Cant do right for doing wrong, but it annoys me when it becomes "the west to blame" get a new drum to beat is what I say.
I really dont think we intervened out of a genuine desire to ease the Libyan's suffering; we've been cosying up to Gaddafi the last few years and besides, even if that was the reason we got involved then why wouldn't we do the same in, say, Syria where they are also oppressed and being slaughtered in their thousands?

Nah we're just in it for our own interests as ever
