We often here the phrase "American Imperialism" bantered about
by goverments, revolutionaries, etc. How about Libyan Imperialism?
Is not Khadafy intervening in Chad, sending hit squads abroad, and 
other not-so-friendly types of ventures. Why do the nations
which so often accuse the US of covert actions now stand silent? No UN
resolution to denounce Libya? Is it that they are simply afraid of Libya?
Or does no one care enough about Chad to do (say) anything-except of
course the US, France, and Zaire. Why is Libyan aggression treated
differently than US agression? Or Israeli Agression? (I seem to remember
the Arab world having a major public heart attack
when the Israelis invaded Lebanon a year ago.)

Alternatively, has the Khadafy stiuation been blown out of proportion?
Has the press created the image of Khadafy as the madman? Any one else
with comments, I would like to see them.
