Stalemate in Lybia

By Peter Beaumont and Chris McGreal, The Guardian.

It is not the first time western powers are willingly conned into going to war. Remember Curveball? This time, it is the entire revolutionary council of the Lybian revolution + Sarkozy and his consiglieri pseudo philosopher BHL + a would be Thatcherite hoping an impact of the Lybian intervention on his political career similar to what the Falkland war did to Thatcher's, who are dragging us into a dirty war between a dictator and his exes.

David Cameron: Gaza is a prison camp

UK's PM David Cameron drew the ire of Israel and its friends today as he labeled Gaza as a 'prison camp'. Most Israeli defenders who were 'shocked' by Cameron's statement agreed with it. However, they seemed to hold Hamas as the sole responsible for the situation in Gaza, ignoring that Palestinians voted for Hamas and accrediting the thesis that Israel's treatment of Gaza amounts to a collective punishment of a million and a half people.

I don't know if Cameron's statement is tactical or if it is a genuine courageous political act. I don't care. Kudos to David Cameron!
