Is it too late? What action will now belatedly be taken? One must assume that end game is now the overthrow of Gaddafi but can this be achieved without a protracted ground war? A whole new can of worms has just opened up.

Libya and Western hypocracy
When all the handwringing and self righteous rhetoric by western powers over recent events in Libya is quelled by Gaddafi's crushing of the pro-democratic movement in his country, which powers will throw off the yoke of principle and continue trading with this tyrant?
We shall be watching.
Postscript:
As a result of miltary action taken by a number of countries in accordance with a UN resolution authorising a "no fly zone" amongst other things, it now looks as though Gaddafi will go one way or another. His position is now untenable. No one could now deal with Gaddafi were he somehow to remain in power. That would be beyond ridiculous and the mother of all hypocracies!

Smiling in adversity
If you are interested in helping give these kids an education, please contact me. These kids are amongst 13 being looked after by an 80 year old grandmother. They have nothing and have all lost their parents. We are trying as a family to contribute towards their education but we are unable to help them all.
An education is their way out of poverty and the World should be doing much more to fund education in the poorer countries as a means of tackling long term poverty and dependency. We need to get our priorities right and spend less on war and more on peace. Thank you for reading this.

Beware you politicians! You are about to learn that you cannot impose your will on the people forever without their consent. We are millions. You are but a few thousand and a few thousand too many at that!November 2009
