How busy is the Singapore Government ?

Dr.Hoffmann, I hope you are not holding your breath waiting for all this to happen. Good try, but no cigar.

Maybe you should do some homework before you post-- obviously you aren't aware that Libya *was* the powerhouse of Northern Africa under Gaddafi.

Just a two years ago Libya had the highest HDI (Human Development Index) of all African nations. Libya has a very high GDP per capita compared to other North-African countries. The country had a functioning socail welfare system providing education, health care, housing, etc. The World Bank listed Libya has an Upper Middle Income Economy.
As an example of Libya's achievements: Did you know that one of the world's largest engineering projects is in Libya? What is it you might wonder? Maybe you'd think along the line of weapons of mass destruction program or some vain palatial construction to glorify Gaddafi and pander to his vanity. Well it is nothing like this, but rather a project to increase the productive output and raise food availability and security for Libyans-- it is the Libyan Man-Made River-- the world's largest irrigation program (many sources say it is actually the world's largest of *all* engineering projects).

Libya's economic progress under Gaddafi is something that it very hard to critise. Gaddafi's regime increased the wealth of the vast majority of Libyans. Many countries can't rival Libya's economic improvements during the reign of Gaddafi.

However, what can be easily critised and deplored is the abuse of Human rights under Gaddafi. This is what you should be writing articles about. You should be detailing how to create a government that gives Libyans basic human rights-- but at the same time limits the various ethnic groups and militant religious/political orgainzations of Libya from using violent means to achieve their own goals.

What a pathetic mish-mash of paternalism and white-man's-burden garbage.

And what a sad reminder that this NATO-backed Libyan war on a once peaceful and prosperous nation is far and away the most Orwellian conflict of modern times.

Four decades of freedom from Western domination, that bought Libyans the highest living standard in Africa, and one of the highest in the developing world, is called ‘oppression’

The bombed-out, grief-stricken ruin that is now NATO-controlled Libya, a brutally demoralised nation enslaved to Western economic and political imperatives, is called ‘liberation’.

Up to your final paragraph, I absolutely agree with you and heaps of official world data also backs you up (World Bank, FAQ etc)

As for the Gaddafi/Jamahiriyan record of human rights abuses, while not seeking to excuse it, have to be offset against the decades-long hostile campaign of military, economic and propagandist aggression against Libya by the West, and by Libya’s neighbours, the latter of which almost entirely comprised Western-backed dictatorships.

Sadly, all countries that take a separate path to the Established World Order have to maintain extremely paranoid levels of internal and external security in order to survive. In terms of the alleged human rights abuses that supposedly led NATO to align itself with the TNC rebels, this account is enlightening:

Killarney,
Gadhaffi's paranoia and intolerance of opposition would seem to have been vindicated by recent events.
Wait a few months, or possibly weeks for the next civil war to begin, the second phase is always ethnic or sectarian conflict, as we saw in Iraq.
