    Maggie invading the Falklands didn't loose them that election. Regan invaded Grenada without consulting Congress. Don't get me started on terror used in "the war on terror" etc.


    If letting him stay in one of the ghost estates (on €20 a week till his asylum was processed) could save lives then it's worth considering. He could avail of the free travel pass too.
    Let him bring an oil field with him and clear our national debt.
    The American and British media get on their high horse about these things while forgetting about the brutality theyve used in the recent past. But Libya is a strange country with its many tribes etc but I wouldnt bet against Gaddafi regaining control of the situation, he has lots of supporters as well as many enemies and as his son warned civil war could erupt and where there's an oil field there's an American invasion to "help" sort out the situation.

    They even liked each other for a while and were considered for a joint Nobel Peace Prize. But that was before all the unpleasentness.

    Bit like Cowan, trying to stay on a little longer just to beat the record.

    In this case Omar Bongo who was president of Gabon for 41 years, 188 day

    Guess who is currently on 41 years 175 days ???

    You do realise you just claimed IRA membership right?

    To be fair, if everybody who liked to imply they were members of the IRA actually were members of the IRA, they could have lifted the whole island up barehanded and tipped the British army out of it.

    Interesting thread.

    I have no doubt there will be people in Northern Ireland willing to keep him safe. After all, it was him who give weapons to the IRA to carry on the killing and some would say genocide.
    And some would say the Genocide took place long before that. Maybe your schooling didn't teach you that.

    Its true though. He give weapons to the IRA to kill people.
    The british government under Tony Blair sold weapons to Gaddafi, not to mention Robert Mugabe.
    They obviously hold no grudge against him.

    People were killed in the troubles because of their religion. The IRA did it too as we all know.

    True. Terrorists on both sides were sectarian. The IRA frequently targetted protestants , and the INLA even went in to a church ( Darkley Co. Armagh ) and machine gun sprayed people inside at random. A bit less subtle than sniping at protestant farmers in border counties, which was also done. The UVF / UDA also carried out sectarian atrocities of course. There was no love lost between the extremists on both sides.
    Thankfully things are not as bad now.
