many people can only keep on fighting when they expect to win. I'm not like that, I always expect to lose. I fight anyway, and sometimes I win.

Truth is treason in the empire of lies.
