  Barry, what you suggest about British military intervention in Libya and arming rebels there is in no way justifiable. 'Committing atorcities against civilians' seems to be the magical key-phrase nowadays to try to justify any intervention all over the world.
  
  Britain recognised the Libyan government and had relations with Libya by way of its governmental authorities, so to arm the rebels would be a blatant act of hypocrisy and a breach of international law, and could be a precedent to intervene anywhere in the world and to send arms to anyone in the name of just about anything!
  
  You have not even any idea who the oposition are in Libya, and there are no past atrocities of the Libyan government against Libians for any oposition to shout about in the first place.
  
  If any oposition in Libya wants some other form of government, then they should state their views peacefully and NOT bank on Britain getting involved with soldiers or arms supplies.
  
  The British Nation has no constitutional obligation to get involved in Libya's armed controversy. I think we should start looking at the Constitution before anyone starts beating war-drums in Britain and expecting Britain to get militarily involved in other countries problems.
  
  As you yesterday openly insisted on the Forum that I know nothing about economy, I permit myself to openly invite you to read the British Constitution, as you seem to make up the rules as you go along, Barry!
