"Oil production is quickly being restored in Zawiyah and around the country, in large part because both the Qaddafi regime and the former rebels, now the interim leaders of Libya, took pains to avoid permanently crippling the country’s most important industry during their six-month civil war." 1) First, note the jubilation that Libya is back to producing oil. 2) Now you are saying that Qadhdhafi regime did not crippled the country's oil industry? Western (and Arab Saudi and Qatari) media for months told us that Qadhdhafi is bombing and crippling the oil industry. You forget the lies that you put out? They promote, or even invent in the case of New York Times, lies and then they pretend that they never had promoted them. This is like the New York Times "reporting" that Karzai's last election was fair, before reversing itself days later when it became clear how fraudulent elections were.
