In Iraq Saddam Hussein murdered hundreds and then thousands of his countrymen so the Western World (primarily US and UK) went into Iraq - killed the leader and called it peace keeping.
In Afghanistan civil war atrocities caused the US, UK and NATO to kill thousands and call it peace keeping.
In Nigeria, Libya, Darfur, and many other countries across the world the story is the same. Civil unrest or instability and you can rely on the Western world to come and help. We will depose despotic leaders, and assassinate those that we consider to be a risk.
In China, Monks (traditionally seen as peaceful and gentle people) are at the centre of a furious and vicious quelling of their right to protest at the disgusting treatment of Tibet under Chinese rule.
When can we expect to see a military mobilisation of the Western World to remove this despotic and evil leadership?
Just as soon as we let them finish making our clothes, electrical goods, and plastic products.
Sometimes the duplicity of my own Government disgusts me.
