let me get this straight.... its better to invade libya then run the risk of not having petrol to fight future rioters....what a load of babyfat!!!!!

You do realize how important oil is to our society and its not just for filling up our cars ?

If in doubt about a country murdering its own people blame oil!!

Somalia .Zimbabwe ,Sudan have slaughtered there own people for years have they got oil ? have we saved there civilians ?have we fu*k

There are plenty of countries we have been involved in, trust me

There are not many countries we have not looted & fu*ked up i agree with that but there is only a few we are open about & blame the mad dictator & then bomb the fu*k out of them .if we are serious about saving civilians from mad dictators lets invade. Korea .Iran .the western goverments just spout bollocks if they were bothered about inocent civilians why stand back & watch the slaughter in the break up of Yugoslavia

Veteran BBC foreign correspondent Kate Adie remembers her visits to Libya. "You heard whispers, you heard rumours. Years ago, the Italian ambassador told me he had complained of the screams they could hear overnight. He said that they found rubbish skips with limbs in them in the morning. That's the kind of place it was."

I think you'll find that the break-up of the former Yugoslavia was about the only NATO intervention that actually met most of it's objectives and saved lives and brought about some kind of peace between warring factions whose roots go far deeper than Gadaffi. If you feel so strongly about how our Foreign Policy is hurting the average Libyan I suggest you go and talk to some, mayhap you'll find that like the people of Coventry, London and Southampton who were bombed nightly by the Luftwaffe that sometimes the end justifies the means. Egypt is sorting itself out after years under the jack boot, Syria will follow and Iran will be the next one the Yanks will decide to sort out whether anyone wants them to or not.

The west stood back & troops from Holland stood aside as thousands of men & boys were seperated from the women & were murdered & put in mass graves in the former Yugoslavia<br /><br />-- Wed Aug 24, 2011 11:09 pm --<br /><br />

I think I've said this before to you, but having been to Iraq I can say with confidence that the Iraqi's who we have had dealings with all say that their country is a much better place to be in now than it was under Saddam's rule.

 

[Fame Monster]

Who are we really helping ?

The hundreds of thousands of living in Benghazi? The tens of millions who will likely get the chance to vote? People who care about other human beings?

Along with the rest of the 'oil' gang, you are out of your depth and causing offence when you discuss complex, sensitive issues with so little tact and so much simplicity.
