Mild political rant

Mr William Hague quite nicely pointed out this morning on the news that the point of the airstrikes we are participating in are not to remove Gadaffi... Well that's fantastic, lets destroy the country, take away their airforce, (which Libya has a right to own,) and leave the country defenceless. But then once we've done that decide the whole point of weakening them is to strengthen a bond and to allow Libya to decide its future for itself.... urm... ok. MAYBE before this we should of cleared it up a little for the Libyans who think Gadaffi is a saint, show the images and videos of his supporters shooting at ambulances and hanging the green and white colours over the buildings covered in bullet holes. We are creating a war by attacking without communicating properly to the people of the country we are attacking!! Am I an idiot for thinking this? Am i being naive? Because it seems to me we run our state of affairs without much thought to the actual effect they have! And thats not just with Libya. I never paid much attention to how the country was ran, I trusted people to do their jobs... especially when in their campaigns they seem so keen to do them. Anyway, I'll put some paintings up in a minute in a new post. x
