[lbo-talk] Fidel on Libya

[Carrol Cox]

My own general feeling is that the struggle in most African & Middle East
nations is first of all for national independence from NATO & the US.
Questions of kind of government are internal questions and none of our
business -- except to oppose u.s. interference (anyplace) to the extent that
we can.

P.S. Note that the Iraqi people were much better off under the tyranny of
Saddam Hussein than they have been  since. And I remember a woman from
Bulgaria who posted on the Marxist list during Clinton's aggression against
Serbia: She had been a dissenter under the "Communist" regime; she was by
then an even more active dissenter under the new regime: she predicted that
the Serbian people would be unhappy if western "democracy" replaced their
current government.

FWIW. In fairness, note that Fidel is not supporting Gaddafi
personally. "One can agree with Gaddafi or not" -- he wrote. He
endorses Nicolás Maduro's point that it is up to "the Libyan people"
to settle their domestic conflicts without the meddling of foreign
powers. But since Libya has oil, NATO is stalking the chance to grab
it. That is Fidel's concern here. And he has a point.
