Bush attacked Afghanistan and Iraq for restoring democracy and peace. After some time of one sided War, Bush was criticized internally in USA as well. Billions of dollars have been spent on this war till date and number of US troops got killed because of one decision of Mr Bush. Lately people criticized him openly for this action.
When Mr Obama became the President of USA, one of the key focus which came out from his initial actions and speeches was that he was not in favor of what Mr Bush did with Afghanistan and Iraq. Even he mentioned that gradually US will pull out the troops from Afghanistan. Everyone thought that Mr Obama is different with his slogan for "Change" from Bush.
Now, Mr Obama is walking on the footprints of Mr Bush by attacking Libya in the name of restoring peace and democracy in the country. So called action to protect Civilian is affecting Civilian of Libya badly with enormous missile attacks from few days.The fact of the matter is that USA has only one agenda and that is to control "Oil" producing countries so as to become self dependent. No matter who is President, USA seems to be desperate to control Oil. Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya are the victim of this only. I do agree that Libya's dictatorship is a big problem but USA would never interfere without hefty gains in mind.
If the reason for USA to interfere in these countries was restoring democracy and peace, then why it do not interfere in China and Pakistan where in case of China there is no democracy and freedom of speech on the other side Pakistan is struggling with terrorism and political instability from decades ? The simple answer is they will not get Oil in China and Pakistan. USA might be bit scared of touching China because of some other reasons also.
Countless innocent people in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya have been killed with single point agenda of oil control. Victims have done only one wrong thing and that is that they are the citizens of Oil producing countries. This is so inhuman that for self interest USA hardly care about innocent citizens of these countries.
The irony is that no one stands up against it and innocent suffers the most for it. When Obama should focus on reviving his country from financial crisis and reducing the Financial deficit they have created due to inefficient banking norms in last five years, he seems to have embarked on the journey in which he has nothing other than sheer criticism from everyone and huge Financial deficit. Where will this lead to USA is a matter of time to watch for.
Lets pray for those innocent citizens of Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya who lost their lives in hope of peace and freedom.
The US will overtake Saudi Arabia as the world's leading oil "producer" by 2017 and will become a net exporter of oil by year 2030.. This new growth in oil and shale gas production has been made possible by "fracking" and other non-conventional drilling technologies (ever heard of them: hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling) .As US shifts to locally produced natural gas, its CO2 emissions are decreasing too. America’s dependence on foreign oil has gone down every single year since 2007. In 2010, the U.S. imported less than 50 percent of the oil the country consumed -- the first time that’s happened in 13 years -- and the trend continued in 2011. Now these are "facts". I am a great fan of your blog. I just want you to know some facts so that you do not keep believing that USA is dependent on countries like Libya (<3% of world's oil prod) to satisfy what you call its so called "greed for oil".
