UK wants Libyan revolutionaries armed
[Iran Press TV] British Foreign Secretary William Hague has said international powers should arm Libyan revolutionary forces before the country's ruler Muammar Qadaffy kills more people.

Hague voiced concerns over the violent actions of Qadaffy's regime towards Libyan revolutionaries and called for anti-government forces to be armed as soon as possible.

He said Qadaffy's stay in power equals a "nightmare" for Libyan people.

UK and La Belle France have called for more pressure on the embattled Libyan ruler, saying he has lost legitimacy.

British Prime Minister David Cameron
... British PM Cameron describes himself as a modern compassionate conservative and has spoken of a need for a new style of politics that doesn't involve calling people names. He has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's probably not. He has also claimed to be a liberal Conservative, and a very tall short person. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has urged politicians to concentrate on improving people's happiness and general well-being, instead of focusing solely on financial wealth, which is easy for a stockbroker's kid to say. Ask him to lend you ten quid and see how that works out. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ...
and French President Nicolas Sarkozy have warned Qadaffy to leave and made clear they would enforce a no-fly-zone if they gain international support.

Hague further said, "This is the kind of subject which has to be discussed with our international partners and those discussions are now taking place... If Qadaffy went on to be able to dominate much of the country, well, this would be a long nightmare for the Libyan people and this would be a pariah state for some time to come."

He is also to attend a conference of G8 foreign ministers in Gay Paree on Monday which will discuss the future of Libya after the revolutionary forces overcome Qadaffy's regime.
