as he shares his insights into the conflict that's coming up next week in our interview in a nazi. today i'm talking to kelvin mackenzie former editor of the sun newspaper columnist he's spoken out against the military intervention in libya saying that maybe it is not worth an ounce of british blood killed mackenzie that's a very strong position to take i mean the government reckons that as strikes prevented a massacre in benghazi easily that's worth a few british bombs and so it seems well first of all we don't know whether there was going to be a massacre a big goals this was the this was the government push this was cameron's personal speech. in the end of the day that this is libyans fighting libyans and who are we to say who should be running their country after all when i lost a lot i didn't notice any of the libyans interfere when the cavaliers and the roundheads

took place in a revolution or the far as i could see there was nobody from tripoli wondering where in the french revolution this is a revolution quite normal the other side of got guns mysteriously they seem to have rocket propelled grenades they seem to have anti aircraft fire ability these people sitting there with the spotted gun leaning over friends saying your day fairly sophisticated and if you take the other aspect is that the rebels themselves who i wish well although i feel very unsure about what our relationship with libya is going to be at the end of all this we have al qaeda wandering around. how do we know the the end of the day that they don't end up running the damn country we don't know anything about this there is a justification for us doing much more them for no fly zones there is

a justification when they blow up a passenger airline over lockerbie killing our people on the ground and killing people for america there was a justification to do what i suspect russia might have done under the same circumstances which you said right we're coming in we're taking you out we're bombing the hell out of the place and then there will be a change of regime and that would be more justifiable than this but libyan rebels did off off to intervene they also may say to intervene do we not that full have a duty to go in and help the mouse no we don't want you to do we go to a saw aid in a revolution who is trying to grab power to decide what the outcome of that war is going to be i say we have no duty while we are out there wandering around the desert there was a justification it was lockerbie there's no justification i prefer the russian position i prefer the chinese position i prefer the german position all of which is the siamese we wish you well we're not firing any guns away not sending in any

planes what now then if you were phoenician that we put out a need for libyans to what could essentially be a bloody civil war it is a bloody civil war that's what happens in civil wars that isn't the point the reason that you have the word war involved in civil war is it's not called civil negotiation it is a fight and in the end i expect the rebels they will win but they don't need to win risking our blood than our money what if now that the international community has irreparably for them that with him he actually stays in power and yet first of all i don't care about the international community and secondly they haven't but you know they don't like him but there's lots of people they don't like i mean why they . after why don't they go in while you were at libya just go down the road a bit to the congo where literally under a thousand people are being wiped out why haven't we gone there why don't we go and protect the minority tribe in the zimbabwe there's

a lot of injustice in the world there may be injustice even in this country right who knows but the issue is that there is nothing that can be done the international community is a big fat rolls berry and what happens to the politicians is that they look around them so they look at this their ratings in the polls and they say you know wall i'm not doing very well here the people who vote for me think i'm an idiot they're going to charge me you know what's in there were about to wander around north africa wander around the middle east why do we go into saudi arabia where they back in march is the king as announce there will be severe repercussions for demonstrations and in the east they started firing everybody why don't we go into the am in why don't we go in everywhere what's your answer to all these questions why don't we go and see them and why don't we get into syria because it's nothing to do with us we have neither the power the firepower nor the will nor will as we learned from iraq where one hundred eighty of. good people died and probably forty

billion forty or fifty billion quid went out of our coffers which we could possibly even for that profit was up but it has nothing to do with this things take time and yet we have still going into libya which by you know take also has nothing to do with us is because we could have been open about gadhafi you know what it is we're war and nation trying to relive the old days of the empire cameron keep on shouting out where of all the pink bits gone you know strolling around the middle east you know without a site and without an exit plan we know how to go into these places we have no idea how to get out u.k. institutions played a big role in rehabilitating the gadhafi regime not to say don't go and say that they go said spin in the global media now that the media has. turned on him again how important is it for the chip to my saying an intervention like this and indeed regime change will be i think we should divide the up into two points first of all

the governments whoever they are in this been going on there for forty odd years we have been licking gadhafi as backside now for for decades whether we supply arms to them or we embrace them like that disgusting piece of bread there but actually these people that you know at the same time politicians movie that way so want to have we're kissing gadhafi backside and now we're trying to kick it it's ridiculous so the media do have a role and the role of the media is to expose that we are trading with dictators now so what does the government say they say we have to deal with the reality the political reality we have to we have to trade with these people and then somebody wakes up a circle to the world so trading with this bomb a mistake. it is pathetic absolutely pathetic but at the same

time it every so often the government changes power and when the government changes for how they view changes power so there's no consistency to my mind actually the media have been pretty good they've been pretty good the problem we face now is we're now at war with people and we don't want so we actually have to support our troops we don't have to support ideas like cameron got nothing else to do decide whether we should be wandering around all spittle in the u.k. or should we wander around the battlefields of of the middle east but we have to have to support our troops so the media gets caught in a difficult position its troops are its readers and all the center of our world. the government they're idiots and the libyan regime a disgusting so the media gets caught in a very difficult area and you were the most notorious editor of the u.k.'s most notorious tabloid very kind of you to put it why do you make that so that it with tabloid culture essentially that made was like this easier to sell and popularize

with the british public eye except the first bit of taurus and i accept the the sun did spectacularly undermine excellent editorship i think that they didn't actually make any difference to government policy i mean you know. the issue about the media is it's like the sea it's always with us you simply got to put up with if you're a policymaker and all right there will be a lot of aggravation about libya now i mean it started off all right we thought we were going to blow blow them all out of the water we'd all be home for having having a cup of tea at the ritz while past four so the nightmare is is is still to be faced in my view but i don't think it's fair to blame the media for it i mean i'm personally massively hostile to the libyan infraction mainly because i saw wired and in iraq these things take peculiar turns which you can't really work out

into the actually nor guess. nevertheless. you know i'm very much in favor of our soldiers and so you get toward a bit the media restrung go i think you're right about that but the media stronger because of what happened in iraq i mean the trouble was that a million people marched against the iraq war blair blair was not telling his cabinet and the things will be revealed now because he was scared they were going to leak so basically they were deciding it as though you and i were having a nice chat another glass of beer said oh yes it would be it would you think given the old fuzzy was a bit of a go yes good idea tom and then they went in right so the million were ignored people will say that the government various governments not nothing from the iraq and afghanistan but do you think what in fact what you learned was how to sell another military intervention no absolutely the issue is quite clear. we didn't want iraq it was lumbered on us by

a vainglorious prime minister. cameron is now wandering around in the desert of to brook trying to work out how to get out he would look in the audio to the end of all this but the but the underlying issue is with libya there have been no deaths on our side just why if crashed and god forbid we lose ten people all all by the way they use those heat seeking missiles which you can basically just walk in and according to today's papers. if that happened we. don't even think about it so the issue is we haven't dropped any blood yeah we've dropped tens of millions of pounds which we haven't gotten but not one single one of the people is has died where that happens the game and the game will change politically what does someone like david cameron gain from waging a war in africa a military of what cameron saw what was in it for him or for a country he's

a pro for he is unfortunately a professional bleeding. and so he's one of those guys who rush around endlessly he's a total political animal by the way rush around endlessly saying something must be down. there is something mustn't be done this light when you're about to send off a really stinking is. on the night before to your boss right. don't send that a mile go to bed wake up in the morning reread it and decide whether it was a good idea or not cameron hasn't got that ability by sickly i think he's going mad he's gone mad very early he's only been in power a year now balmy is he going to be if he lost as long as blair blair was such a father at the end of it. my suspicion is that the pressure is just driven by kelvin mackenzie thank you very much.
