Lmfao at Sanders.

And probably not considering the way the two reached power is different and the political set up of both countries are different. And considering that Cameron realizes he can't stay in power for too long and he comes from a wealthy family so doesn't need
the money.

lol a ruler is not rightful anymore if his own people rebel against him

And your use of "rightful" is very loose here. Libya is not a monarchy. There's no such thing as a rightful ruler.

No man all of them can go to hell for all I care. Each is a conniving, greedy and manipulative bastard who is only concerned for his/her own welfare.

I only specifically mention Gaddafi as he just died. But I know that pretty much every politician out there is responsible for murder, crime and corruption.

Whilst i agree that he deserved to die, i dont think that that was the right way to do it. He deserved alot worse, if i'dve been killed like that after committing alll the atrocities he did i'd be pretty chuffed to be honest.

He deserved a trial, and an execution, like Saddam Hussein

There wasn't really the need to intervene in Tunisia, Egypt or Oman, as they reformed themselves through people power, and Yemen and Syria would only be destabilised by a Western presence, especially Syria due to it's considerably better equipped, Russian-backed military and very well entrenched regime. Bahrain, whilst terrible, was also strategically unsound for an intervention as it would have set off a whole mess of arguments with the Saudis and the UAE. The protests in other nations never amounted to enough to justify Western intervention.

We have to be selective and do what we can, where we can.

I don't think Egypt has "reformed itself"-the same elite are in power, but now in keeping a low profile while making Mubarak into a scapegoat for the common people to hate.
Food prices are still too high and unemployment is worse. The tourist trade has declined and the economy is is a an even worse state than it was when Mubarak was in power. There are still no elections or any "democracy", not that it will do most people any good anyway. So where is the reform in Egypt?
Yes, we have to be selective because if we pick on someone big and powerful we willget our asses kicked, and we only pick fights when we can gain from it, for example from Libyan oil.

**** off. This wasn't won by "the people" It was won thanks to massive "intervention" from Nato.

Yeah, and them too. how could i forget, True if it wasnt for NATO none of this would be possible. But it was the country peoples original plan to rebel against gaddafi.

We aren't. The Libyan people are telling their leaders how it should be run. We helped them achieve that goal, nothing more.

and ignored the wishes of the rest of the population, yeah that seems fair. Bit of selective hearing/reading/seeing on the western side of it, but whats new there, especially when there is huge economic gains involved. Your an idiot if your think the west did this to help the Libyan people...

I've always been anti-Gaddafi but justice was not served today with the way he was killed. He should have been trialled in court and sentenced to presumably the death penalty.

Apparently he was beaten down to a bloody pulp and then dragged across the street until being finally shot to death. That's complete savagery, and I know it's no better than the treatment he gave to many victims but the people should not have come to his level and do something like that. Quite sad how it all went down and slightly disturbing but then again I didn't suffer like many of the Libyan people so it's easy to have my view on the matter.
