More speculation has been raised on the reasons for NATO's intervention in Libya. As RT's Laura Emmett reports, the organisation may have been trying to prevent Gaddafi from burying the American buck.
NATO's bombing campaign in Libya has lasted for nearly two months now, but has failed to break the stalemate of the civil war. Geopolitical analyst Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya thinks the coalition has a vested interest in making the conflict last.
In an interview with John Baron, a British Member of Parliament and one of the few who voted against taking action in Libya, RT discussed the possibility of all-out war in this country.
Syrian troops, backed by tanks, have reportedly entered the costal town of Baniyas. It follows a day of nationwide protests across the country that left 30 people dead. The US is warning the regime that it will take new steps against it, in response to the latest bloody crackdown by security forces. Syrian officials blame armed terrorist groups for the unrest, while protesters say they want an end to decades of repression and corruption. It's now thought more than 580 people have been killed since the uprising began almost two months ago. With US sanctions already in place, and the threat of more to come, the EU has also agreed on an assets freeze and a travel ban for top Syrian officials. RT talks more on this with International Relations expert, Professor Mark Almond from Bilkent University in Turkey.
Susan Lindauer, a journalist and author specializing on American interventions, has never believed the allied forces intervened in Libya out of humanitarian reasons. It is a war for oil which was prepared long ago, Lindauer argues - anyone who cared about the Libyan people would stop immediately.
