Did we think we were doing the right thing in Libya by arming the rebels against Gaddafi. Now those same rebels have gone back to their own countries and attacking the established western orientated countries such as Mali. British and French hostages are being taken so how can we protect them all.

we didn't, and now once again we are seeing our actions coming home to roost. When they bellyache that they are in trouble, are suffering at the hands of a dictator, our government of whichever hue should ignore it, get on with running this country, instead of meddling in others. We only ever come of worse, either caught in the middle of a civil war, or end up with many of their citizens who are fleeing from the madness.
Where does it say that the people responsible were rebels against Gaddafi who had gone back to their own countries?
Mali?The account being given elsewhere on the BBC is that foreign mercenaries who fought for Gaddafi had gone south, on Gaddafi being defeated, had picked up arms from armouries they found en route and then gone on into Mali to join a ready- made conflict. From the account in the link, the particular incident described was an attack by Islamists with al-Qaeda sympathies. There's no suggestion that we were arming them or that they were formerly rebels against Gaddafi

The alternative is Mali coming under the control of an armed radical Islamic group. And of course that would not just be bad news for Mali. Unfortunately none of these issues are straightforward and intervention brings its own problems but all I've heard and read about this from people who seem to know what they're talking about us that intervention in some form was a no-brainer
Cameron has said we are in Afghanistan so as to keep our streets safe from terrorists, yet couldn't wait to get involved in Mali by aiding the French.
Already there is an hostage situation in Morocco involving Westerners all because of the involvement in Mali, couldn't this in turn also make our streets unsafe?
