When I talk to friends and family back home about the invasion of Libya they don't seem very interested, don't even have an opinion. Seems strange with all the cuts and how out of pocket people are I would have thought that spending billions on invading a foreign country would cause a bit of anger
a vision off freedom ... is wot they will only get... we once bank rolled a young freedom fighter in afghanistan against the russians.. osama bin laden.. look how that turned out... i just wonder wen the first boat loads of libyans arrive here...Originally Posted by Walaytawo

Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

I thought with all the different sections on the site there was more here than discussions about relationships, visas and recipes. Please feel free to delete this thread mods if I've strayed from the subjects the site was intended for.
actually that is a good point and you did post in the news section so apologies if I somewhat made light of a serious topic... and a belated welcome to the site.

Governments arrogance in believing how gullible people are is laughable. Did we learn nothing from Iraq and Afghanistan? Does anybody actually believe this is a humanitarium effort, because we care so much about the oppressed people of Libya.
Without oil our western economies are screwed, and with our own reserves running out there's no other way to fix that problem than plunder it from other countries.
Straight from the horses mouth:
A good read if anybody's interested: Blood and Oil: The Dangers and Consequences of America's Growing Dependency on Imported Petroleum (The American Empire Project)
We done the same thing in Bosnia or have you forgotten that? No oil there, and Libya only supplies 2% of the worlds oil, and at the moment 0% and we are not short of supplies. No oil in Afghanistan either so that arguments a dud.
It is humanitarian as we prevented genocide, and is something the UN needs to do more often. You'll find British people aren't dumb to things like this, however the Yanks are extremely dumbed down and insular.

What makes Libya more of an urgent humanitarian crisis than say Zimbabwe, Sudan, Ivory Coast etc
Bosnia, who knows, the military is an economy within itself. When you've got a massive budget to keep building weapons only makes sense to use them.
Afganastan was and is about the oil pipeline wouldnt want radical islamists anywhere near that

How much is one nuke? How wide is Libya? SortedI am reminded of their 1964 "hit":-
"Just one *look" - read *nuke &c ...
... "That's all it took~uh ye~ah
Just one nuke ... and Ga~daffi's gone ... on on~
Aa~way~ay~ay~
Fo~or e~ver ... and a day~ay~ay
~Oh~oh~oh~oh
well i use to work with 2 libyan brothers, they had a english mother and british passports, the didn't consider themselves to be British at all, infact they use toat british soldiers getting killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. i wonder if their cheering the Brits now
For the benefit of most of a generation ... as of then unborn ... the 'Hollies' were a Manchester-based group with its genesis in the early 1960s.
possibly 60 billion barrels of oil in the falklands and more than 1 trillion dollars worth of minerals in afghan... thats a few quids worth fighting for ... hows that song go ... all i need is the oil that you breathe....
Ah ... another variation on a 'Hollies' theme.... hows that song go ... all i need is the oil that you breathe....
That's the kind of hatred we fuel with our foreign policieswell i use to work with 2 libyan brothers, they had a english mother and british passports, the didn't consider themselves to be British at all, infact they use to
they hated the brits becuase they killed their 'muslim brothers'That's the kind of hatred we fuel with our foreign policies
thou them same 'muslim brothers' killed an estimated 1m of each other in the iran/iraq war
I can understand why Arthur and Branno made the connection between the Hollies and Gaddafi ... both have berries / berets
We are doing the same thing in the Ivory Coast if you pay attention to the news.What makes Libya more of an urgent humanitarian crisis than say Zimbabwe, Sudan, Ivory Coast etc
