No one can really deny that Gadafi is fairly obviously off his trolly. "my people love me" he told the BBC on TV. I heard him say it. I also heard him raving on about how the people in the streets were not protesting against him and any that were did so because Al Kaida (sic) had paid them to riot and had even supplied people psychedelic drugs. Somehow i dont think this is true.
Having said this i also heard people in the streets saying that not only did they want to rid themselves of Gadafi and his regime but that they wanted to do this themselves and did not want the West to intervene. A brief look at the mess the west made in Iraq and are currently making in Afghanistan, this should not surprise us. Ghandi once said "its the right of India to misrule itself as it sees fit" and this applies to most other sovereign nations.
Another good reason for not getting involved is that we really dont have the militarly hardware or manpower to get involved in yet another ill advise expedition into oblivion and shame. We have more than enough of such conflicts over the last twenty years and for all these reasons we should keep our big noses out of it. If people need aid or protection then fine but it must be genuinely requested and not made up by stupid lying dickheads like Tony Blair or the Bush Baby. and especially we should avoid the gutter press and the warmongering scum that live there like the Dirty Digger and the Red Top press who will say anything at the behest of their puppet masters to foment widespread violence as an excuse for foolish intervention with inadeuate forces.
