If we go into Libya to back up the rebels who want democracy then do we prepare to go into Bahrain, Yemen, and ultimately Saudi Arabia should their populations rise up and want to live in a democracy while their governments shoot them in the street, indeed will our intervention inspire rebellion from those people believing that we will back them up should they be unable to manage it alone???
I'd be more concerned about Algeria - closer to Libya, closer to Europe and proven very troublesomemore in the recent past!
