Cameron and interantional ethics

Good that in his speech to the UN General assembly last week the PM stated that the international community must not allow more dictators to oppress their people and that regimes that do not comply with the rule of law should be dealt with. He was obviously referring to oil rich Libya and ignores other states that have been in violation and have been responsible for invading other sovereign countries.

David Cameron and others in that position would be more convincing if they acted against those who break international law more decisively and also dealt with their on friends and allies who ignore the rule of law he so much likes. Sitting on the fence will never convince real libertarians that Cameron is serious about his intentions. But he is not sitting on any fence he is simply following double standard foreign policy, divide and rule is very much in when it comes to international issues and foreign policy.
