Anyone who still believes that the slaughtering of our 200,000 Afrikan people in Libya by the West was about "humanitarian intervention" needs his/her head examined. I just finished reading Professor Maximilian Forte's effulgent account of the Mother of All Western Political Machinations against Afrika in the contemporary era. Slouching towards Sirte: NATO's War on Libya and Africa adds significantly to Professor Francis A. Boyle's Destroying Libya and World Order and former Congresswoman's The Illegal War on Libya.
A comprehensive analysis, this book examines all the justifications and myths about the war on Libya and methodically dismantles them. It delineates the documentary history of events, processes, and decisions that led up to the war while underscoring its resulting consequences. Arguing that NATO's war is part of a larger process of militarizing U.S. relations with Africa—which sees the development of the Pentagon's AFRICOM as being in competition with Pan-African initiative—this account shows that Western relations with a "rehabilitated" Libya were shaky at best, mired in distrust, and exhibiting a preference for regime change.
