Aljazeera Movie Question

What sources of tension, new + old, are revealed in the movie?

The Libyans had a Dictatorship, the rebels wanted a democracy like the United States, that is one reason why we are backing them. Another reason is oil. Libyan oil is special because it’s crud, and easy to refine. It is also uncertain were the oil that the Rebels are selling is going and being used for. It is also even more uncertain were the  money from the sold oil is being used for. It is thought that the United States doesn’t know much about the Rebels that they are helping.

  1. I agree oil is a big reason. Did you notice in the video that they were secretly producing the oil? I wonder why the secrecy and what is so important about the secrecy.
