Thank you Government (that ghastly spoon faced Cameron) - using our tax monies to murder small children.

The Libyan situation is quite simple; some Libyans love Gaddafi, some hate him.
So why are we involved?
Oil.

No, we are not.
Gaddafi is killing anyone who opposes him (like Assad).

If we stand aside we become Hitler.

Simples !

So says a girl who thinks long distance travel involves a day trip to Blackpool

I agree with both sides but it's the method that is a travesty.

The West-as it's decided it is the world's policeman- could take out any dictator by offering a ten million pound reward. Their own generals would be queuing to do the deed.

So much better though to first sell dictators or repressive regimes billions of pounds in weapons and then spend more taking them out.

Even the arch conservative US politician Pat Robertson called the Iraq war the 'greatest handover of public monies to private hands ' ever seen.

and now look what has happened...100 billion US dollars have gone missing in Iraq.

Far better to talk about the dole 'scroungers' back home and blame them for the countries ills.

Are you saying those ungrateful brats don't appreciate our freedom?

In all seriousness, Gadaffi may be bad but so are we. Every country is basically a dictatorship. What say does the average person in any country have in their government or in the laws they are forced to abide by?

Oh, we get to vote? Fuck that shit. We're voting for a bunch of morons. The sooner we realize our government sucks, the better.

Very analytical ted,hit the nail on the head.When we're perfect ourselves we can go dictate to others...perhaps Doris thinks we didn't kill enough in Afghan & Iraq? Wonder if her father left her a few shares in the armaments industry?
