Why we shouldn't be entering foreign politics

As news comes through that US, UK, and French air forces are standing by to fire on Libyan defences it strikes a cord that foreign countries should do not get involved with foreign politics.

The news of Libyan news story has become sort what of a background story as the minute by minute details of the Japanese Nuclear Power Plant has taken centre stage. The Libyan news story however is now though dominating the front page news stories of all the morning papers.

Let me just refresh your mind about what has happened and how we have got into this sticky situation and the reason for such dramatic forces.

• February 15th 2011: A series of protests begin and a small uprising against the Colonel Gaddafi regime. 
• February 15th - March 16th - Continued uprising against the Colonel Gaddafi regime, civilians are reported dead. 
• March 17 March - A UN security council announces that a Ceasefire is to be announced in Libya following violent demonstrations between protesters.
• March 17th March - A ceasefire agreed by the Libyan military, appears to be ineffective and deemed to be a lie to the UN security council. 
• March 18th - 19th March - A no fly-zone agreement is reached. A meeting in Paris announce that Military action is need to protect the Libyan government attacking its own people. On the night of the 19th March, US, UK and French airships and air forces bombard Libyan army defences to weaken there attacks on the people of Libya. 

The mission called Odyssey Dawn, in my opinion is purely a demonstration of power from coalition nations, a sheer arrogance to flex their muscles. An opportunity to test out some of the most scientific weaponry. Tomahawk missiles all 100 are being fired as we speak from  sea forces in the Mediterranean sea, the cost of a single missile £300,000 . Weren't we meant to be saving money? What happened to those proposed preplanned cuts?

We shouldn't be involved in foreign politics (Full Stop) the coalition has now set a benchmark or a precedent in foreign politics involvement. Why don't we go in and attack North Korea or Bahrain over their government tactics? We probably won't because we know the full scale of the armoury and the major threat it could pose and cause further civilian wars, but it poses a question why should we get involved in the first place in foreign politics. 


We need talk, not to force to solve this situation in Libya. It appears the UN and Coalition forces have lost patient too early and too soon in my opinion.  I have feeling this latest mission is not going to end nicely and isn't going to end any time soon.

The Japanese Earthquake of 2011

As the UK arises to another day, spare a thought for the 100,000's of Japanese civilians who have lost their homes, their friends and most importantly their families.

The earthquake and resultant tsunami that battered the eastern coastline of Japan has engulfed many peoples sacred memories of where towns once stood, now stand in fragmented ruins. As many of us will look on in hope and disbelieve, we realise that we are helpless to defend against god's powerful nature.

I don't think anyone could of imagined that on the 11th March 2011 at approximately 2 pm Japanese time, waves of up to 10ft would clatter into buildings, remove houses from their foundations, trees from their roots and eventually leave nothing behind in its path for destruction.

As we await further news bulletins, that bring us up to the minute news on these disasters, we sometimes forget to spare a thought for individuals who have lost everything and the immense struggles they must now go back to returning back to reality and some without their loved ones.

This truly destructive act of nature that has been broadcast on television networks, over the internet and through our social networks has really shown that as an entity, as a world, we cannot and may never be able to control the force that nature brings. No matter how intelligent our scientists are, nor the instruments that measure such disasters, are only salvage that exists is hope.

So next time you awake in your bed or start another day at work, spare a thought for 100,000's of civilians living for another night, with no food, no water, little electricity and think how lucky you are to be alive.

Battered & Bruised: Even the most powerful nation in the world struggles to come to terms with the effects of such a major disaster.
