The military intervention in Iraq, Libya, and Syria by the United States and the NATO Western military alliance is responsible for triggering the invasion crisis in Europe, Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs (FPÖ), Freedom Party of Austria leader HC Strache has said.
“The USA and NATO have destroyed Iraq and Libya with their military intervention, bombs, and missiles; provided financial, logistical, and military support to the opposition against President Assad in Syria, and thus made possible the destruction, chaos, suffering, and radical Islamism (IS) in the region,” Strache said on his Facebook page.
The FPÖ currently leads opinion polls ahead of the far left Sozialdemokratische Partei Österreichs (SPÖ, Social Democratic Party of Austria) and their traditional coalition partners, the conservative Österreichische Volkspartei (ÖVP, Austrian People’s Party).

Obama and Kerry need to step in here and put a full stop to all the wars.
They're screwing up the chance of a lifetime.

I agree with you and your idea, but isn't this a remarkable paradox? How, in this situation with Iraq/ISIS/Assad/Syrian Rebels/the Kurds, do you end a war without.....making more war? Without making war on those making war, no peace can be achieved because the combatants would never be disarmed.
I don't see a peaceful resolution to this mess. Do you?

I agree with everything you have said. However the mass don't see this. I feel pity for the young families being pushed from hole to hole but they are being used to create a public support for going in to Syria and whoever else is next. The noises from the UK government have shown support for the bombing of Syria and eventually this will end up with boots on the ground.
I have been shocked with talking to people I know and the overwhelming support to go to war. This well covered mass movement of refugees is being used to the max to spark support for further was in the middle east.
Sad

you're right...we should have let the moral, upstanding, leaders of the middle eastern countries kill their own people, without any interference from the America...like we are currently doing in Iraq and Syria....so...how's that working out for you?
1. In Libya a home is considered a natural human right
In Gaddafi’s Green Book it states: ”The house is a basic need of both the individual and the family, therefore it should not be owned by others”. Gaddafi’s Green Book is the formal leader’s political philosophy, it was first published in 1975 and was intended reading for all Libyans even being included in the national curriculum.
2. Education and medical treatment were all free
Under Gaddafi, Libya could boast one of the best healthcare services in the Middle East and Africa. Also if a Libyan citizen could not access the desired educational course or correct medical treatment in Libya they were funded to go abroad.
3. Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project
The largest irrigation system in the world also known as the great manmade river was designed to make water readily available to all Libyan’s across the entire country. It was funded by the Gaddafi government and it said that Gaddafi himself called it ”the eighth wonder of the world”.
4. It was free to start a farming business
If any Libyan wanted to start a farm they were given a house, farm land and live stock and seeds all free of charge.
5. A bursary was given to mothers with newborn babies
When a Libyan woman gave birth she was given 5000 (US dollars) for herself and the child.
6. Electricity was free
Electricity was free in Libya meaning absolutely no electric bills!
7. Cheap petrol
During Gaddafi’s reign the price of petrol in Libya was as low as 0.14 (US dollars) per litre.
8. Gaddafi raised the level of education
Before Gaddafi only 25% of Libyans were literate. This figure was brought up to 87% with 25% earning university degrees.
9. Libya had It’s own state bank
Libya had its own State bank, which provided loans to citizens at zero percent interest by law and they had no external debt.
10. The gold dinar
Before the fall of Tripoli and his untimely demise, Gaddafi was trying to introduce a single African currency linked to gold. Following in the foot steps of the late great pioneer Marcus Garvey who first coined the term ”United States of Africa”. Gaddafi wanted to introduce and only trade in the African gold Dinar – a move which would have thrown the world economy into chaos.
The Dinar was widely opposed by the ‘elite’ of today’s society and who could blame them. African nations would have finally had the power to bring itself out of debt and poverty and only trade in this precious commodity. They would have been able to finally say ‘no’ to external exploitation and charge whatever they felt suitable for precious resources. It has been said that the gold Dinar was the real reason for the NATO led rebellion, in a bid to oust the outspoken leader.
So, was Muammar Gaddafi a Terrorist?
