"Why is Museveni bloviating so much about Libya? Is he feeling the heat from a distance? Or does he suspect his governance style has a lot in common with the Libyan dictator whose country is festooned with billboards proclaiming “42 years of permanent happiness?” So many questions the Ugandan leader needs to ask about himself. Above all he should rise above undergraduate reasoning that permeates his op-eds.

Interesting thought there. M7 is a regional warlord! Gaddafi too has sponsored rebels all over Africa(including M7's NRM)

This too:

"We have been appealing to the UN to impose a no-fly-zone over Somalia so as to impede the free movement of terrorists linked to Al-Qaeda who killed Americans on 9/11, killed Ugandans last July and have caused so much damage to the Somalis, without success.

Why? Are there no human beings in Somalia similar to the ones in Benghazi? Or is it because Somalia does not have oil which is not fully controlled by western companies on account of Gaddafi’s nationalist posture?"

Presidet Omar Bongo of Gabon used to receive a small annual token of 50 million euros from French oil firm Elf.

Now I understand why Sarkozy has been zealous in the war!

If you saw my earlier comment, i actually said that I don't care whether the US are invading Libya/Iraq for selfish reasons (Oil) or not. My stand is informed by my own selfish reasons, and that is the world is a better place with less dictators in non oil producing countries after the US gets rid of the one's sitting on Oil.

Besides, this arguement about oil being the motive is not 100% correct, regardless of who owns the oil, it is still bought and sold freely in the world markets. And regardless of which company drills the oil, they are all quoted on the various world stock markets and any one can buy in.

Qsn. Is the US buying Iraqi Oil at a discount?
