#1 Insane. Why did the europeans and americans ever considered that oil belonged to the "countries" (entities made up by then, actually) where it laid underground?

This disgusts me, libya is a blackhole, unproductive country, a tiny nothing of NO importance, EXCEPT for the oil WE discovered, ruled by a tinpot dictator that has been causing mahyem since always (remember the recent ivory coast mess, blamed on France, which led not only to a major loss of face and influence by France due to shiraq & galouzeau "de villepin" 's total ineptness, but also to a large number of french citizens being expelled after having been looted of all property and sometimes assaulted and gangraped - note that they got NO help at all from the french gvt after coming back to France, whereas african illegals have free healthcare and the like...? Qaddafy was the driving force behind burkina faso's meddlings in that).

This is madness; more white guilt blackmail, resentment from the colonial era, this is so rich... libya was not even a country back then, but a nest of barbary piricay, will southern Europe ever get repayments for all the looting and enslavement of CENTURIES upon CENTURIEs of non-stop muslim piracy and razzias? Which incidentally turned the hub and heart of early european civilization into the historically poorer and more backward area it still is today, due to that constant predation which prevented normal life for white europeans there?

Also, lybia is using mass african immigration as a tool to pressure european countries into more concessions,a nd more money to help "fight immigration" (which lybian authorities actually fully control and allow, as a weapon... remember qaddaffy's al jeez tombuctu speech, when he predicted the soon to come islamization of Europe, for its greater good???)... and th ehypocrisy! Lybian like all north african arabs are total racists when it comes to blacks, they call them "slaves" (the same arabic word menas "black" and "slave", abid), they park them in ACTUAL ghettoes, and they go on pogroms from time to time. I remember reading about one in the late 90's in lybia where at least 300 african migrants were lynched to death by the locals.

Qaddaffy is getting all that he wants; french analysts are pretty sure that the lybian WMD program was going nowhere, due to the backwardness and lack of technical skill, and that "giving up" this was qaddaffy's trump card.

I'm disgusted beyond words.

#2 Now that's a rant! I hadn't thought of Southern European poverty as a direct result of Barbary predation, but it makes sense.

#3 Again, pointing out the obvious, this is why energy independence from psycho dictatorships is one of the most important security actions a country can do. If McCain wins the presidency, I hope energy independence is his number one priority. It will certainly not be Obama bin Beiden's concern. They will tax gasoline and ensure that tires run at 75 psi, heh.
