Update: Libyan rebels desecrate graves of British war heroes -- The Telegraph
My Comment: When I read about this cemetery attack a few days ago, I said to myself that as bad as Gaddafi was, he would never have permitted this to happen. Unfortunately for Libya, these desecrations are a symptom of the breakdown of order that is occurring in Libya today.

This is a downright disgrace. Sickening to see the lack of respect for Veterans who fought against tyranny. Whether they agree with the current wars Britain is involved in or not, there is no denying the legitimacy of Britain's role in WW2 as fighting for freedom against fascism. Although we must remember these are most likely a tiny minority of Libyans - extremists cannot tarnish a nation. In fact these extremists remind me of Gaddafi whom provided the IRA with semtex which was used in terrorist attacks throughout England and Northern Ireland.
