Should Europe and America have attacked ?

We have question for all of you. Which is the most important problem for Libya? Qaddafi? Civil war? Oil? Or Government of dictator? The answer is all of them. All of them are current problem which happen at the same time in Libya. Because of these problems, civil war has been intensified more and more and Libya’s government even attack their own residents. Libya is in terrible hazard now. To help Libya’s residents, Europe and America attack Libya’s government. Do you think this rescue is correct? Please think about this with us. First, we will introduce how Libya came to this situation. In 1969, Qaddafi staged a coup to make the king resign. Instead of the king, he became a leader. Without this coup, Libya would be controlled by European and Asian company because of their rich oil sources. So, he was a hero for their residents at that time. He protected them, offered free fee of education and medical, returned to profit. However, it didn’t last so long... He started government of dictator and abolished constitution, council and political party. He use only the book which written by himself. By the way, the national of Libya is a solid green one and it originate in this book. Green book is a manual which say that “Libya should be in democratic”. But the reality is quite different from democratic, and he prohibited citizens from organizing representative of a political party, social class and tribe because he was afraid of emergence of rivals. These prohibitions caused his dictatorship and control on residents. Europe and America were opposed to his government because they didn’t accept dictatorship. The year before last, civil wars occurred in Algeria and , which is next to Libya. As a result, the people in these countries won and destroyed their governments of dictators. Some Libya’s people were influenced by this success and started resist against the government. How do you feel about this girl? Qaddafi increases opposite even children. Qaddafi responded to this attack by his army and the United Nations told him to stop the attack. Nevertheless he would not stop attacking and continue bombing by having been using even general residents who have no experience of war for his army. On account of his selfish government, the number of victims has been increasing seriously. Eventually, this March, Europe and America started bombing to Libyan principal city. They want to help Libyan people, and United Nation allow them to take all necessary way that can save residents. Now return to our main theme, “Should Europe and America have attacked Libya?” Our answer is “No, we oppose it”.

The first opinion We should think about the damage to the people. “If Qaddafi doesn’t resign as a leader, we will send our armies to Libya”, present American president Obama threatened. Nevertheless, Qaddafi wouldn’t follow his demand. At last, on March 19, 2011, Western countries carried out military actions, and 150 of Libyan people were injured in the action, 48 of them died; especially children, women, and old people were victims of the actions. Do you think Western country’s intervention improve these situation? Taking an objective view, it only leads to an indiscriminate attacking. It was unprofitable for each other. When innocent people were involved in the attack and became victims, Western countries should have reconsidered military actions. Qaddafi also killed many people, indirectly. If he had followed Obama’s request, the accident wouldn’t have occurred. However, there must be other better ways to solve the problem. Without Western intervention, more residents could have survived. We think that they should negotiate with Qaddafi and make him resign. Then, the residents may be able to have survived; moreover, these countries can retain their honors as the leader of international society. We think that the honor is the most essential for them.

The second opinion Military intervention is not only to hurt nations, but also to help many unstable countries. These countries may state demonstration. If Europe and United States lent a hand to help these countries, it means encouragement for the Middle East and North America, like Libya was influenced by Egypt and Nigeria at one time. Maybe they think armed intervention is the best way to change the country. Now Libya is despotic government. Is it bad or good? What do you think about the government of dictator? The world may remind people of the Nazis or Hitler. They did government of horrors, so many people has bad images of despotic government. Is despotic government better than democratic government? It is true that this kind of government can decide various problems alone, so the country can make decision quickly. But if the person can’t make good answer, the country will be destroyed. On the contrary, democratic government can listen to many ideas, so the risks that make fail thinking will be reduced. In short, despotic government is better than democratic government if dictator who has no bad desire. But if the dictator is bad person the country will take the worst destiny. We can’t know in advance whether the next leader is good or not. Qaddafi is a good example. He became a leader instead of farmer king, but Libya has been civil war. We think they should remove Qaddafi. The leader is human, so they must have desires. So if Europe and United State lent a hand to help Libya. They will be able to change the government.

The third opinion Why are they supporting them? You may think “to help Libyan people”. But is it really true? Europe and the United States are bombing Qaddafi. At the same time, they are bombing Libyan people. It is true that many Libyan people are injured or killed. Much few multinational forces are injured. What is the purpose for them to intervene in Libya? They insist on to help anti-government and protect the people. But in the real sense, these attacks are for what? As we have already mentioned, Libya is famous for the oil. Oil deposits of Libya are 8th in the world. These countries depend on Libya. If this war is going on, the oil price is expected to rise. Europe and the United States want to get a right of the Libyan oil. Without Libya, America can’t get enough oil. And why don’t intervene in the civil war of Yemen and Bahrain? The difference between these countries and Libya is the oil. And government should do right things. The violence is not appropriate. The UN admits to Europe and the United States’ attack for Libya. Why? The UN is the organization which insists world peace. They insist peace and admit multinational forces which kill many unrelated people. Do you think they do really good activity?

Conclusion This problem is really difficult to solve, but there is one thing we can say for sure. The armed intervention is wrong. As we say before, although Europe and America attacked Libya on the pretext of rescue, they already have injured many innocent people. The intervention may have bad influence on other countries, and there is no telling that the next leader is a good person. Moreover, their true purpose is not rescuing but oil resources. Europe and America intervene only for their benefits and think about just themselves. A help without consideration may as well do nothing. We don’t mean we had better take no action. We suggest any other ways such as deprivation of Qaddafi’s leadership. Qaddafi is completely bad for Libya. International view is almost agreement. The top of the country must be wise and have a matured spirit. Why they can’t solve this problem with negotiations? Why they should use army though they have power which can overwhelm Libya? If the world cooperate and insist on Qaddafi’s resignation strongly, we will be able to make him submit. International society should have a congress and talk about this problem worldwide. However rich resources Libya has, Europe
