How many times can you lie before you are stuck in your own excretions? Britain and the US lied about WMDs in Iraq. Recently Britain and France obtained Security Council support for a " no fly zone " over Libya to protect civilians. This was a monumental lie. A no-fly-zone means preventing the Libyan air force planes from attacking civilians thus protecting them from harm. It does not mean supporting armed gangs by killing Gaddafi's soldiers on the ground and certainly does not authorise attempts to assassinate Gaddafi as NATO planes have been doing. Then there are laughable lies spread by propaganda news channels. The most recent one says that Gaddafi has managed to obtain tons of Viagra like drugs which he is distributing to his troops to encourage them to rape women. Gaddafi is having to live in a bunker to avoid murderous bombing, his money has been looted by western countries under the excuse of sanctions and Libya is incapable of indigenous production. Surely if he is able to buy tons of Viagra from abroad he would have bought food, groceries and oil for his people. The result of repeated lies means that Britain and France can find no support for a resolution condemning Syria for killing civilian protesters. The Syrian army is ruthlessly shooting live ammunitions at peaceful, unarmed protesters under orders from President Assad who is determined to maintain his power at all costs just like his father did before him. In this he is being advised and helped by Iran, which employed similar tactics against protests, after last year's elections. With its economy slowly collapsing Britain may find a no-fly-zone over itself soon. Justice.
