At least now we know our new shiny RAF Typhoons work ![]() Found a great way to save the army some cash. Scrap all armored vehicles and buy a job lot of second hand Japanese Pick up trucks, then weld a variety of weapons on the back, including old ground attack rocket pods...

In years to come, I wonder whether historians will describe Iraq, Libya etc as "the West's oil wars"?
In many respects, Cameron is Blair-lite. We now know we were lied to over Iraq and I suspect we're being told untruths about Libya.

It's nothing new really, its just the way things work. I guess it happens all over the world and not just in government. All I can say is that I hope its all coming to an end now so that people can start rebuilding their lives and dealing with the loss of their loved ones. I detest war, and hate what it does to people, and I am not only talking about those involved in the fighting, but the innocent bystanders as well.

A speck of comfort I've got from the Libya "adventure" is that it now seems likely the UK government will have to look harder at the evils it's permitted and colluded with during the "war on terror".
It's good for those in power to remember that the torture victim may be able to hold you to account if he / she gets into power before you die. I used to feel we had halfway decent governments (OK maybe a bit bumbling and unsuccessful but basically on the right ethical side of the line) and now I don't. I'm horrified that (allegedly in my name - and yours) our "democratic" governments have made us recently international aggressors and co-conspirators in torture, rendition and breaches of international law. I would love to see Blair, Straw, individuals in MI5 / MI6 et al in the dock for what they've done ... but sadly, I don't think it'll happen. I know other governments do worse - but that is no comfort to me when I fear my government intends to follow their example. Rant over .... |
