Who are the libyan 'rebels'?

By Mac McKinney

Just who are the freedom fighters who have been struggling against the Gaddafi regime for six months now, having finally collapsed this 42-year old dictatorship? Are they rats and insects like Gaddafi and his brood claim, NATO agents like half the Left claims, al Qaeda Terrorists like both much of the Left AND Right claim, or just plain humans struggling for freedom?

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.
