Gaddafi Says it’s Illegal
Gaddafi claims UN military intervention ‘illegal’
Is it? According to whom?
Does he think he's Michael Jackson?
If we take the position that it is illegal to invade or interfere with the internal affairs of another sovereign nation, one might argue that Gaddafi is right. However, one would be incorrect.
A person is not a sovereign nation. Gaddafi is just a criminal thug who has taken millions of people hostage ad held them for decades. Libya is not a nation, it’s a piece of land infected by a bandit thug imposing his will on the people there. Helping those people repel attacks from said thug after they have escaped his grip has nothing to do with the sovereignty of any “nation” because there is no nation in Libya.
Of course, the same can be said of any other dictatorship, such as Cuba, China, or Saudi Arabia.
Questioning the legality of such a thing is really rather silly. There are reasons to get involved and reasons not to get involved. Those deserve discussion. But the claims of a dictator should never be part of the equation.
This is the main problem with the “United Nations”. Most of the seats in the United “Nations” are not occupied by representatives of nations, but by employees of thugs who only represent their thug employer. Libya has no seat in the UN. Gaddafi has a seat in it, but the people of Libya have no representation in the UN at all. Neither do the people of China, Cuba, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Sudan, the list goes on. We shouldn’t participate in the UN either. It has never served any useful purpose and only extracts money from civilized nations’ taxpayers to benefit third world dictators who make of a majority of the body.
