Does this sound like Libya today?
The standard Foreign Office response to any crisis:
Stage One
We say that nothing is going to happen.
Stage Two
We say that sometning may be going to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage Three
We say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage Four
We say that maybe there was something we could have done but it's too late now.
