There is no doubt that, the Arab regimes, specially those regimes backed by the west, are losing grip on power. From the semi - fallen regimes of Tunisia and Egypt, to the shaken Saudi/ Bahraini regimes. Now in recent weeks, Libya has been under a huge attention by the big western governments , who apparently are worried about the brutality of Qaddafi`s regime on protesters , even though a lot of these protesters are armed with powerfull rockets and machine guns. But wait, how come protesters are able to convert themselves from " peacefull " and unarmed protesters to well armed anti - Qaddafi rebels in space of three days ? !! The only logical answer I can think of , is that , the West has orchestrated the armed resistance against Qaddafi ! Let me be clear, I am not saying the West orchestrated the anti - Qaddafi protests, clearly the Libyan people are unhappy with the Qaddafi regime, and so they took to the streets demanding change. However, if we consider the way things have unfolded , first in the U.N with the resignation of the entire Libyan deplomatic mission ( some even calling for Western military intervention ), then the immediate recognition of the Rebel Council in Bengahzi as the " legimate " representative of the Lybyan people by France, it becomes clear that the West is fully behind the armed rebellion. In fact, government officials in the West are now publicly calling for a no fly zone and the supply of weapons to the rebels. The following is the key reason, why I think the West is picking on Qaddafi :
- To take the attention away from the shaken pro - Western regimes , such as the Bahraini and the Saudi regimes. Having lost Mubarak , and having failed to use Iran ( and possibly Syria ) as a distraction, Libya was always the next logical choise by the West, given that Qaddafi is not pro - West ( despite multi - billion oil deals with some Western powers such as Britain ).
Now, with Russia and China rightly opposed to another Western imperial intervention in arab world, the Western powers are ironically seeking support from their shaken puppet arab regimes to back a possible UN resolution. In meantime, while Qaddafi forces are gaining momentum, the so - called rebels are losing momentum, possibly because their Western weapons supply is running low.
