NATO’s operation in Libya is a perfectly planned political spectacle which marks the beginning of the second colonization of Africa, declared former Belgian Parliament deputy speaker Lode Vanoost.
“The US and the European Union have very good professional analysts," he said. "They are not going to say it out loud, but they know perfectly well that there is not going to be a smooth and peaceful transition. That’s what they are counting on. That will give them a perfect excuse to intervene militarily on the ground."
NATO will not pull out by the end of its mandate in September, he predicted.
“I don’t like big words, but what I see is the beginning of the second colonization of Africa,” Vanoost added.

@ Jimevan I am sorry about the troubles Britain citizens are face and hope they are resolved soon. the answer to your question though is probably yes, and it is not just the oligarchs who think so. Many people I know would try or listen to anything that could possibly make things better. All the U.S. politicians have to do is slap on an extra "for the economy to stabalize" and people will agree to anything they say. It is getting a little desprate over here. I also used the word nationalist ,because I think that other political groups would prefer to avoid such a topic.

@ Mark ,but that in itself causes problems. If it did not Britain and France would still have their colonies.
