Re: Ivory Coast - is this hypocrisy?

While i would be happy if we could sort out the problems of every nation on the planet when they hit trouble we cannot and in some cases we should not. Africa is such a cauldron of problems and solving one even short term is difficult unless any intervening nation is prepared to commit a lot of time and hell of a lot of resources. Right now the UK is as over committed as it gets even if we wanted to intervene here we are simply in no position to do so. Whats happening in the Ivory Coast is a tradegy but being practical it isn't one of our making and shouldn't be one of our fixing we have to draw the line somewhere. Look at Libya as the straw that is breaking the UK militarys back and ask "arn't we asking enough of our forces right now".
