They are also wary that he might fund Al Queda and if he wins this civil war they are worried Lybia could be a training base for Al Queda. He is also sitting on top of a stockpile of mustard gas and the West fears terrorist reprisals. And may I thank Italy and the Italian people for letting Nato use their bases.
