We all worried about relations between the Muslims and the Christians in post-Mubarak Egypt. Or, should such a thing come to pass, in post-Assad Syria. At any rate, those of us who knew that there were Christians in those countries did. Well, here is the cause to unite them.
On Libya, go out and buy this week's New Statesman, because the whole of John Pilger's column will not be online until next week. And you must read it, you simply must. Meanwhile, heed the wise words of Peter Hitchens:
"Somehow we’re being sold the idea that the Blair-Brown regime sucked up to Colonel Gaddafi, but our current Government kept their distance. This is false. Archives reveal that the ‘Minister for Africa’, Henry Bellingham slurped up to the Colonel (referring to him as ‘Brother Leader’) at an EU-Africa Summit in Tripoli on November 30, 2010. A few weeks before, another Minister, Alastair Burt, told the Libyan British Business Council that Libya had ‘turned a corner’ which ‘has paved the way for us to begin working together again’."
