61. That claim has now been disputed. Can you provide proof
of that claim? I am hoping that the UN's calls for investigations now will provide proof, rather than 'claims' by those who had an interest in spreading those rumors. Eg, we now know that the claims of Gadaffi using his air force to bomb civilians was totally false.

I see a lot of these kinds of claims, but so far, I have seen no proof. Soldiers of a sovereign nation, which much as you appear to have forgotten, Libya was and was recognized as such by both the Bush and Obama administrations, have a right to defend themselves against armed insurrectionists. Unless you think this is not the case, then other than deaths on both sides, attributed to such circumstances, where is the proof of the 'massacring of civilians'.

We know, eg, that Karamov of Uzbekistan massacred unarmed civilians. Have you protested our support of this dictator yet? I have been protesting it for several years now. Did you protest the Bush and Obama administrations' support for the Gadaffi regime, say this time last year? I don't recall seeing any such protests here at all.

But back to standards of proof. Now that we know that the 'he's bombing people from the air' claim was false, that kind of puts into question the rest of these claims doesn't it?
