The United States Congress in its wisdom and for the national interests of the United States should support the Libyan cause and the Libyan revolution all the way until Mr Qaddafi and his regime is defeated and out of power completely.Many people will suggest why would we follow such a policy.You have to understand the condition which the Arab world and all of its people live in.In my life time I heard nothing but complaining from the Arab people about thier dire and misery living under such form of government.A region which is rich in resources has the most under privileged group of people.The reason is such fleeting governments lead by dictators who inherited powers mostly by blood coups or other non democratic ways kept the fortunes of their people for their own personal uses and only supported faithful servants .The rich gotten so rich and poor got more miserable and poorer.Since the creation of the modern Arab states or what they call Independence from Colonial western powers and the creation of the State of Israel,The Arab people were brain washed by their own governments of the threat coming to them by what they call the evil intentions of Israel and its allies to keep the Arab divided and scared.

Arab people lived in fear which is manufactured by their leaders to control them.The fake struggle to keep the Arabs land free of the Israeli intervention created a situation where people accepted such leaders until they defeat Israel and its allies.Years passed and hate and extremist groups flourished and the results were inner fights and struggle and more misery.In some Arab countries leaders control their own people using the threat of inner tribes conflicts if they would ceased power claiming such powerful tribes will take control and rule with an Iron fists.

What Arab leaders promised their people and what they actually did were two different things.On the outside leaders will say they are defending Arab rights while they were actually accumulating more wealth by selling to the highest bidders whether friends or foe.

The Arab people realized after years of wars and conflict for much of the 20 Th century that their lives has not changed much and current so called threats to the Arab unity and Arab cultures did not come from outside colonial powers and Israel,it actually came from within.

A side from the so called threat of an Israeli invasions the biggest dividers of the Arab world are their own leaders personal vendetta's and fights and hate for each other

In all Arab countries speaking or criticizing a king or presidents in public landed the persons involved in prison without a trial for unspecific time using the charges of endangering the national unity.Arabs prisons are of full of political activists and the Western world privileged with cheap energy prices only criticized what they called the rouge countries or in my opinions countries who favored another buyer over the other.Libya is one of the most brutal dictatorships of the Arab world yet the western countries who are attacking it now are the same who favored Qaddafi and welcomed him in London,Rome and Paris.

If the Western worlds led by the United States of America support such uprising against brutal leaders such as Qaddafi and Assad and let the people decide their fate and install democratic regimes with well defined constitutions and protection of human rights such people will have the burden to chose leaders for short term and deal with them using the law of the land.I believe their economic and political well being will create a healthy population seeking wealth and the pursue of happiness and will encourage them to join the civilized world and keep extremest and religious fanatics away from using poor and under privileged masses to serve their destructive agendas and evil goals.

The Arab people looked around and realized they have to change or the train of time will pass them,but to help them reach such goals we have to support the Arab revolutions against tryrants and bring in those population to same path which will leads them toward freedom and prosperity and becoming a productive members of the world society.
