The Gaddafi syndrom

We all know what is going on in Libya at the moment, the People of Libya simply don't want their leader anymore. Excentric Muammar Al Gaddafi is unwanted by his own people and certainly not just since the time where the protest started.

He is the Lybian leader since 42 years now and always ruled very hard on his own people. The word dictator is certainly a good description for him.

The whole world or at least the leaders of the world most important countries like USA, UK, Germany, France and so on did know what kind of leader he is but still they never thought about to do anything against him. They didn't mind to accept his gifts and take his oil and never was any word mentioned about his people and how they were treated.

Now suddenly, when finally the people were brave enough to speak up against Gaddafi they finally urged him to step down and they think about to take more serious steps against him, His foreign accounts are frozen and The Hague investigates in the matter of war crimes against him and his closest circle including his son Saif Al Gaddafi.

So how serious can we actually take our politicians when it comes to international relations? What comes first for them? Money or in this case oil or the people who are suffering under a leader who is obviously insane?
As long as it was not really widespread in the news they just accepted his leadership even though they exactly knew what was going on for years.

A serious breach of Human Rights for 42 years!

Please also note that Gaddafi itself said that he is not Libya's leader as he don't have any official position but on the other side he is saying that he won't step aside and fight and rather die then stepping down.

I took Libya as an example but we all know that exactly the same is going on with so many other leaders in the world, lets look at China (Politicians rather don't mention human rights because their afraid of loosing business deals), UAE, Saudi Arabia are just a few examples from a long list......
