UK MP draws parallels between Libya and US war in Vietnam http://www.irna.ir/ENNewsShow.aspx?NID=30319758&SRCH=1

A left-wing British MP has warned of the danger of West becoming embroiled on the ground in Libya in a similar scenario as 'mission creep' led to the involvement of hundreds thousands of US troops in Vietnam in the 1960s. “We have to find a peaceful way to deal this civil war in Libya we have got involved with and joined one side, which is a terrible thing,” said Jeremy Corbyn. “I am very frightened that we will end up going down the road of some form of occupation. I think this is where the implications of all this will lead to,” Corbyn warned“This is a British, French and to some extent, American operation to get control of a lot of resources ... and this government that was invited over from Benghazi are part of the process of, no doubt in a very short time, receiving arms but above all making oil contracts.” 

“What we are doing is offering occupation, weapons, more arms sale, more oil exploitation and more of this neo-colonial relationship between Europe and North Africa,” the Labour MP said. The rights that people have won in post-colonial territories, he said have “never willingly granted by European or American occupation powers, they have been won by the people in those countries.” “The hypocrisy of this whole process is breathtaking. Saudi Arabia invades Bahrain - not a word is said about it, many people are killed in Yemen - very little is said about it,” Corbyn said.
