Reply #42: I wonder how you would objectively substantiate that the international

banking cabal was behind this? Would someone from Goldman Sachs have to write an OpEd in the Wall Street Journal admitting they dropped the dime on Ghaddafi? That's not ever going to happen, as we both know. Such miscreants don't leave fingerprints and they have the power and the money to shut up and coverup who and whatever.

Inductive reasoning is about recognizing patterns, connecting dots and making inferences based on one's findings and what makes sense. No, it's not absolute certainty, but few things are certain in this world.

There was a time when we (the US) thought Ghaddafi was an ok guy. When was that? Was he imprisoning and torturing his people then? If so, did we speak out? If not, why not? So, all of a sudden we discover he's a monster. What's changed?

As to the "uprising", how do we know who instigated that? When Mossedegh (sp?) nationalized the oil industry in Iran, the popular unrest was fomented by the CIA, as we now know. BP (or whatever they were called) was pissed. We didn't care that Sadaam gassed his own people, until he started talking about not trading oil in dollars. Then Bush the Least blathered about torture and rape rooms and Sadaam was toast.

I think I see a pattern. Follow the money.
