"hundreds of investors and bankers are gathered this week for the African Development Bank's annual meetings. Libya is one of the 53 African members of the bank, which is headquartered in Tunis, and manages about $67 billion in capital."

"The investment stakes in Libya, say the African bankers who are meeting in Lisbon — where neither the regime nor the rebels have sent representatives — are not focused on the country's energy contracts, most of which are already accounted for. Instead, the opportunities lie in developing other potential industries. There is no tourist development along Libya's hundreds of miles of pristine Mediterranean coastline, a short hop from Europe. And thousands of square miles of arable land lie relatively undeveloped."

NATO's mission for democracy and peace!

EDIT: For once, America is doing something right!

^This. I too fell prey to intervention until I started browsing this forum. Oh how quickly you pesky leftists convinced me of the true American intention! :D

America's imperialism is the only reason the intervention is even happening. Do not believe, even for a second, that they have intervened because they give a hoot about the Libyans. They have intervened because colonel Gaddafi was getting out of control, and as you may know, Libya has oil that's pretty damn important to the west. The rebels may have started out with demands for democracy, but in a matter of days, they have sold out to NATO and now serve their interests exclusively. If the rebels succeed, Libya will suffer the fate of the other Arab countries in the region struck by the "revolutionary wave": an US puppet government (likely a military government too) takes over. This is no better for the revolution than Gaddafi, in fact, it will make the revolution even harder to execute in the region.
