The UN Security Council passed a resolution authorising a no fly zone over Libya. This was authored by the French and the British who, no doubt, see it as a foreign policy triumph. Sarkozy of France is a small man with pretensions of being a Nepoleon. He should realise that Nepoleon led from the front and did not hide behind his wife while his pilots killed hapless Libyans from the air. As for David Cameron of Britain he would dearly love to suck up to Obama as Tony Blair did with Bush. How he would love to have photos showing him standing shoulder to shoulder with Obama in the Rose garden of the White House or walking in casual wear outside Camp David. He failed to win outright majority in the last general elections and is Prime Minister because Nick Clegg of the Lib Dems saw this as his only chance to ever hold a ministerial post. Cameron promised no " frontline reductions " in essential services and an " end to top-down reorganisation of the NHS ", promises he has not kept. Indeed he has broken every promise including VAT, child benefit, education maintenance allowance, increasing NHS spending " in real terms every year ", incapacity benefit and many more ( Guardian Weekly, March 4 ). His vicious cuts in public spending, prompted by some weird right wing ideology, has already resulted in job losses and will most probably tip the economy into a second recession. He knows people will feel real pain very soon and he will quickly become a hate figure in Britain and desperately needs some photo ops to appear statesman like. Sadly killing a few Libyans will not achieve that. He may end up a war criminal like Tony Blair.
