Libya in Upheaval
This is awkwardly political, but I feel like it needs to be said; the Libyan government is made up of one homicidal maniac who's too drunk on power to let his people go. He declared genocide on his own people, ordered his troops to rape and kill women in the streets, and is even bombing the populace.
From the BBC:
"More details on the call by Libya’s diplomats at the United Nations for international intervention to end the crisis. The deputy ambassador, Ibrahim Omar Al Dabashi, told BBC World that Col Gaddafi’s government was carrying out a genocide. “It is a real genocide whether it is in the eastern cities of Libya or whether what is going now in Tripoli,” he said. “The information that we are receiving from the people in Tripoli is the regime is killing whoever goes out to the streets… He has his mercenaries everywhere in the streets and whenever any demonstrator appears they just kill them. At least they shoot them, whether they kill them or not, but they are shooting them.”"
This is awful stuff going on, and I hate feeling like I'm not doing anything.
