Nice one Lib Dems; last time I ever vote for you.

what story is this, JK?

NATO bombs a University Campus in Tripoli - well; it now sounds "near" a campus causing serious injuries and possible deaths amongst students.

hmmm, what good on earth will it do to kill students??? It's sheer madness.

Well I'm sure it was an accident David and I bet the Gaddafi lot are using it as propaganda, just like the rebels do but my point remains - why are we supporting one side against the other in a civil war: It's not our business and we should not be doing it.

Tap seven hundred and ten into your calculator, turn it upside down, and that will give you the answer to why we are interfering.

Indeed Dixie and now our dear Western leaders say they will not stop bombing Libya until Gaddafi goes - so forget that "protect innocent civilians" crap and own up - it's all about regime change (oil). Didn't they learn from Iraq?

And now they are openly admitting they want a regime change; it really does frighten me how barking mad our leaders are. OK - perhaps the Libyans should overthrow Gaddafi but he's not like Hitler (or even Saddam). And the fact that so many - 99% and even many on this board - simply accepted that ridiculous "humanitarian" reason for killing people. Astonishing.

oohhh your'e havin' a go at us

I'm all for revolution and the Lybian people doing what they want.

The West is to blame though..they sold Ghaddaffi his weapons as they sold all those horror weaapons to Saddam and every other brute.

Then they weigh in and more money is made from more weapons being used to destroy the ones they sold him.. it's win win.

I want small elite killer squads..that go in and bump off a vile dictator. That would be a disgrace of course and outrage. But drop bombs on civilians and students is just collaterial damage and unfortunate.

Stalin was right..a few deaths is a tragedy..a million is a statistic.

What I don't understand is why Russia and China have agreed to all of this.

Have they been promised a share of the oil or something?
