Libya: Is intervention justifiable?
Imagine you are having a family argument and hear the doorbell ringing. The police have heard loud voices and would like to know what happened, to intervene and also take sides.

Sehem il-mara
Fit-8 ta’ Marzu, kien iċċelebrat Jum il-Mara. Dakinhar ħabat ukoll il-mitt anniversarju minn meta beda jiġi ċelebrat dan il-jum. Għaddew mitt sena u għadna għaddejjin bil-ġlieda biex il-mara tiffaċċja opportunitajiet ugwali daqs ir-raġel. Naħseb il-fatt biss li ġlieda bħal din ilha għaddejja mitt sena u għadha għaddejja, huwa sinjifikan- ti. Għandna ħafna pajjiżi, fejn almenu…

Dak li ghaddejja minnu l-Libja diga’ kellu konsegwenzi kbar. Intilfu ghadd kbir ta’ hajjiet, li la nafu kemm u lanqas hemm tama li jsir maghruf ezatt kemm. Indarbu ferm aktar. Tkissir ma’ kullimkien.

Deċiżjonijiet diffiċli dwar il-Libja
Immaginaw lil xi ħadd li jkollu argument fil-familja u jisma’ l-qanpiena tal-bieb tad-dar iċċempel. Ikun il-Pulizija li sema’ xi ilħna għoljin u issa jrid ikun jaf x’ġara, biex jindaħal u jżomm ma’ xi naħa jew oħra. Narawha barra minn lokha.
