UN 1973: Success For Cameron and Sarkozy

There is no doubt that U.N. resolution 1973 is a success for the Prime Minister and re-establishes the credibility of the Foreign Office. It takes the pressure off  Hague. It was not unanimous, but nobody voted against. The list of abstentions is impressive, however; Germany, Russia, China, India and Brazil. These countries either dislike getting involved in the internal upheavals of sovereign states or are uncertain both of the benefit and the outcome of military intervention in the Libyan Civil War.

The most significant development of all is the re-establishment of Anglo French military and diplomatic partnership as a decisive factor. This is very good for the prestige of both governments and provides an important alternative to the U.S., which arrived as a late backer of 1973 and is not planning to take part in the opening phase of any military action. We are therefore in uncharted territory. The last time Britain and France launched a war together was Suez. That did not have a happy outcome for them and confirmed America as the undisputed and dominant power in the West. Perhaps this is the moment when that epoch ends.

The best outcome is that this initiative has a decisive impact in halting the war and stopping civilian casualties. The best outcome of all would be the end of Gaddaffi’s rule as well. Should the initiative fail, many will say, especially in Germany, that failure was obvious from the start. Failure will make matters worse for Libyans. Worst of all would be an Anglo French military failure with casualties and rescue of the project by American military power, followed by an indecisive outcome and another endless conflict. Gaddafi might survive such a scenario, but Cameron and Sarkozy would not. Conversely if it works out, the war stops and Gaddafi goes, both will benefit significantly.

Meanwhile Bahrain and Yemen simmer and neither Egypt nor Tunisia have yet elected workable governments by a credible democratic process. What happens if things do not work out in one, or all, of these countries?

    Quite beneficial posting Excited for extra content articles inside your web-site.

  30. I am glad that I found this information. I am the case of person that loves to be inspired. Whether it exist with regards to dwelling liveliness or business. This blog has some great posts and your posts inspire me to exist productive and has given me ideas to move forward.

  31. This is NOT SPAM, all I am asking you to do is read this…PLEASE and pass it along. This is a TRUE UPDATE on the Gulf Coast BP Oil Spill!!

    Have you ever heard of Whipple Van Ness Jones, III?

    Probably not, unless you watch the CBS daytime soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.

    You see, according to Wikipedia….

    Whipple Jones III is a fictional character on CBS’s daytime drama The Bold and the Beautiful. He had been portrayed by Rick Hearst from February 13, 2002 to August 29, 2002 and was absent for nearly seven years before returning to the show on July 17, 2009….

    However, what they don’t tell you is that Whipple Van Ness Jones, III is a real person.

    Whip resides in NW Florida with his wife, 3 children, and pets.

    The problem is that when the BP oil spill happened Whip and his family lost their family business in Seaside, Florida the name of the store was Molly Caroline’s named after his two daughters Georgia Caroline and Molly Catherine (Whipple Van Ness Jones, IV wasn’t born yet when they opened their store).

    Whip loved the idea that The Bold and the Beautiful named a character after him, he thought it was fun because obviously how else would they come up with the EXACT SAME NAME for the show.

    Whip contacted the show early on (sent a copy of his birth certificate and drivers license), they didn’t offer any money (and Whip didn’t ask for any), just an autograph from the star portraying him.

    The problem is NOT that Whip has a character on a show, the problem is Whip and his family lost their main source of income due to the BP oil spill.

    Now when Whip applies for a job, and the employment places run a reference check on him and find a Wikipedia article calling Whip a fictional character on CBS’s daytime drama The Bold and the Beautiful, they claim he is using the name of a soap opera character…

    What Whip did was start his own dot com….and is allowing people to post blogs on his site for free, just to show that he is a real person.

    Google does give Whip a TINY amount to have ads on the right hand side of his webpage.

    Please pass this along to your friends to show that Whipple Van Ness Jones, III is not only a real person, but a man trying to keep food on his family’s table.

    Thank you!!

    PS- Whip and his family did put in a claim with BP, they just haven’t heard anything yet. AS OF MARCH 24, 2011

    PPS- Also, some people consider CBS to have BORDERLINE stolen Whip’s identity. Whip doesn’t see it this way, but how would you feel if you couldn’t get a job based on what Wikipedia says about you????
