This country ranks 53rd on the HDI [Human Development Index] index, better than all other African countries and also better than the richer and Western-backed Saudi Arabia.
The government provides all citizens with free health care and [has] achieved high coverage in the most basic health areas. . . . The life expectancy rose to 74.5 years and is now the highest in Africa. .
The infant mortality rate declined to 17 deaths per 1,000 births and is not nearly as high as in Algeria (41) and also lower than in Saudi Arabia (21).
“The UNDP [United Nations Development Program] certified that this country has also made ‘a significant progress in gender equality,’ particularly in the fields of education and health, while there is still much to do regarding representation in politics and the economy.
With a relative low ‘index of gender inequality’ the UNDP places the country in the Human Development Report 2010 concerning gender equality at rank 52 and thus also well ahead of Egypt (ranked 108), Algeria (70), Tunisia (56), Saudi Arabia (ranked 128) and Qatar (94)” [3].
Ok, name that country!
If you said Libya, you are correct.
At least you were until the brutal death and destruction wrought on Libya by the relentless US/NATO bombardment because of “humanitarian concerns”.

Have the Papist missionaries landed yet?
If you answer yes, you have the SECOND major reason we're there.
The first is to make sure Libya is subservient to the WB/IMF and multinational corporate interests.
Ted - You're right. That's the same reason they are always trying to pin something on Iran.
the whole thing is so feckin insane. the cia supports and trains the taliban then a decade later countless billions are spent trying to contain them.
who's running this nut house?
Billy - I think the main thing that got the Taliban in trouble was shutting down the opium production.
Not to worry though, now that the U.S. army is guarding the poppy fields, opium production is way,way up.
It is a nut house.
We pay for the military to guard the poppy fields.
We pay the DEA to try to stop the flow of heroin. We pay the DEA and police to put people in prison for having heroin. We pay for the lawyers to defend them. We pay to build new prisons, we pay for prison guards. We pay all day for both sides of the wars, for both sides of the drug war. Pay,pay, pay it's the American way!
Just think of what WE have to look forward to.
I really hope Alex Jones is a crackpot that is discredited by the passing of time and events, because the alternative is that he's really on to something, or just scratched the surface of all the bullshit about to come down on US.
Ted - I think A. J. is onto something, the people need to grow up, realize that they will not get the truth from the TV news and face reality.
