Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Libya: Western Obsession and Sucking Oil Off.

someone has to put up a sign that "beg the question" doesn't mean "forces us to ask the question" but rather "avoids the question." a mistake becoming so  common as to risk altering the "actual" meaning of the phrase.
as far as us westerners being incapable of understanding the situation, well..., i guess there's no point in trying to think then.

Subj: [camnetwork] Libya: Western Obsession and Sucking Oil Off its Testicles?

 

Libya: Getting it Right A  Revolutionary Pan-African Perspective Thousands of Indians, Egyptians, Chinese, Filipinos, Turks, Germans, English, Italians, Malaysians, Koreans and a host of other nationalities are lining up at the borders and the airport to leave Libya. It begs the question: What were they doing in Libya in the first place? Unemployment figures, according to the Western media and Al Jazeera, are at 30%. If this is so, then why all these foreign workers?   For those of us who have lived and worked in Libya, there are many complexities to the current situation that have been completely overlooked by the Western media and 'Westoxicated' analysts, who have nothing other than a Eurocentric perspective to draw on. Let us be clear - there is no possibility of understanding what is happening in Libya within a Eurocentric framework. Westerners are incapable of understanding a system unless the system emanates from or is attached in some way to the West. Libya's system and the battle now taking place on its soil, stands completely outside of the Western imagination.     http://www.entrepreneurnewsonline.com/2011/03/libya-getting-it-right.html   Courtesy: The Publisher & Editor-in-Chief, The Entrepreneur Newspaper P.O.
