I find the British press are unduly fixated on the Middle East and North Africa. None in this list of recent armed civil conflicts, save for maybe Palestine, has received a fraction of the amount of coverage Libya is getting right now and I for one think the UK military would be wasting its time intervening. Let the Arab League deal with Libya, they sound anxious to depose Gaddafi. Can't they be trusted to deal with it themselves?
