Is it only Britain bombing Gaddafi's regime or did I imagine the moment when France dropped the first bombs?

If that is true, we must state that Britain shelters the largest number of them.

Are you trying to say there are more Al Qaeda terrorists in Britain than there are in Pakistan or Yemen?

Tony Ben, the elder statesman of the British Labor Party and its chairman, has said: “If the US supports Israel out of fear of the American Jews, we in Britain might take the side of the terrorists. Because we fear the more than seven million British Muslims”.

Tony Benn is just a Loony Lefty (his enemies once implied that a Benn-led Labour Government would implement a type of East European socialism to Britain) who is not a member of the Government - not even a member of the party which is in government - and therefore does not represent the British Government.

This is a citation from Gaddafi's speech. Probably he believes in it.

P.S.
British Commonwealth of Nations:
1. Yemen have applied to join the Commonwealth
2. Pakistan is a member of the British Commonwealth

So what? It doesn't mean that the British Government or the government of any of the other 53 Commonwealth nations supports everything that the Yemenis or Pakistanis do (it also doesn't mean that the Yemeni or Pakistani governments are supporters of Al Qaeda just because Al Qaeda terrorists are operating in their countries). Yemen gained its independence from the British Empire in 1967 and is therefore eligible to join the Commonwealth.

By the way, Pakistan has been suspended twice from the Commonwealth, most recently for six months from 22nd November 2007. However, it cannot get kicked out because no country can be kicked out of the Commonwealth, although they are free to leave the organisation whenever they like.

Because of the evil Mugabe, the Commonwealth temporarily suspended Zimbabwe from the organisation in 2002 but in 2003 Zimbabwe decided to leave the Commonwealth altogether.
