Arguing that the disintegration of Libya was inevitable once Ghadhafi was overthrown.

This may have been true — but the article overlooks the point that the west did not start the civil war in Libya. Libyans did that. The western intervention initially prevented Ghadhafi from massacring the rebels of Benghazi, then was redirected toward defeating him.

You can argue that Libya would be better off today if Ghadhafi had reimposed his power and killed the rebels. The author of the article would probably assert that. I can't say it wasn't true. However, we must be skeptical of the hindsight that claims something was predictable.

Shao Jiang protested at Tiananmen Square, then fled to Britain. UK thugs raided his house, apparently because he protested the visit of Chinese strongman Xi Jinping.

He was arrested too, just for holding a sign. Protesters who held Tibetan flags to protest Xi Jinping's visit to London were also violently arrested.

Looks like Britain has a new "special relationship". Will Cameron become Xi's poodle?

Large fires in Indonesia are deliberately started in order to eliminate rainforests to make room for palm oil plantations.

This not only causes respiratory illness, even in Singapore and Malaysia; it also emits so much CO2 that it is globally significant.

A large Indonesian palm oil producer has adopted a policy to protect forests.

This is just a first step, since we can't take for granted that companies will keep their promises.
