Ehsan uncle I did say was that Britian is only in it for the Oil. I dont buy for one minute that Britian is doing it for the Libyan people. I wish it were so but then Britian would have spoken out on other issues… if Libya did not have the Oil and BP was not so involved in the region then I seriously dont think the British would be so involved.

I wish it were for those innocent people but I sersiouly dont think it is and knowing British foriegn policy it is certianly not. If they dont have an interest in it they never speak out… look at the Gaza case, or the massacres in Kenya and other parts of Africa… again if the British or others could get something out of it they send in troops but if the country is barren then nothing more than words is what we get.

What sort of oil was in Bosnia and Kosovo? All I am saying is that I would welcome the overthrow of a despot like gaddafi and save the lives of thousands of people there rather than harping on about oil. Humanity comes first.
