The similarities between Libya & Iraq are plain to see: both countries preferred, or were planning to, keep oil revenue for the benefit of their citizens and both countries either had, or were planning to, trade their oil in another currency other than US Dollars.
Much of what was written about Iraq turned out to be fictitious, human shredders, yellow cake from Niger, weapons of mass destruction, and now it appears the situation in Libya before the NATO induced coup d'etat is not quite what the western media, especially the BBC & SKY, would have us believe.
In January 2011 the UN Human Rights Council issued a report on Libya praising their Human Rights record:http://www2.ohchr.org/english/bodies/hrcouncil/docs/16session/A-HRC-16-15.pdf
