hmmm if we were less in debt... would we be more sympathetic to tghe involvement of the UK in the libyan fiasco.... which originally seemed like it was gonna be a one off payment....   

was the original UN mandate ill thought out or perhaps well thought out but we didn't have the brains to know what it meant (or weren't told)... should we have left it to the big boys... who are they these days?

or just accept that it is part of us being in the international community

shoudl we just have gone ahead with what cameron wanted which was the murder or removal of Gaddaffi leaving a completely uncertain future to libya but sporting a trophy cabinet


the story so far according to the beeb: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12480844
GOD BLESS!

The initial mandate used a very unusual choice of words, which leaves a lot of room for interpretation. This may well have been deliberate - as it gave the option of switching sides if it looked like Gadaffi was going to regain popularity and power, but makes for a lot of uncertainty in how far we could go to start with.
The US having now backed the rebels as the 'legitimate source of power' in Libya releases a lot of Libyan govt cash for their use, making it possible for them to buy the sort of armaments they are lacking - probably from the US. Vested interest? What does that mean? ...
