I read this and can't help but agree somewhat:

good piece - dont agree with it, but good none the less.
obviously he hates and mistrusts DC, which is healthy, but if this is a "mini-war" that gives DC the chance to pretend hes a world leader and he studies and admires Tony Blairs premiership, then i'm sure hes done what TB didn't - have a clear objective on why they're there and when to leave.
I'm quite sure Daves thought all this through

in any case - i wouldnt want to sit night after night watching people being murdered in Benghazi knowing we could halt it

i know this happens throughout the world and we do little, but two wrongs dont make a right, and, though they'll never say it - Gaddafi's death wouldnt be viewed as a bad thing by the region or the west - there was a british general interviewed on newsnight who sensibly didnt discuss it.....unlike the idiot minister (his name escapes me) that Jeremy Paxman had tied in knots
