The times of "history will absolve me" are over.
The International Criminal Court is already investigating the "possible" atrocities taking place in Libya where the former strongman of the Arab country continues to "deny" that his people fight against his regime.
The prosecutor of the international court just declared that the court not only will investigate El Gaddafi, but all those around him and also the rebels. No one is beyond suspicion.
Meanwhile, our hopes that the Libyan people engaged in a serious and bloody internal conflict of major proportions, do not spend all their patriotism, ammunition and supplies before arriving at a national consensus about the future of Libya.
The intervention of a foreign force is not the best way to resolve this conflict and the European Union and the United States have acted well to stay out of it until now. The entire world supports the cause of freedom and democracy of the rebels. Only three leaders support El Gaddafi: Fidel Castro of Cuba, Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua and Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.
The lessons for Cuba, and to a certain extend for Venezuela and Nicaragua also, in the coming months are clear. All will be investigated and some will be judged. The times of "history will judge me and absove me" are over. We are now in one world in which actions are judged by something concrete, with the appropriate institutions and methods.
