Adam war is expensive, very expensive in fact but not nearly as expensive as the lost revenue from the oil fields lost to a country you can't do buisness with. Fighting for Oil maybe be expensive but the west can't live without it, fact! I don't know the figures (could google them) but the cost of the oil being produced in Libya far outstrips the cost of the Wests war machine.

Why are we not bothering with Syria? not even a mention of any military intervention?
