OMFG Can you believe the LIBYANS???

[koshergrl]

If the tribal leaders stop protecting them and start in on them, they're toast.

But I have to say..what motivated many of them was a fear of being bombed.

I thought you said "**** muslims" a while ago....?

Actually, **** Islam.

And I still feel that way. If they want to regulate themselves, that's great. So far, they haven't. We'll see.

Libyans hold giant march demanding militias disband in wake of attack on US consulate - The Washington Post

BENGHAZI, Libya — Around 30,000 Libyans marched through the eastern city of Benghazi on Friday in an unprecedented protest to demand the disbanding of powerful militias in the wake of last week’s attack that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.

The attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, in which at least one militia is suspected of participating, has sparked a backlash among many Libyans against the multiple armed factions that have run rampant for months in cities around the country. The militias have become more powerful than the regular security forces, and successive governments since last year’s fall of Moammar Gadhafi have been unable to rein them in.

Other signs mourned the killing of U.S. Amb. Chris Stevens, reading, “The ambassador was Libya’s friend” and “Libya lost a friend.”

And some idiots here wanted to bomb them. This is an encouraging sign that some Middle Eastern countries actually want to become moderate.

I wonder what happens if the militias refuse which I suspect they will and how long it will be before the militias start killing the protesters if they keep pushing?

wouldn't be the first time people died fighting tyrannical, oppressive bullies filled with hate and bigotry. There are many more normal people in this world than there are madmen. The Fundies may have the guns,but the decent people have the numbers. I can only pray this sort of thing catches on like wildfire.

 

[koshergrl]

If this is for real, they have said they're going to give them a chance to redeem themselves, but if they refuse to..

well, who knows what, if anything, they'll do.

But to hear them defending an American...that's a good thing.

Might have been a good idea not to have killed him then....

Only person that bombed Libya in the last 20 years was Obama.

Libya and the Muslim Brotherhood condemned the attack on the Consulate quickly. The hatred spawned by Bush's War may be fading, we can only hope.

The problem is the radicals with guns have a long history of winning out in the middle east maybe this will be different but I have my doubts.

Obama bombed Gaddafi's military...

Maybe this will make some Muslim/Arab knee jerk haters think a little in not just black and white.

 

[koshergrl]

God shut up, peach.

Count on a liberal to take something with the potential to be good, and make it nasty.

 

[francoHFW]

Yup, forget about the catastrophe Bush, 9/11, the stupidest wars ever, making AlQaeda a worldwide movement, and the depression...Anyway, the Arab Spring continues, Libya is brilliant. Get your 'merican FUNDIES under control fcs.

there seems to be a battle in countries like libya between the moderate normal people and the rightwingnut religious fundies who believe in blowing up stuff they don't like.

oh wait....

More leftwing idiots since the lefty idiots back the nuts.

The democratic nuts, as a opposed to the safe dictators ...messy, eh? Democracy is like that...

Hundreds of protesters angry over last week's killing of the U.S. ambassador to Libya stormed the compound of the Islamic extremist militia suspected in the attack, evicting militiamen and setting fire to their building Friday.

In an unprecedented show of public anger at Libya's rampant militias, the crowd overwhelmed the compound of the Ansar al-Shariah Brigade in the center of the eastern city of Benghazi.
