Oh, for heaven’s sake
Will you kindly get a grip
And,
desist from acting like kids
That is
only
if you can
Everyone knows that Libya had nothing whatsoever to to do with the Lockerbie bombing. It was politically expedient at the time to pin the crime on it rather than on a host of other probable suspects...Iran - for instance
So, not only did they convict the wrong man
They convicted the wrong Country
And, the odd thing is
The West in all its entirety
Was in on the conspiracy
Simply because America pointed
an accusatory finger at Libya
And, that was it
That was all that was needed
to convict an innocent man
Don’t delve too deep
Just pronounce the man
and his Country guilty
as charged
Lock him up. Throw away the key....
Let him rot
Or, so America hoped
Halfway through his sentence the alleged criminal was pardoned on compassionate grounds. So, Americas upset? Live with it. The special relationship is broken? Did it ever exist? If it did, is it that fragile? Good on the PM if - along the way - he did a luc
rative oil and gas deal for the benefit of his Country.
Apart from any other consideration can you imagine the uproar there’d have been if the man had died here while being treated on British tax payers money?
