It's Independance Day, the birthday of our nation, and I switch on my computer to read the below wisdom by MP Dr. George Vella, the PL's spokesman for Foreign Affairs. You have to read it more than twice to believe it:
"Gonzi mkien ma qal lil Gaddafi biex inizzel l-armi u jieqaf jiggieled. Gonzi ghamel biss dikjarazzjoni , u ma nafx ghaliex deher skomdu hafna hafna meta ghamilha, fejn iddikjara li Gaddafi kien spicca ghaliex hu haseb sbaljatament, li fi ftit granet kien se jaghmel bhal Ben Ali u Mubarak u jitlaq.Kien sbaljat kompletament Gonzi, u ma qies xejn l-interess tal-investiment enormi Malti fil-Libja.meta ghamel dikjarazzjoni prematura bhal din."
Here you have the underlying Labour mentality: politics is not a question of what is right or wrong, but of what is convenient or not. Dr. Vella is openly declaring what we already knew, the PL has refrained from condemning Gaddafi for all these months just in case he returns in power. They are probably still hoping his loyalists manage a coup and regaing control of Libya. It seems they're heavily missing his flow of financial contributions to their party. No regard to the way he treated his people and his servants, but only what's in the interest of business (in some cases, probably their own). Thank God there isn't a Labour Government in power, we'd probably have been Gaddafi's last standing allies, maybe even sending him troops led by the great KMB.
Dr. Vella should have had the accumen to realize that once a UN resolution to overthrow him was passed, Gaddafi was finished. THAT was the point of no return. With that resolution in hand, the French, British and the rest of the Allies would be sure to go all the way to remove him from power. So even from a purely financial and business interest, which is so much to Vella's heart, Malta is today more advantaged by having side-lined with the new National Transitional Council than by having stayed 'neutral' just in case the rotten Gaddafi returns to power. If Dr. Vella hope to be our alternative Foreign Affairs Minister, he should have been able to read this.
