Well done,Scotland

Hmmm....


Thinking about it, now would be a very good time to go to Libya with a couple of Scottish stickurs on the bike.

I get the impression that you would be very, very welcome.

Probably exactly what this is all about - it's so Ewan & Charly can ride through Libya on their next adventure

Setting aside the rights & wrongs of what happened
and from purely an adventure motorcycling point of view
and considering Algeria is looking dodgy
Libya wouldn't be a bad bet for a trip.

Believe its 'dry' though........Ouch !

If it stops all the feckwits that think they are descended from Jocks coming to UK and wearing their family tartan, McWendy's and McKFC, then all well and good.

Lockerbie was in retaliation for the 1988 downing of an Iranian Airbus, Flight 655, from Bandar Abbas. 655 was shot down by a guided missile from USS Vincennes. The US stated that they mistook the flight for an Iranian fighter.
The United States paid compensation of $61.8 million to the families of those killed on IR 655.
In its turn, Libya handed Magrahie over and paid Billions in reparations.

We are talking about a cold war (not so cold at times) between the US (and its allies) and Iran (and its allies).

What does the individual matter ?

Was he not just a soldier carrying out his masters will ?
Not saying he is blameless - "I was just carrying out orders" has not been a viable defence since Nuremburg, i'm just saying that by concentrating on the individuals involved we are being (successfuly) misdirected from the real story once again.
