Libya might soon turn into a goldmine for private security firms. Reports say that the UK is already hiring mercenaries to protect the interests of the big corporations there, once Colonel Gaddafi goes. But there are fears their chequered history in previous interventions could turn this civil-war-torn country - into a proper Wild West.RT on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/RTnews RT on Twitter: http://twitter.com/RT_com

Apr 15, 2011 - I know it sounds harsh but fighting to control oil has been going on for quite a long time and it is right to do so.Who controls oil controls the world. Oil is more important than gold to the industrialized world. Attacks on the oil rich countries where planed by Nixon and Kissenger and even before that. Shortly after Saudi Arabia nationalized it in 1948. Germany and Japan lost their wars due to oil shortages, then controlled by the USA. The flow of oil must not be intrerrupted.

Apr 16, 2011 - @odzadze123 lol. Oh please, the U.S. and the U.K. are equally shameful at the moment. How can you as an American call Shame when your own country is doing worse things at the moment. Focus on the U.S.'s problems first.

Apr 17, 2011 - @Laxcon I wholly agree in condemning the Cheney/Rumsfeld & Neo-con crowd for legalizing Mercenaries.But, still I think mercenaries are not innocent birds. So if you take a mercenary job, you know what you are getting into.

Apr 18, 2011 - The demand for security get real the more security you have the worse things get. The security forces are only to protect the rich while the poor stay impoverished, while things get steadily worse in there own home countries. People need to get there heads out of the sand and wake up that our military is only out to protect the interest of big corporations and big government not the interests. Soldiers do not uplift humanity they kill humans and blow up mother earth how dumb is that?

Apr 27, 2011 - @odzadze123 do some research and you will find that the Uk is not the only country with private security firms.....also,you cant blame an entire population for the actions of the few...so no shame on the English Scottish,Welsh or northern Irish people who populate the UK...I think Libya should sort out its own problems...why should the UK or anyone else help?

Apr 30, 2011 - is there any work on earth more truly evil than being a mercenary - just to kill for money. whoever pays more... regular military is ideological - defense, patriotism. but these fuckers, it's just money and the pleasure of killing.

May 8, 2011 - Jct: Youtube for "Gathafi's Green Book" so people can hear thoughts on democracy and fairly sharing the wealth from the hero our thugs Obama, Cameron, Sarkosy are trying to kill who gave his citizens one of the highest standards of living and best human rights records on the planet.

May 11, 2011 - sure, it looks unprovoked, but contractors fire on closely/quickly approaching vehicles because vbieds (car bombs) are killing contractors and soldiers left right and center. theyre shooting at the cars preventively, and as long as theyre shooting at the engine block, its somewhat accepted.

Dec 13, 2011 - if an aproaching car has no intentions of harming these PMC soldiers, and then they fire, is it a crime? or something? do they have legal permission to fire first?

Apr 15, 2011 - Will this become a wild west? I don't think so. The rebels are currently trading oil for cash; the next stage is them buying arms and upgrading their ranks with more sophisticated weaponry. Stage three might be that Nato lays down air cover while the rebels make an advance to Tripoli. Once Tripoli falls its game over for Gaddafi!
