Why war in Libya is different than in Egypt? Why do you support this killing?

ok: Why war in Libya is different than in Egypt? Why do you support this killing?
People in Egypt protested against their government, they did not have arms! They were common people like us. But then, international community specially the United States supported the government of Egypt even though the government was kind of started killing those unarmed people who were protesting. On the other hand, in Libya that was a good friend of western countries only a months ago, people protested their government…first of from where they got so heavy arms, e.g tanks and rockets? And, why this time western community is supporting the protesters, and even killing people from a valid and legal government side with an accusation that the government is not good, and killing people?

My interest was, how and from where did the rabble/protesting people got those powerful arms?
Why, western media is busy hiding the fact? And remaining partial? Do they think that we are all stupid in the west? Why should we support our country to send our army to kill people in a country that has nothing wrong with us?

Why not be happy muslims are killing each other over their tribal crap and leave it at that.

Libya was not “a good friend of the west.” That regime was behind the airplane bombing over Lockerbie, and funded terrorist groups in Europe like ETA and the IRA.

When the Libyan people rebelled against the oppressive government there it was a peaceful uprising. That changed when Gaddaffi sent in his troops to quash them by force. Some of the Libyan army then rebelled in protest and a rebel army was formed to bring down Gaddaffi.

This was the opposite of what happened in neighbouring Tunisia and Egypt where the army was not willing to turn on the people.

All this story with the “Arab revolutions” is one big b/s. In Egypt, hardly 8% of the population took part in the “protests”. And in the result of all this “struggle for democracy” the only two forces who can come to power in Egypt are the Military Junta( it is in power now) and the radical Muslim Brotherhood.
And in Libya, the situation is much worse. What´s going on in Libya is a normal Stone Age tribal war. There is not such a thing as ” a Libyan people”; Libya means 140 tribes who live there fighting for power for hundreds of years. Now, the tribes of the area of Bengazi – the area traditionally linked to AlQaeda- decided it´s time to snatch the power from the tribe of Qaddaffi of the Tripoli area. And our “wise leadrs”, all these obamas, sarkozis and camerons, sent our children to die so that the tribal war leader of Hariri or Wallah tribe could topple the tribal war leader of Qaddaffi tribe and start stockpiling the money from the oil export on his account.

The rabble/protesting people were from the beginning pretty well armed. The main suppliers were french and british, but the USA played its part too. And now, the weapons from the West go to Libya in quantities suffucient to equip and arm a medium-sized army. And THOUSANDS of the British, French , Italian “military advisers” are on the territory of Libya taking part in fights on the side of the rebels against the legitimate government.

Moreover, the number of all the civilians murdered by Qaddaffi during the protests was times less than the number of the civilians – victims of the Western aerial strikes. Even more, the Human Rights
groups say they could not find any facts that would confirm that Qaddaffi was attacking the civilians but there are dozens of facts when the Western attacks killed the civilians in Libya. The British NGO British Civilians for Peace in Libya has been a week in Tripoli and other Libyan cities . After talking to hundreds of people and studying the situation in situ, the leaders of the NGO made the declaration in which they put clear; there are no evidences about the crimes of Qaddaffi´s regime.

Only for this “Arabian nights” story about the “revolutions for democracy”, the liar by the name Obama should be impeached.
