Your action are pure criminal and equal to state sponsored terrorisms the same way the UK, US and the goddamned NATO did in former Yugoslavia.
Your government in UK are the biggest terrorist state in the word together with the US in criminally bombing and looking for regime change in Libya the way you did in Iraq by spending billions and billions of dollars and have accomplished nothing so far. You killed millions of people during your history and become one of the worst criminal nation on planet earth.
God will punish you.
Down with UK-US criminally clique together with NATO

I have spent time in the middle east traveling independently and find the normal every day person to be someone who I can have dialogue with and prejudice are soon dispelled, a willingness to understand and except and at times disagree makes for interesting conversation.
What I saw tonight makes my blood boil, the Libyan鈥檚 standing up to this regime have my admiration, and although I鈥檓 a 鈥渨esterner鈥 I stand by you all in thought side by side with you in your wish to be free, if I were there with you I would fight by your side for your freedom you see the hand of friendship has no colour and as well as being my unknown friends you are also my brothers.
I wish all those marching for the right to say what is in their hearts well, and hope the cost of your freedom is not too high.

The program just showed the start of the revolution,but don't forget other areas in the east and west who suffered a lot over last month.I think more of similar programs needed to expose this regime aggression.

"the criminal aggression against people of Libya by the UK and US. Your action are pure criminal and equal to state sponsored terrorism"
I find this quite short sighted,
The civiian casualties caused by the allied intervention are a regrettable accident where all possible measures were taken to prevent it.
The Libyan regime opening fire on unarmed civilians with anti-tank artillery was with the single intention to kill the civilian population.
Yes the UK and US do bad things, It's just that all possible measure are taken to ensure these bad things are only done to bad people.
The loss of human life is always, always a terrible thing but the UN gave Gaddafi the chance to prevent this action by abiding by a ceasefire.
The rules were very simple, stop killing your own civilians or we will come and stop you.
How could anyone be against that kind of idea?
The alternative is inhumane, to turn a blind eye to the suffering of innocent civillians, that is not the country I grew up in, That is not the morality I grew up with and that is not the government the British people elected to govern them

And then of course the witnesses of torture, well that may be true, but it is only the alleged victims of said torture that are giving evidence, and by those standards then every person who say's they have been tortured by the west in Guantonimo Bay we have no choice but to believe them as we believe the victims of alleged Qaddaffi torture which in a way makes us the west nowhere near being able to judge Qaddaffi in this respect, thats all i'm saying, come on 大象传媒 play it fair at least!...
