Violence violence, and more violence
Much violence is taking place in Libya, Libya is located on the African continent and they are very rich in oil. Since Libya is very rich in oil, they have countries like the United States that are interested in this resource. Libya is a place where it is great to get oil from because it is close to the Mediterranean and it is easier for countries to go and get the oil they need, it is an easier route in other words. Libya has been ruled for many decades by Gaddafi, and Gaddafi has been killing his own people. He doesn't want to resign power, and isn't planning to do so anytime soon. Gaddafi ordered to bomb a pipeline that is very important in obtaining the oil, and very crucial to the Libyan Economy. Since it hasn't been producing much oil, Libya has been getting it's oil from Saudi Arabia. Right now, the United States wants to help free the Libyan people and want Gaddafi to resign power, since he hasn't and has kept killing his own people because they have rebelled against him, the United States attacked Libya with Missile Strikes, not only the United States is trying to help Libya but also other European nations which feel for the Libyan people. There is much poverty in Libya, and many people are dying each and everyday because of ongoing violence. I honestly believe that as a united nation and a nation that believes in freedom, we do have somewhat of a responsibility to help the Libyans. Not only because we are interested in the Libyan oil, but because it is everyone's responsibility to take care of each other as human beings.
