i am not disagreeing beucase of budget cuts in the UK. The UK has fuckloads of money (just mostly owned by wankers).

The problems in the UK are not affected by what we do in other countries... we can solve our problems AND look after our friends in other countries.

I feel we should help the Libyans, for sure, but I want to help them in the best way that is possible. We cannot be sure that fighting Gadaffi is best for the future of Libya.

I agree with you 100% that there is no wrong or right here... it's a hard situation. I support the intervention 100% if the situation in Libya is as bad as Western media say it is... AND we have a long term stategy to help the Libyans in the future.

if the situation is like it looks like there will be no more people to help if we sit back and watch..

what needs to happen in a country next to us that legitimates an intervention??

I agree roland, and you are right to say about it being different if it is a country next to you.

My fear is that we do not know exactly what the situation is like. If the media are telling the true story and we know all the facts, then I think careful miltary action is the first step the West shoud take.

In 2007 the war in Iraq was costing the UK 1 billion a year. That' our taxpayers money paying for that. If we didn't have to pay for it we could put into other areas like the NHS.

we fought that alone with USA. a justified war we would have the support of other nations. Also we didn't need to stay in Iraq as long as we did...

last year Vodafone were let off 6billion in tax. They are not the only company or super rich individuals to avoid paying tax. People excuse this becuase big business is "good for the economy".
