I am at a loss to understand why America, France and Britain are sending their bomber planes half way around the world to pummel a country they have nothing to do with ... <br /><br />I know that Libya does not (to put it mildly) have a decent leader. But what gives foreign countries from far away the right to use death and destruction as a way of solving the problem?<br /><br />I ask this because when we Israelis get blown up in our own streets, when our kids cower in shelters because of indiscriminate bombing from our Arab neighbours - we are not only urged to have restraint by the US, France and Britain (amongst others) - but are in fact roundly condemned if we in any way defend ourselves.<br /><br />Will the UN be condemning the bombing of Libya anytime soon? Oops - silly me. They approved it!<br /><br />But when we in Israel go after the terrorists who are murdering and maiming our citizens here at home, will the UN be approving our actions? <br /><br />Silly question! We all know the answer to that one!Pamela Levenehttp://tours-with-the-rsvp.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
