Ismael Hossein-zadeh: Why Regime Change in Libya!

There is no doubt about it: The brutal death and destruction wrought on Libya by the relentless US/NATO bombardment, the "professed" claims of "humanitarian concerns" as grounds for intervention, can readily be dismissed as a blatantly specious imperialist ploy in pursuit of "regime change" in that country. There is undeniable evidence that contrary to the spontaneous, unarmed and peaceful protest demonstrations in Egypt, Tunisia and Bahrein, the rebellion in Libya has been nurtured, armed, and orchestrated largely from abroad, in collaboration with expat opposition groups and their local allies at home. Indeed, evidence has shown that plans of "regime change" in Libya has been nurtured, armed, and orchestrated largely from abroad, in collaboration wit expat opposition groups and their loyal allies at home. Indeed, evidence has shown that plans of "regime change" in Libya were drawn long before the insurgency actually started in Benghazi, and that it has all all of the hallmarks of a well-orchestrated civil war. It is very tempting to seek the answer to the question "Why the imperialist powers want to do away with Gaddafi", has to go beyond oil, or the "laughable" humanitarian concerns! Perhaps the question can be answered best in light of the following concerns: Why do these imperialist powers also want to overthrow Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, Fidel Castro of Cuba, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, Refael Correa Delgado of Ecuador, Kim Jong-il of North Korea, Bashar Al-Assad of Syria, and Evo Morales of Bolivia?
