As I explained in “The Egyptian Crisis” Libya is a wild-card nation. The popular uprising there was initially close to being successful but, then, Kadhaffi’s loyalist armed forces and mercenaries regrouped and staged a massive counter-attack. Although many army units defected to the rebel side, the air force remained under government control. Relentlessly pounded from the air, and with artillery and tank support fire, the rebels began to retreat to their strongholds in the east. Close to defeat, the UN finally voted to install a “no fly zone” in the country while blockading the coast and establishing several financial sanctions.


The U.S. Mars and Uranus lines pass through Libya. Ronald Reagan’s use of military force against Kadhaffi caused his regime to renounce nuclear efforts and seek peace with the west. Now it is time again for the U.S. to strike Libya (Mars). The Uranus line indicates freedom and independence. The United States, along with other UN forces, will help the rebels overthrow the unstable Libyian leader in the name of humanitarianism and personal freedom.
