THE current advice to Westerners in Libya following the latest attack on a car carrying Westerners is to leave the country.
Both Libya and Iraq have now (post-invasion) descended completely into mayhem since their “liberation” by war-mongers Tony Blair and George Bush.
Bush dressed up this invasion (quite probably in a revenge attack as he suspected Iraq was behind the Twin Towers atrocities) as “Liberating down-trodden and terrified people”.
Blair, as a further reason for invading Iraq with Bush, claimed Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, aimed at the UK - he hadn’t.
Both countries have descended into total chaos.
The powerful men - Saddam Hussein (Iraq) and Muammar Gaddafi (Libya) - who controlled their people with an iron fist were toppled and then executed.
Colonel Gaddafi was portrayed as so totally evil his removal from power was deemed by The West as absolutely necessary.
Was he “totally evil”?
His bringing to fruition of one massive engineering project has never been mentioned by The West.
This project (little-known by most people) was called “The Great Man Made River” and it brought, via a massive pipeline (13 feet in diameter and more than 1,000 miles long) potable water from deep in the Sahara desert to Benghazi and then all along the coast of Libya to Tripoli.
