David Cameron has sent his troops to Libya. After an agreement with the UN, UK as well as other countries like France and United States will "try to defeat and get rid of Colonel Gaddafi".
Doesn't that remind you of someone? *Coughs* Tony Blair and Iraq *coughs* Sorry, my throat needs clearing. Seriously though, David Cameron has made a big mistake and as soon as the British troops have only just gone out of Iraq.
The cuts which Cameron made seems to make up for this "war". This is no "War on Terror" which Tony Blair and George Bush created but Cameron's intentions is to get Gaddafi's leadership/dictatorship to end. Will it happen? If they manage to kill him like what Blair did to Saddam Hussein then maybe. Gaddafi won't resign that easily.
Let's look at the "positives". It is legal, unlike the Iraq war. Other countries have agreed to "fight for democracy" and all that tosh but they aren't doing unlawfully.
Ok, now for the negatives. First of all - the costs. It's going to cost a bomb (ironically speaking). So the University, the Health Service and everything else which was cut - that money will kill more innocent people. Well, they didn't go to Iraq and not kill anyone to find Saddam Hussein in the first place, did they? Remember the innocent people are also the people who support Gaddafi.
I hope the UN regrets their decision. Instead of their money they have spare for those suffering in Japan after the horrific 8.9 magnatude earthquake and tsunami, they go to Libya - not to get the British public out of the troubled nation because Cameron agreed to a "no-fly zone" but to spend the money on troops invading a country which doesn't deserve it, well done. There is no indication how much money will they intend to spend but I fear for the Libyans right now.
Let's try and be optimistic and hope the invasion won't take as long as the Iraq War and Gaddafi is more of a tougher opponent than Saddam Hussein because he's more popular. Hussein wasn't popular at all (remember the falling of the statues of him?).
