How Much Bull Will People Swallow About Libya?

The question is not about the right of the Libyan people to rise up against oppression, but whether it is actually being done by them on their own behalf or is a convenience of western governments eager to capture yet more oil for their consumer economies. Much of the left seems to have glommed onto the first half of this, all the while letting their critical senses ignore the second. For the powers that be, [it] can't be much sweeter than having so-called "lefties" cheering on your military adventures in the name of human rights.
