PJ: Just as Gaddafi makes claims about the reason for the unrest (about how, aided by the US, bin Laden is drugging the protesters), leaders in Venezuela and Cuba have echoed each other's claims of conspiracy by the west. Could it be that the three leaders, who rule their countries with an iron fist, fear for their power? And by making the west, or the US, the enemy they might escape the fate of Mubarak?
Venezuela: US, allies fomenting Libya's violence
Venezuela's top diplomat on Thursday echoed Fidel Castro's accusation that Washington and its allies are fomenting unrest in Libya to justify an invasion to seize North African nation's oil reserves.
Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro claimed the United States and other powerful countries are trying to create a movement inside Libya aimed at toppling Moammar Gaddafi.
Maduro did not condemn or defend the violent crackdown on Libyans participating in the popular uprising against Gaddafi's long rule.
He called for a peaceful solution to the upheaval in Libya and questioned the veracity of media reports on the bloody uprising, which has crept closer to Gaddafi's stronghold in Tripoli.
"They are creating conditions to justify an invasion of Libya," Maduro said.
"Libya is going through difficult times, which should not be measured with information from imperial news agencies," Maduro added, referring to Western media.
