The direct words of a Libyan widow

[bobbolink]

A bright voice from Libya's darkness

"We just wanted our freedom, that's all we wanted, we didn't want power. Before, we could not do a single thing if it was not the way he wanted it.

All we wanted was freedom. All we wanted was to be free. We have paid with our blood, with our families, with our men, and we're not going to give up.

We are still going to do that no matter what it takes, but we need help. We want to do this ourselves, but we don't have the weapons, the technology, the things we need. I don't want anyone to say that Libya got liberated by anybody else.

If NATO didn't start moving when they did, I assure you, I assure you, half of Benghazi if not more would have been killed. If they stop helping us, we are going to be all killed because he has no mercy anymore."

Go ahead, tear this apart. Tear me apart for posting it. I no longer care... I find I am caring more about the Libyan people than I do those in my own country anymore. They have heart and compassion... the US..not so much.
