There's talk right now of whether Britain and some others countries should take military action against Colonel Gaddafi. This would be such hypocrisy on behalf on the British Government. Since for so long Britain was an active supporter of Gaddafi. Especially as now a lot more is coming out about the amount of atrocities Gaddafi committed over the years. Whilst all the time Britain with others was dealing with this tyrant for the sake of business and oil. As a Scot it also makes me reflect in particular on the disgraceful decision by the Scottish Government to free the Lockerbie bomber. A man who possibly received his orders direct from Gaddafi. The argument the Scottish government used at the time was that it was for compassionate ground. The government argued the decision to free him was in the spirit of Scottish law, if not the spirit of Scotland itself. That even though Megrahi murdered 270 people, because he was (apparently) dying of cancer, it meant he should still be released to die in his own country. Even in the face of this man committing the biggest atrocity ever known on British soil, the Scottish government said it was the Christian and Scottish thing to do to still show compassion towards Megrahi. Yet the logic of the Scottish government is fatally flawed. Because there is one vital ingredient needed to make the Scottish governments argument remotely plausible. That ingredient is remorse. Megrahi never showed remorse. And as such the Scottish government has shamed Scotland. The decision to free an unremorseful mass murderer was deeply immoral and actually goes against everything the majority of Scottish people believe and what Scotland itself stands for. For that alone Alex Salmon should find himself voted out of office at the next election. Yes, I do believe or I would like to believe, as a Christian and a humanitarian that there is no crime so evil that you still can't find it in your heart to forgive. But the first step in that long journey is for the perpetrator of that crime to show some kind of remorse. And I repeat this is something Al Meghrahi never showed. And therefore he should never have been shown compassion and been freed. It would be nice to think when it comes to everything associated with Gaddafi we've made enough mistakes already. Let's not make another by using military action in Libya.
