Gaddafi is accused of ordering terrorist attacks against the West. As I mentioned some 1000 posts ago, the witness at the trial was very flimsy and left a big reasonable doubt about the accused. Then nobody can prove that Gaddafi ordered the bombing. It is surmised by the west, but never proven.

In contrast, our warplanes have killed two of Gaddafi's sons and three of his grandchildren, all aged under 2. The questions is, if somebody killed your family, would you hold feeling of friendship towards them?

As for Bush, does the Iraq War count? I can ask, who has attacked who? How many Lybian war planes have bombed the Us or the UK? It is like Iraq, how many times did Iraq attack the US directly? Or Vietnam, how many times did the Vietnamese attack the US or France?

Is it just me or are the bombings all going one way? It is the way of empires. Empires attack, then they blame the "barbarians" at the other side. It worked great for the Romans, and it still works great today. Our modern Capitalist Empire (The Nato axis) are the Mongols of the modern era.

Übergeek 바둑이: And of the supplies to the IRA that Gaddafi made in response to an attack by the USA in the 80's on Tripoli... One word that comes from the times that Gaddafi supplied the IRA.. SEMTEX.

....The Lockerbie bombing was just one instance, while the SEMTEX was used in at least 250 booby trap bombings.

"In contrast, our warplanes have killed two of Gaddafi's sons and three of his grandchildren, all aged under 2."

And of the many kids killed or hurt by the weapons he provided to the IRA... which the Libyans and old IRA members have confirmed (as did the capture of one shipment) he did authorise the supply of weapons including... AK47's.. surface to air missiles and SEMTEX.

.. 120 tonnes of weapons .. 5 tonnes captured.

Artful Dodger: Like those who missed Obama being elected as it was not news worthy? Maybe some read this newpaper and still thought Bush was El President.
