"Mr President, the Western-led bombing to oust Gaddafi was supposed to be a success story for a new kind of warfare. Politicians such as Cameron and Sarkozy wanted us to believe they had devised a surgical military intervention. More, the bombing was supposed to show that European leaders could exert influence in North Africa to match America’s. What blood-soaked European vanity that has turned out to be! Libya is not a failed state. It is no kind of state at all. It is a territory of murder and chaos, of kidnapping and butchery.
The EU should do nothing but stay out. Ms Mogherini’s eurocrats can do no good by meddling in a civil war which Europe helped cause – and with whom would they negotiate anyway? With which set of Islamic extremists or tribal war lords or American favourites? Our interference turned loose chaos in Libya. We must not enter conflicts that are not in the national interests of Member States."@en1
