Dictators panic

I do not want to be emperor. That's not my job, but to help everyone if possible. Black or white. Jews or Gentiles. We must help each other, human beings are like that. We want to make others happy, not make us miserable. We do not want to hate or help anyone. In this world there's room for everyone and the good earth is rich and can provide for all beings. The road of life can be free and beautiful, but we lost. Greed has poisoned weapons, has erected barriers of hatred, has pushed us to the misery and bloodshed.
We have developed quickly, but we have shut ourselves. The machinery, which creates abundance has left us in need. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness hard and dry. We too, are very little.
More than machinery we need more humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. The airplane and the radio have brought us closer. The true nature of these inventions require human goodness requires the universal brotherhood that unites us all of us.
Hatred pass and dictators die, and power that took away the people have returned to the village, and thus, while Man, liberty will never perish. Soldiers: Do not give yourselves to those who actually despise you, enslave you, regulate your lives and tell them what you have to do, what to say and feel. I sweep the brain, I baited, they treat you like cattle, as cannon fodder. Do not give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine, with machine minds and hearts. You are not cattle, you are not machines, are men. You carry the love of humanity in your hearts, not hatred. Only the unloved hate.
Soldiers: Do not fight for slavery, but for freedom. In chapter 17 of Luke we read: "The Kingdom of God is not a man or a group of men, but in all men ..." You the men have the power. The power to create machines, the power to create happiness, the power to make this life free and beautiful and make it a wonderful adventure.
Fight for the world of reason. A world where science, progress, lead us all to happiness. Soldiers, in the name of democracy, we must pull together. Look up! The clouds are lifting, the sun is breaking. We are emerging from the darkness into the light. We are reaching a new world where men will rise above their hate and brutality. The soul of man has wings and is finally starting to fly. He is flying into the rainbow - a light of hope - in the future, that glorious future that belongs to you and me and all us. Look up. Look up!
This is the great speech of Charlie Chaplin in his 1940 film, The Great Dictator. And it has never been more effective. I share with you (thanks to good friend who sent it to me) because the world is now shakes great dictators. Those men in the name of independence, anti-imperialism and divine anointing, they seize by decades of countries and human beings that inhabit it, making their people unhappy for them to enjoy the great happiness of all dictators stay in power at the expense of blood and pain. came
the time of the fall of the great dictators of those arriving by coups, of which have been re-elected with constitutional mask of those who believe that govern in the name of God or Allah Peoples rulers pulled outraged Tunisia and Egypt. Muammar Gaddafi is ready to feel the hatred that has risen in the Libyan his 42 years of abuse. Next on the list Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, with 31 years in power, Omar El Bashir of Sudan, with 22 years in power, Teodoro Obiang, Equatorial Guinea, with 32 years in power Musereni Yoweri, Uganda with 25 years in power, Ali Abdullah Saleh of Yemen, with 21 years in power. Should be shaking Aleksander Lukashenko of Belarus, who remains 17 years in the presidency of Belarus (called the "last European dictatorship") and Kim Jong Il, the North Korean dictator for 17 years. Not to mention the mummified dictator Fidel Castro called, which continues to rule by his brother Raul, after having destroyed Cuba for 50 years continuously.
Foreign Policy magazine, respected in the international policy areas, made a list that has 40 dictators who rule by autocratic means over 1,900 million inhabitants of the planet. The list includes coup, kings and presidents of origin election but who have twisted the laws of their countries to be re-elected in perpetuity. And sadly, Venezuela is on that list. In the post 17.

JUAN MIGUEL MUÑOZ on Wednesday after their failed assault on Brega. Medical sources have told France Presse that the clashes have caused "many dead and wounded." What is really at stake is control of the area between Benghazi, the capital of the rebels, and Sirte, the real aim of the rebels to be the birthplace of the dictator and the great bulwark of their power with Tripoli. To the west, security forces loyal to Qadhafi has strongly attacked the opposition in Zauiya, the first western city where protests succeeded, leaving dozens of casualties.

The rebels have attacked the base with mortars and rockets.
The Gaddafi loyalists have responded and the exchange of gunfire has lasted at least an hour, which the rebels have also resisted attacks from the air using helicopters. "We have launched rockets and missiles at a military base that protects access to the oil terminal Ras Lanuf, on the outskirts of the city, "said another rebel." Let us all, "proclaimed Magdi Mohammed, part of the outpost.
Also at the front line , the anti-Gaddafi has claimed control of the airport immediately. After hours of fighting also the city: "We have taken Ras Lanuf 100%, all forces have been Gaddafi," said the soldier from Hafez Ihrahim the center of the town told Reuters by telephone. The Libyan government has been quick to deny these reports claiming that they are loyal to the dictator forces that control the main port city.
rebel Despite the momentum, the battle is still uneven. The rebels are measured to a body of well-trained and equipped paramilitary. At least two dozens of rebels armed with Kalashnikov rifles and rocket launchers put towards Ras Lanuf this morning. One of the columns were advancing towards this important oil port. Rebel units have gone into the desert and have avoided the direct route by road to reach Ras Lanuf, for fear of encountering the forces of Gaddafi. "Gaddafi's dog has aircraft and armored vehicles. It's harder to see us in the desert," said a former Army officer now a member of Libyan Coalition February 17.
Parallel to the rebel offensive, the head of the National Council, a sort of transitional government, has given encouragement to those fighting on the front with a fiery speech from Al Baida. "We will not surrender. Victory or death. We will not stop until we liberate the whole country ... the time of hypocrisy over," proclaimed Mustafa Abdel Jalil. The crowds have shouted: "Libya is free and Qaddafi must leave."
Dozens of dead

But the reality is that Qaddafi is unwilling to leave and is using its strength. Especially in the area that is stronger, west of the country. Zauiya is the case, the first town in the Western victory at the protests, some 50 kilometers west of Tripoli. "We believe possibly Zauiya be under total government control tonight," Ibrahim Musa has said, government spokesman on state television.
Residents of the city contacted by telephone by Reuters officials have explained that security forces loyal to the dictator have come to the city to drive out opponents who are concentrated in the center of town. "We still have control of the central plaza and they are about 4 or 5 miles distance, "stated a spokesman for the rebels." [Gaddafi's forces] have fired on civilians, "he added while confirming that the dead is the" military commander "of insurgents in the zone. death toll - Reuters figure by at least 30 people and television Al Jazeera has risen to fifty-has not been independently verified by the restrictions imposed on journalists to move by Libya.
According to the account offered by the rebels to Reuters, the bombs fell nearby but failed to damage the installation.

Request for help
Gaddafi no longer control over most of the 13 air bases in Libya, has caused extensive damage and destruction from the air. This is the reason why the National Council, a sort of transitional government yesterday asked the international community to establish an air exclusion zone over the country. Libyan aviation grew to nearly 200 combat aircraft, mainly Russian-made. "We only have between 20 and 25 fighter jets," he told this newspaper Colonel Aviation Zuayeh Jamal Mansur, become a rebel more.
seems impossible to stop the momentum of thousands of young men and older age, burning with desire to join the ranks of the rebels to fight in a first line that moves very slowly, among other reasons by bad preparation, if you have had some of the novice fighters. Some have been wounded in recent days, sometimes very serious, while driving arms. The commands that organize the new army try to take stock of weapons held by many citizens in their homes after the assault for several arsenals and refuse to deliver to those who need to join the fight.
