Civilian deaths in Libya: who’s killing who?

In Libya, where NATO-backed NTC forces are attempting to wipe out the last remaining pro-Gaddafi strongholds, civilians are still being killed but normally-vocal countries backing a UN resolution to protect them have gone strangely quiet.

Cameron, Sarkozy milk premature Tripoli triumph

The French president and British PM have visited Tripoli to declare victory over Muammar Gaddafi’s regime and reap the benefits of his fall, but it appears the celebrations are somewhat premature.

UN to take charge of law and order in Libya

A failure to properly implement UN resolution 1973 aimed at protecting civilians in Libya crystallized into a full-scale civil war and foreign invasion, argues Russia’s UN ambassador, Vitaly Churkin. He says only the UN can break the stalemate.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron took the UN floor soon after President Ahmadinejad. The British leader urged the UN to take action against rogue states and praised NATO involvement in the Arab revolutions.

­"You can sign every human rights declaration in the world, but if you stand by and watch people being slaughtered in their own country when you could act, then what are those signatures really worth?” AP quoted him as saying. “The United Nations has to show that we can be not just united in condemnation, but united in action."

But Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn says the West should let countries determine their own future.

“David Cameron supported the intervention in Libya, has said nothing much about anything in Saudi Arabia, has been remarkably quiet on what’s happening in Bahrain, and as of late, has started to chat away a great deal about Syria. And of course, he’s very unclear as to what the British position will be on the Palestinian vote tomorrow,” he said, reflecting on Cameron’s speech.

“I think he sees NATO as the centerpiece of Western diplomacy,” Corbyn told RT. “And I think we are going to see a repeat of the Libya exercise, in which Britain and France called for a UN no-fly zone, which was then interpreted in a very liberal way and ended up with a massive bombing campaign.”

“Cameron might call it something different, but in reality it’s not a lot different to ‘Tony Blair and humanitarian intervention’. And I think the West is going to pay a terrible price for this constant interference. People must decide their own future in their own countries, in their own way, not by Western bombs,” Jeremy Corbyn concluded.

I would watch out for a man like this who freely insults the Scots, members of his own country union, then goes out and plays world policeman in foreign affairs.  I am not convinced myself that a liberal shot of multiculturalism in Western countries has made their leaders any more capable of determining socially and historically the correct course of action in countries culturally outside their sphere of influence.  With national economies all over the world teetering on the brink of depression, surely is it not a time to be looking to affairs at home and trying to restore the internal stability, rather than spending more money on foreign wars that drag on due to cultural complications and misunderstandings?
