The purpose of NATO's bombing of Tripoli is to terrorize the population into relinquishing support for Libyan figurehead Muammar Gaddafi.

::::::::

It is already quite apparent that NATO's goal in bombing Tripoli has been regime change, and not the protection of civilians. There is absolutely no reason why NATO should side with a rebellious faction and attempt to overthrow the current Libyan regime. But that's what NATO has been doing under the guise of what it says is an effort to protect civilians.

These NATO monsters are now doing the same thing that was done to Belgrade in the 1990s. The purpose of the NATO air attack is to terrorize civilians in order to drive a wedge between them and Libyan figurehead Muammar Gaddafi. This sort of terrorist bombing constitutes a war crime.

The heads of all NATO nations are guilty of war crimes to the degree they have participated in this unvarnished and deadly attack on civilians. The U.S. government is guilty, and as law abiding citizens, Americans should let government officials know that they will be charged with war crimes for terrorizing civilians with lethal force, and destroying the infrastructure upon which they depend in their everyday lives.

Civilians are more afraid of air attacks than perhaps any other type of war action, and this is precisely the reaction NATO is trying to produce in the population. They wish to wear down the population, and that is why pundits who support the NATO action keep counseling patience. They are sure the Libyan resolve to resist the NATO assault can be broken.

Americans and other NATO nations should prepare to pay war reparations for every bit of damage inflicted upon the Libyans. For countries in the midst of a severe economic crisis, the NATO bombardment is not a worthy investment by any means. It shall come back to bite them.

Now is the time for Americans to insist on a complete halt in U.S. participation in the NATO bombardment of Libya.
