The UN resolutions on Libya

The UN would resolutions would be a welcome gesture to Africans if they were not discriminatory. I'm sure the Somalis have been brutalized so much that if the UN was world police concerned for all humanity it would have had more tough resolutions on Somalia before Libya. The degree of force and the intensity and gravity of damage to the economy of Libya will take years for the Libyans to build.Cant we learn from the bitter experience in Iraq? The US attacks were aimed at saving Iraqis from Saddam's despotic rule but you and me know it well that the Iraqis were better off with Saddam than the post Saddam era. The economy and all social service delivery systems are completely broken down. It will be decades for Iraq to recover from the post war woes if they will ever recover anyway. How many civilians had been killed prior to the air raids in Tripoli and Benghazi and how many have lost lives in the raids aimed at saving them from their Gaddafi?! Africa and especially the seemingly developed Magareb region seems to be a target for the western economies. Let's leave the Africans handle their own affairs otherwise we'll lose confidence in UN as some cases are handled discriminatively and one can't rule out the oil drive in the speed with which Oil countries' issues are speedily handled. God save africa as we're left with no international body to speak for us! And Comrade Gaddafi don't lead Libyans into martyrdom but see them through the crisis by giving them dignified treatment and respect their rights and do all within your powers to stop the killings from either side.
