'Libya war repeats Iraq attack scenario' http://www.rebelnews.org/politics/middle-east/748896-libya-war-repeats-iraq-attack-scenario

Iran's parliament speaker slams the West's offensive on Libya, saying the US involvement in the Libya war under President Obama resembles the Bush-era invasion of Iraq. “It so appears that the Libya scenario is similar o the scenario of confronting with [executed dictator] Saddam [Hussein] in Iraq,” Mehr quoted Ali Larijani as saying on Thursday. “Because in Iraq they devastated the infrastructure in the first place, imposed sanctions for as while and then launched an invasion with the infantry,” Larijani argued. The head of Iran's legislative body denounced the West and the international community's dual policy regarding the violent crackdowns on popular uprisings in the Arab world.  He criticized the United Nations for ordering foreign military intervention in Libya under the pretext of targeting government forces given the world body's silence on the joint brutal repression of protests in Bahrain.
