Libya has now become the longest assassination attempt in history...

The debate and vote in the House of Commons in March was very much couched in terms of humanitarian aid. But the citizens of Benghazi were saved months ago. Developments since – including NATO’s targeting of Gaddafi’s winnebago and family homes – prove regime change is the key driver. And the arming of the rebels clearly shows NATO is now operating outside the remit of UN Resolution 1973. The civilians of Libya are suffering as a result. The time has now come for peace talks.

This has now become the longest assassination attempt in history. In indicating time and cost lines, the Government initially talked of weeks and tens of millions of pounds. This campaign has now lasted months and cost hundreds of millions of pounds.

But there comes a point when the bombing of sand becomes counterproductive. Months into this campaign and many of the civilians of Libya are still without the basic necessities – in some areas they have no water, electricity or telecommunications. Hospitals can only provide the most basic of facilities, and people are dying as a result. There appears to be little law and order, with bloody reprisals taking place on both sides. No wonder neighbouring countries are concerned by the tide of refugees. Full story...
