It was interesting to see the international calls for a no fly zone over Libya come to nothing, it also looks like the prospect of military intervention from a US backed force is never going to happen.
Events in other areas of the middle east have certainly been a large factor. In Bahrain, home to the US Navy fifth fleet since 1991, democracy demonstrations against the ruling royal family have been put down with help from Saudi Arabia troops and a three month state of emergency declared, this puts the US in a very difficult position, how can they call for Libya leader Gaddafi to stand down while on the other hand supporting the undemocratic Bahrain rulers who have called in foreign troops to suppress relatively peaceful demonstrations?
These latest events show only too clearly what an incredibly ill judged and unwise decision it was to invade Iraq in 2003 and overthrow a Sunni ruler who had kept a relatively uneasy peace in his country for so long but had done so without the aid of foreign mercenaries or troops. If Gaddafi eventually loses or regains control of his country at least it will have been Libyan people who ultimately decided the outcome and not foreign involvement which history tells us almost always leads to further unrest.

I see William Hague is still talking about possible military intervention in Libya!
The man hasn't got a clue and should have been sacked for the fiasco in Libya a week ago when he sent an SAS team out there without informing the rebel Libyan leaders.
Empty rhetoric from Hague and now the Americans as well, do they really think the public would accept them dragging their countries into another futile war in the middle east?
Looks like they just did!!
