Yep, I know this sounds brutal but those "kids" would grow up to be despots themselves.


So children deserve to be killed because they MIGHT grow up to be something we might not like?

I wish I could curse on here, because you make me f*cking sick

Yes all the children and innocent civilians on both side should be spared from this war. It's horrible! I suppose this is now a Champaign, rather than a no fly zone. Looks like someone is flying.

Considering Gaddafi is dictator, he is "Command and Control".

Everyone else is just commanded and controlled.

This is one time I'm glad it wasnt the US that made the first move. I dont think our leaders are in danger but more likely civilians in a terrorist plot.


True and that disgusts me even more..

Our leaders commit atrocities and it's civilians that will suffer..

Personally I'd rather they target our leaders..

Actually, while corruption was always a problem, they used the new found Oil wealth to massively increase the living standards and urbanisation of the country, along with a massive increase in the level of education.. They also had a constitution guranteeing individual rights, freedom of speech and religion etc etc.

What did Gaddafi do as his first act after the coup? Got rid of all of that in one swoop.

Gaddafi and the RCC didn't stage the coup over a feeling of distributing the wealth better, they did it as a result of the Pan-Arab nationlaism prevalent at the time, led by Nasser. Hence why Gaddafi pursued several wars with his neighbours over territory, formed the Islamic Legion and invaded Chad and the Sudan, the latter leading to the formation of the Janjaweed militia in Darfur.

Unemployment is quite high in Libya under Gaddafi, so what's your point?

oh and the fact that King Idris wanted to install a american base in libya during 50s?


The US had the base there since the second world war, when it was originally capture by the British Army. So it took them 20+ years to get pissed off with it?

These rebels aren't rebels they are hired mercenaries and oversea terrorists just like how america used the terrorists in bosnia.


I think you'll find it is Gaddafi using the foreign troops, such as Tuareg and Maritainian troops, plus other sub-saharan nationalities. The people fighting in Misrata, Benghazi and other towns are the local people.

If you dont get it that this has been about the Resources, when will you get it? maybe until wikileaks it for you? go further research libya on your own, like i have.


HAHAHAHA

You have obviously researched nothing, or if you have, then it is from some definately dodgy sources.

That isnt funny. I understand we look like war mongers. Our service men will continue to fight for Freedom. I simply dont like some of the Political BS associated with such wars. We are a mean fighting machine though. We are also the worlds leader in humanitarian aid. I see you point being from Belfast. I prefer peace but doubt it will ever happen.
