Media reports say US-led Western countries have failed to properly respond to the ongoing massacre committed by forces loyal to Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi. A Times Online report said the counteroffensive launched by the Gaddafi regime against revolutionary forces is increasing pressure on the West to help stop the fighting in the North African country. Several Western countries have been accused of turning a blind eye to the deadly crackdown in Libya in order to protect their economic interests. Libya currently provides about 20 percent of Italy's oil imports. It has developed cordial relations with Britain, France and the United States as well. The criticism comes as heavy battles continue between anti-government forces and regime troops near the Libyan capital Tripoli as Gaddafi clings on to power.

Authors Bio:
I am a student of history, religion, exoteric and esoteric, the Humanities in general and a tempered advocate for the ultimate manifestation of peace, justice and the unity of humankind through self-realization and mutual respect, although I am not a pacifist, nor do I believe in peace at any price, which is no peace at all but only delays inevitable conflict. There are times when the world must act. Planetary consciousness is evolving, but there are many retrograde forces that would drag us back down.

I have also written one book, a combination of poetry, photography and essays entitled "Post Katrina Blues", my reflections on the Gulf Coast and New Orleans two years after Katrina struck. Go to the store at http://sanfranciscobaypress.com/ to purchase. And I also have a blog called Plutonian Mac.
