Proceeding contribution from Mike Gapes (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Japan and the Middle East.
Japan and the Middle East
The Prime Minister referred to learning the lessons from Iraq. He also said that time is of the essence. Does he agree that John Major, as Prime Minister, was right to introduce a no-fly zone to protect the Kurds and that, as a result, for 12 years Saddam was unable to attack them even though he remained in power in Baghdad? Is there not an argument today for the international community, either collectively or only some of them, to protect the people of Benghazi?
