"Better the evil you know than the one you don't" has seen us excuse many a travesty. Good that they are worm food but make no mistake what fills the void will be watched like a hawk, or an eagle.

North Korea will never be dealt with because there are no resources there. We don't care about human rights nor political freedoms.
Miles - you are off your fucking tits mate!
Who gives a shit if people like gadaffi, hussein and binladen take a bullet. For me its too quick...just a shame they were not left to a pack of people wanting revenge for all the hurt they have caused.
Me personally - i would have loved to keep them alive for 3 days, pins in the eyes, thumbscrews, hammers on the toes - giving them blood transfusions to keep the heart pumping and shots of adrenaline to keep them alive and feeling the pain.
Then again - where things like this are concerned i have a bit of a mean streak
Just please spare me the human rights utter horeshit - it bores the fuck out of me. Murdered in cold blood..pah...I would say in the case of binladen and co and eye for an eye could never be more deserving. If i could i would curl one down on their graves!

On another note, apparently Gaddhaffi was sodomized with an AK47 before he was killed.....so I would assume that he would have rather been caught by the US or maybe taken out by Seals.
Miles, you do LOVE to bellyache about "war crimes"...what DON'T you consider a war crime![]()

Quite a general question, Lyle. I refuse to offer the argument of 'we are the superpower therefore we do what we want' as a suitable defense though.
Why is it so hard for you to ever accept criticism of your nation's absolutely horrific foreign policy strategies? Military and economic pillage since WW2 and unless you bend down and take it up the bum, they will get you, but preferably if you are poor and can't really fight back.
People don't dislike America because they are jealous of any freedoms, they dislike America because it is a noisy and violent bully with no respect for anyone else.
You say no to America and they will bomb you into the 3rd world. They invade sovereign nations and have the gaul to state that Gaddafi's death is a warning to all dictators. So what about the dictators that the US government actively supports? What happened to the protests in Bahrain for instance?
The US elite offers nothing but empty false gestures and actively supports repression as we have seen with the continued support of Israel and the support of dictators worldwide.
And America is a democracy? Sure, it is. You can vote once every five years for two parties and both represent largely the same evil. In many respects Obama himself is a dictator. We just use more subtle methods in the west and actively torture those at places like Guantanamo or 'secret' locations scattered around the world.
No contradictions whatsoever.![]()

If you are to apply the brutal finish then it should apply equally to both sides. Bush, Obama, Blair et al are guilty of significantly more human rights abuses than the likes of Saddam, Bin Laden or Gaddafi.
We seem to turn our heads at the abuses committed by our leaders. Total double standards.
We elect these people into parliament and power. Not sure how you can say Blair and co are guilty of more human rights abuses than those 3. Blair has never ordered the killing of thousands of innocent civilians, neither has Bush despite what a twat he is. What atrocities have Blair and co committed?

How about the wars we have been in for the last 10 years or so?
Cluster bombing towns, massive civillian casualties. That's just the things we know about.
I can promise you that there have been many other orders to kill people that we have no idea of.
That said, the dictators mentioned were evil orrible men and deserved everything they got.
I take your point on the civilian casulaties during war to a degree BUT to even put these into the same area of conversation as the 911 attacks or Lockerbie does not wash with me. Your next points about killing we know nothing about veer into the realms of conspiracy theories. I refuse to believe that Bush or Blair are inherently evil men unlike those 3 mentioned...as you say they were bad motherfuckers who deserved everything they got. Nasty cunts who have never done an ounce of good for anyone.

They are war criminals who are responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of civilians. Now we could never accuse Bin Laden of the crime of full blown invasion of a sovereign state and the consequent slaughter of countless individuals. And let's not forget the use of torture and methods such as rendition.
On those scales Bush and Blair dwarf anything someone like Gaddafi has ever done. And let's not fool ourselves regarding elections. The British public was firmly against the war in Iraq. Now where was democracy then? Democracy is a sham, a vote once every 5 years and then being ignored is not democracy.
