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

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.

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.

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

France and Britain failed to persuade other world powers meeting in Paris to impose a no-fly zone over the country

...

Alain Juppé, the French foreign minister said: "If we had used military force last week to neutralise some airstrips and the several dozen planes that they have, perhaps the reversal taking place to the detriment of the opposition wouldn't have happened. But that's the past. Gaddafi is scoring points. We have perhaps missed a chance to restore the balance."

...

"They are bombing everywhere. They are killing people, civilians, whatever," said Sherif Layas, 34, who was a marketing manager before he took up arms and joined Libya's revolution.
He added that Gaddafi's forces were about to reach the point where the rebels would be unable to resist without outside help. "This is the death line, right here," he said.

...

Insurgents have been desperately calling for a no-fly zone, and the Arab League came out in support over the weekend.

...

David Cameron said the Gaddafi regime had already committed "multiple breaches" of an existing UN resolution.



So the Libyans and the Arab League have been asking for help, British and French governments want to give it ... but they're not allowed, because Germany, Russia and China are making making deals with Garfield to get cheap oil in return for vetoing any attempts to protect the Libyan citizens?
