[lbo-talk] Arab Spring: The Libyan Remix

[Carrol Cox]

A tyrant who kept his nation independent is being replaced with a 
tyranny that bows to the will of the EU. The people are probably worse 
off, as are the Iraq people today. Among all the weaker nations, 
independence probably depends on having an authoritarian state. 
Eventually Venezuela, Bolivia, and Equador will probably have to abolish 
elections or give in to being dependencies of the U.S.
