Libya: End is Welcome, but Doesn't Justify the Means | |
By Simon Jenkins We may all applaud Qadhafi’s downfall, but it remains the case that Britain's intervention in Libya was wrong. The downfall of a dictator is always welcome. Especially welcome is the downfall of Qadhafi of Libya. He was not the worst of his genre, but for 42 years was the beneficiary of the crassest western intervention, veering between ineffective sanctions and ostracism and Tony Blair's cringing, oil-drenched “friendship.” More welcome still would have been his downfall clearly at the hands of his own people, not courtesy of western armies. |
