Indeed, whose side is Cameron on? The same question applies to most other Western leaders.
Remember all the hype about the West helping the people of Arab states to become democracies? Even though it was perfectly clear that it would only end in disaster - Cameron led the charge to support the “Arab Spring”.
The political argument for British troops being in Afghanistan has been: “to keep Britain safe from Jihadi terrorists and deprive them of training grounds”. As a result of the “Arab Spring”, it seems the Jihadis now have training camps even closer to our shores.

On Monday, Jonathan Evans, the head of MI5, warned that the mayhem caused by the so-called Arab Spring has resulted in the creation of new Al Qaeda training camps throughout the Middle East, especially in Syria and Libya, where British jihadis are receiving training in terrorist tactics. They are intent, he added, on returning to Britain to launch attacks here.

Meanwhile, in Libya — despite Britain and France’s intervention — Islamist militias now rule the streets. The country is at serious risk of being torn apart along tribal and regional lines.
Just last week, more than 100 people were killed in clashes between rival tribes in Libya’s south, and a band of armed Islamists occupied the capital’s airport in protest at the arrest of one of their members. The Libyan transitional government exists only in name.

The terrifying reality is that we are seeing once secular, tolerant cultures being dragged back to the Middle Ages — and with the implicit blessing of the West. Indeed, Saudi Arabia’s continued status as a vital Western ally holds up a mirror to the rank hypocrisy of the pro-democracy rhetoric we hear from the likes of Barack Obama and David Cameron.
