Libya

My first thought upon hearing that a no fly zone was being proposed was that given the nature of the cuts being effected on the Royal Air Force, the only ones unlikely to be doing any flying would be us.

I'm foursquare with Martin Meenagh on this one. Stopping Gaddafi's planes flying, fine. Killing civilians on the ground, count me out. Killing Libyans is what Gaddafi does. Killing civilians from the air, as in, you know, Lockerbie, is what Gaddafi does. He is death. By doing what he does, we become death as well.
