Thank you, but no thank you!

Within these past few weeks, many events have happened, from Charlie Sheen's continuous crazy moments to Japan's  3 in 1 catastrophe (Earthquake, Tsunami & Nuclear radiation).
Everyone seems to have forgotten about these.  I personally don't mind forgetting about Charlie Sheen's antics, but it is a pity that Japan which suffered a greater catastrophe is practically forgotten and from states to celebrities are barely offering any help to Japan due to the fact that Japan has an advanced economy, which in my opinion such economical facts should be irrelevant since people's lives are at stake. If Japan was another Haiti then everyone would be storming off the help, even when Haiti experienced a less serious earthquake and all the damage that happened there is due to the ignorance of the people and the incompetence of the government to build proper safe buildings and from being incapable of providing humanitarian aid to their own people! I know it is a poor country, but come on, after donating so much money throughout the years through humanitarian missions, etc... to these third world countries, I have barely seen any improvement in these countries, they just seem to be a lost cause.
Anyway this blog isn't about humanitarian aid, but about the events in Libya, which have overshadowed everything that is happening simultaneously in the world. 
After a lot of thinking between the major western states, it has been decided through a UN Security Council Resolution that Libya is officially a no-fly zone and that further action can be taken to 'protect' the civilians.  Weirdly enough France, who is usually the whiniest country with no balls and a lot of talk, has taken the first action against Libya.  Followed by the UK and the US, both of which should have learned from their previous utter failures (Afghanistan, Iran, Vietnam) and just don't interfere since instead of fixing they only make things worse.
It's not that I don't want the Libyan people to achieve their desired democracy.  However, when one is trying to overthrow a powerful ruler, like Gaddafi, one can expect trouble to follow when one takes it against such persons.
After these attacks, Gaddafi has threatened the Mediterranean, when lets be honest none of the main Mediterranean countries have attacked Gaddafi, but the UK and the US who are far far away from the Med and France who isn't that near to Libya and so isn't that threatened, unlike Italy, Sicily, Malta, Crete, Cyprus and other countries in the region who are literally next door to Libya.
So maybe Gaddafi is bluffing, no one knows as no one can actually read minds, otherwise these would have long been hired by the secret services to mind read Gaddafi and other leaders.  Still even if Gaddafi doesn't blow up any air and sea vessels, not many people are going to risk taking their holidays or send their cargo to the Med due to such threats and risks and who is going to be affected by this? Not the US, UK and France, that's for sure, while us who live in the Med who didn't involve ourselves at all, are now the one's who are threatened.
It is obvious that these 3 don't give a care in the world about the rebels and that their main purpose for such attacks is to eventually have easier access to Libyan oil.  If their intentions were to actually help people, then they would have also taken action when Egypt and Tunisia were at 'war', when Georgia was being attacked by Eastern countries, when Zimbabwe was having issues with their government and when Ukraine also had internal problems, but in none of these countries did any of these 3 involve themselves, coincedence? Yes, as none of these are known to have any oil.  
Another 'coincedence' about these 3 countries, is that their leaders, Sarkozy, Cameron and Obama have all gotten backlash from their people for being incompetent in doing their job, all talk no action.  Probably these 3 thought that by helping some poor rebels would help them to look good in the eyes of their people.  Unfortunately, they lost credibility in my opinion, especially Obama who should definately return that Noble Peace Prize he got, since he has just proven, that the Noble Committee were drunk when they decided to give him the Prize.   So yes, something is definately fishy about these 3 Amigos. 
Still from the bottom of my heart who lives in the Med I would like to thank you, Mr Sarkozy, Mr Cameron and Mr Obama for 'protecting' the Libyan people, but no thank you for putting us unnecessarily in danger due to your egoistic intentions.
