Libya II
Thousands of emails are pouring in enquiring as to where Libya was on my HII. The answer is 51st, i.e. quite low, but three ahead of Iraq. The main reason was it's pretty tasty $1bn a year military -- in Human Rights terms it was actually the 6th worst country in the world on the Observer measure. Thus if I have given too much weight to military matters, and perhaps Iraq suggests I have, then the humanitarian interventionists must still want intervention, unless Gadaffi can be persuaded peacefullly.
