‘For those that think…”

is another example.

A good scout would easily distinguish between ‘ketchup’ and ‘blood’.

By the way, I harbour no ‘vindication’ against Mr. Dalli.

It is not the question of paying or not paying. Some days ago when the American embassy chartered a ship to get its citizens out it was reported that these same Americans had to sign papers requesting them to refund the American government. After all these Egyptians were working and earning money there. Why should we one of the poorest nations in Europe have to make good for their transport back to their country.
I don’t know and I don’t want to seem like an uncharitable Maltese but I say why is it always us. Our old people are not daring putting a heater on because of the price of gas( we have to use the money to save employment) now we are playing the millionaires and using the very Air Malta which two weeks ago was a drain on our economy to make six flights in this sense.
All in all I say we are also sick of mind to even consider getting the Eritreans here. The time of the christians in the Arena is over and when this is also over we have to face the music.
Yes for me our children come first.

Anyone know when these flights will be operating??? Or could the minister have jumped the gun?? Also why is it that the Egyptians are going to get the ride free from Djerba and the maltese who were in Libya had to pay?

Quite correct.This is a matter for the Libyan people to resolve.Very obious from the comments that most contributors have never set foot in Libya.I worked there for close to two decades,and pretend to know a little of the mindset of these people.Catagorically stated ,no Libyan will accept the interference of foriegners in their affairs.And rightly so.
For those that think the US act for idealistic,moral reasons,think again.Their intervention is confined to the places where they perceive an easy victory,coupled with either strategic or financial gain.
Cambodia,where millions were murdered,Uganda,when Amin was EATING his people,Zimbabwi,tens of thousands starving,with Mugabbe living the life of Riley.Palistine,Burma,China.Many,many more examples available to those that wish to see.No sabre rattling or gunboat diplomacy for them.
