I don't think Libyan's "Rebels" (I fucking hate that word, they went from 'Protesters' to 'Rebels' at the point they started getting slaughtered) want foreigners coming in and actually intervening. I don't think they'd mind being helped but they don't want an Iraq situation.

Trying to read Twitter is like trying to read YouTube comments, except with a really incredibly shit UI and arbitrarily limited messages interspersed with gunk, where 90% of messages is people re-fucking-tweeting all the damned time, because the stupid service doesn't let them just say "why not read this" in a sensible fashion. And don't even get me started on the complete and utter farce of threading the steaming turd pile uses. :@


(I don't like Twitter.)

Because the Russkies & Chines won't play along with the West being suddenly seized with utterly phony outrage?

 

Let's see what happens now in Saudi Arabia...

I do know what you mean, it's nothing like Youtube comments though, they're just 90% trolling. It's democracy. Democracy's messy.

I'm pretty sure all the people dying just want the bastard gone. It's probably mostly the "rebel" government that don't want foreigners coming along?

Anyway, seems like the perfect opportunity for the relevant countries to say "yeah, we fucked up Iraq, but look, we're going to go in, get the ugly guy, then go back to our boats and do some fishing, whilst the good guys get themselves sorted out, and we're just over here if they need more help."

Instead, the dumb UK government try to sneak in half a dozen Grant Mitchells. Idiots. :/

Aye, it's fucked up. Don't think there's really an easy answer. Going in, capping Qaddafi, Qadhdhaafiy, Khaddafi, Q'udafi whatever his bloody name is won't just solve everything I imagine. But he, his family and his cohorts are evil bastards and should get fucked.

or maybe the dumb UK government could just fuck off and let Libya sort it out for themselves

we simply CANNOT go about the world deciding which leaders we like and which are a bit of a PITA (today)

why? cos we (the west) ALWAYS fuck it up

Chrome called him Garfield so I went with that. :)

I don't like the idea of standing around letting people die. :/


It's not a question of deciding leaders - seems pretty clear that decision has already been made.

If a dog goes crazy and attacks its family, it gets put down.

If a ruler goes crazy and attacks their own people, they should also be dealt with.

I thought Russia was all nice and cuddly these days?

(Or is that just the pretty girls the internet people keep promising to send me?)

The thing I hate about twitter is that I have to click every fucking time to switch to the new version of twitter. Cunts.

Because that would be illegal.

but, there are many 'ruler's all over the world who I would suggest are a bit crazy and should be removed from power (mugabe?) are you suggesting /we/ should remove them all?

You clearly have a wrong setting somewhere. I always get new Twitter when I login, with the option to go to old Twitter. I would quite like that banner to fuck off though.

Your a wrong setting :C

that's always been true, the only reason we were so sure Saddam had weapons of mass destruction is cos we had the reciepts

What you said up there was practically a word for word quote of Hicks' War on Iraq bit.
