Will Cameron be as flexible with the Economy as he was with Libya

Well that's the question addressed in a column by Mary Riddell in the Daily Telegraph.

First of all she looks at how the conflict might impact David Cameron's tenure as Prime Minister and how it will possibly be his defining moment, (for more on that see earlier blog with link to a Mail story).

"Resolution 1973 was voted through as Gaddafi told 700,000 citizens of Benghazi that he would show them "no pity and no mercy". To suggest that Mr Cameron made the wrong call is tantamount to saying that the world should have closed its eyes to slaughter. The Prime Minister was right on Friday, and he is right today. The question is whether he will still be right when the Libyan intervention gets difficult, as it surely will."

This is just one more of the issues Cameron will face in his time but will he be up to it; time will tell.

Will the Libya Conflict define Cameron

Well an article in today's Daily Mail certainly thinks so.

In a piece written by Mail journalist Ian Birrell he points to the defining moments of other Prime Ministers terms in office such as Winston Churchill and World War Two, Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands War, to some extent even Tony Blair and the war in Iraq. Will this mean that the Libya conflict will define David Cameron's reign?

Read the article (link below) and decide for yourself.
