Libya. Not our problem

So we are now going to war with Libya. One question, why? They are covering it up with a 'no fly zone' but the UN countries can use any means necessary to get rid of gaddafi and the only thing that wont happen is troops on the ground occupying Libya like Iraq or Afghanistan. We will be using ships, planes and probably special forces to attack gaddafi's forces. Why is David Cameron putting more British lives at risk. Innocent young men and womens lives at risk for another countries problems. I am not saying what colonel gaddafi is doing to his citizens is right but this is a country in the middle east. Gaddafi is a horrible twisted man who was ordering planes being blown up along time before bin laden started it. The Lockerbie disaster killed 270 people and many believe gaddafi ordered this act of terrorism. Also the shooting of police officer yvonne fletcher. He is killing his own people for rising up against his 41years of tyrannic rule. But there are plenty of neighbouring countries who could interfere without us playing world police, the Arab league have planes let them sort it. Why cant we just leave a country that is thousands of miles away from us, to sort out there own issues. Or let their neighbours. We have enough problems of our own.
I realise we do alot of trade with Libya (£2bn a year) and they supply us alot of oil (convenient eh!) and as i said the situation there is wrong, evil and barbaric, but in my opinion that is not worth a single penny of tax payers money. Or any lives of troops. Plus Its a muslim country so will no doubt cause even more hatred from the muslim extremists and more ill feeling throughout the muslim world. Possibly causing more muslims born in Britain to launch suicide attacks. Us going to war in Libya could really get out of hand, what if gaddafi teams up with a loose canon nation like Iran who are stirring trouble in the region again. Plus, Al qaeeda are as strong in that part of the world as they are in Pakistan/Afghanistan. It is just another unnecessary risk of British lives, waste of much needed money and another example of how the government doesnt listen to the peoples views and probably doesnt care. Cameron just wants to make himself known to the whole world and make himself look like the peace maker. Oh and leader of Europe, have you noticed how much mention the EU has been getting. Pushing the EU in our faces, joint British-French negotiations, pushing for no fly zones etc convenient isnt it that we have no planes to launch from the sea but we have spare aircraft carriers and France have no aircraft carriers but have planes. Strange but true. All to make us more reliable on the joke that is fast becoming more controlling, the EU. Again the opposite of what British people want. Most people want out of the EU not more in it.
What are we gonna do anyway attack every country in the middle east and Arab states. Bahrain and Yemen rulers are just as bad as Gaddafis regime. One by one the Arab and middle east countries citizens are all rising up against tyrannic rule. But surely we cant go on forever attacking them. Robert Mugabe has been killing hundreds of thousands for years and we havent help the citizens of Zimbabwe. Because its not our problem. Neither is Libya
