Default NATO - step up to the plate lads...

On 24 March NATO supported the no fly zone in Libya UN ruling but members, UK, France and USA aside, seem to be pretty reluctant to actually help and do what was agreed. For reluctant read sweet FA.

A split which Gaddafi exploits of course.

Seems little point of having NATO if members can ignore the rules when push comes to shove?

Could not agree more. If you are going to have a vote to do something, then you do what you voted for!

Nah, it's cheaper to be a member but let others do the work.

The Germans won't get involved - they still have their post Sobibor angst that seems to prevent them from doing anything substantive in these situations!

That the Germans have avoided getting involved militarily since WW2 due to what they did during that war. Of course, they were right at first, but they are they biggest economy in Europe, so nowadays they should contribute as much as the UK and France.

And perhaps our NATO partners Spain would track down a few of it's arms dealers and ask them to go out to Libya and collect the unexploded ordnance from the cluster bombs which they sold and are now waiting to maim innocent kids who find them in the future. Evil bloody weapons (now banned)

Costs money to take part but nothing to agree with the vote.
