Empty village raises concerns about fate of black Libyans 
 Source: McClatchy

By David Enders

TAWERGHA, Libya — This town was once home to thousands of mostly black non-Arab residents. Now, the only manmade sound is a generator that powers a small militia checkpoint, where rebels say the town is a "closed military area."

What happened to the residents of Tawergha appears to be another sign that despite the rebel leadership's pledges that they'll exact no revenge on supporters of deposed dictator Moammar Gadhafi, Libya's new rulers often are dealing harshly with the country's black residents.

According to Tawergha residents, rebel soldiers from Misrata forced them from their homes on Aug. 15 when they took control of the town. The residents were then apparently driven out of a pair of refugee camps in Tripoli over this past weekend.

"The Misrata people are still looking for black people," said Hassan, a Tawergha resident who's now sheltering in a third camp in Janzour, six miles east of Tripoli. "One of the men who came to this camp told me my brother was killed yesterday by the revolutionaries."

1. I have no doubt that when everything shakes out, the rebels will prove to

be no improvement over gaddafi. Also i have no doubt that the people who promoted this war will never admit that non-difference.

3. The only difference will be the bank accounts the oil profits go to.
 I will take a stab and say it won't be the Libyan people.

8. Damn, that's well said.
 The goody two-shoes warmongers will make any excuses necessary or convenient, but the simple truth is this: everything bad that happened or will happen after March 19th is their fault. Besides arrogantly breaching national sovereignty in a situation where there was no appreciable bloodshed, they stuck our collective noses into a very complex situation, and did it on the cheap.

Butter won't melt in their mouths; they are by definition morally superior for siding with the rebels, regardless of whether this was an actual grassroots rebellion or a sham bolstered by Islamists, foreign influences and some legitimate dissidents.

There was a term in the 80s in the Bay Area that should have stuck better: virtuecrat. It defined those who were so smugly sanctimonious in their own superiority that they could justify any horror their allies did and still talk down to the unenlightened.

Thank you, and welcome to the board, Bateau Ivre...

Stick around; it's a vibrant place and this is not going to go down smoothly, unless all ethnic cleansing is covered up.

France, Germany and the leader of the US progressive movement.

All the people who told us to stay out of Iraq.

Speaking of Iraq comparisons: where's Obama AUMF?

14. George Washington wasn't all that different from King George, really. Was he?
 What a thoughtless reason for supporting a dictator.

17. George Washington? Really?
 
You're comparing these people who are raping black women and rounding up whole communities of black Africans to George Washington?

Washington owned slaves or something.

19. Washington was involved in the "Indian Wars"
 before the Revolution and although I don't know about the raping, I do know entire communities were wiped out by Washington and his armies.

Dipshit, those were the FRENCH and Indian wars. The indians were mercenaries for the French who were fighting the British for control of colonies and century long standing disputes.

21. Whenever the Western powers back new puppets
 they are compared to the Founders, it's part of the ritual.

Only on the left and this time the warmonger is the guy you voted for in 2008 and will vote for in 2012 just so you can keep your share of taxpayer money.

No blood for welfare!

Couple of things in that aren't clear, MSB.  France and Germany?  France was all in for Libya, Germany said "**** that noise, not interested" what were you trying to say exactly?

Also, the French and Indian Wars involved different Indian nations/confederations on each side, some of the Indian tribes were French allies but some were British allies, too.  It turned out rather badly for the losers, both White and Red.

I bet this is one of the jackasses that thinks morality is really subjective.  That precludes any single morality from being superior to the other, logically.

Every time a liberal utters the word "moral" I get sick to my stomach.

Perhaps an overly broad indictment and IIRC the post-WW2 German constitution forbids international military deployments, or at least that was the debate vis-a-vis A-stan.

Still, France is part of the same, single political body as Germany and to claim Germany does not share in the culpability is to say the US could not be held responsible for Arizona declaring war against Mexico. And the same economic motives would bring Germany into alignment with the French excursion.

No dispute but whether the natives were settling scores against rival tribes or had some preference for one European or the other is at best a secondary concern in their motives. My point is the liberal deliberately constructed his statement to only say "Indian Wars." A lie of omission used in a sad attempt to make GW appear as the sole, white belligerent, thereby proving some pointless point that American genocide against the natives is wholly and completely an American indictment. His beloved French--AGAIN--were as guilty if not more so but he ignores that inconvenient fact. nor were the natives innocent because they were mercenaries, not beseiged freedom fighters nobly defending an ancient, peace-loving, ecologically harmonious civilization from white devils. Sometimes Blackwater is red.

I like you DAT. You're a man of history.

A kindred spirit and well learned.

Sometime I feel like you're the only one who truly understands me.

They're delicious.

Seriously, though, I am thinking about building some hutches and raising the little fuzzballs next Spring.
