Britian getting in bed with Muammar Gaddafi is haunting them

In the last few days it has been Gaddafi who has looked liked the extremist, sending troops, and reportedly mercenaries, to crush demonstrations against his rule in the towns of Benghazi and Al Bayda. Human Rights Watch says this has led to the deaths of at least 85 of his people.

But it has not only been a dubious partnership against terror that has increasingly embroiled the United Kingdom in Libya's affairs. There has been a second "common cause" that has underpinned the relationship with Gaddafi's regime, underscored by the announcement on the same day in 2004 of a £550m deal with Shell for exploration rights.

Now Britain's risky and controversial relationship with Libya is beginning rapidly to unravel.

Unfortunately, Britian isn't haunted by this at all. (Nor is is Britain.)
Much like your own country, the majority of the people here aren't even aware that their government is comprised of murderous cunts, let alone care.

Meanwhile Britain cancels arms export licenses to Bahrain and Libya effectively banning the sale of arms from Britain to these two countries.
