so srsly

you are saying that all this is about events more than 20 years ago? Why the resort to opportunism then? Why not, you know, deal with it while Libya was problematic, and not 20+ years later? Also i tell you that no one at an official level has said this has anything to do with retribution for events 20+ yrs ago**

the events of the last 20 yrs have shown instead someone who has tried more than anything else to do business. And your citation supports that.

but surely with the war crimes commissions and talk of genocide, rather than say, trying to put down an armed uprising supported by foreign special forces, imported weapons and high tech weapons used by allies, you are referring to massacres and genocides.

perhaps you can indicate to me which massacres and genocides have taken place, and refer to some evidence of them. surely there is evidence?

** i will say that IMO cameron (co-main cheerleader in the early stages of this event) was motivated by the megrahi case. In that the maneuvering to get Megrahi freed, and then not actually die put Britain in a position of being looked at badly by the US. This is not a position that britain is comfortable in, and especially the new conservative government saw an opportunity to expunge that, and also firmly associate that mess with the Labour party.
