  I was not aware that we need the Harriers, we are not at war.
  Britain's defence capabilities are not too weak, and the military chiefs of the Army and Navy stated last year that the Government should cut spending on the RAF, and the Government acted upon this advice.
  
  To get involved in Libya militarily, other than to rescue British civilians which is something totally differnt and doesn't imply shooting at anyone unless attacked - hopefully those operations are concluded by now - would be total madness, and could have repercussions all over the Arab world.
  
  It could lead to massive anti-western sentiments in neighbouring countries with unimaginable consequences. Incidentally, that situation would lead to an economic crisis with oil prices going up and possibly oil supplies being cut off!
  
  And what then?
