The photo of Brown and Gaddafi was taken at the G8 Summit in 2009, so Brown wasn't alone; don't forget Obama, Sarkozy, Berlusconi and the rest of the most prominent leaders of the World. It's called politics. Get the contracts for building and managing capital projects for one's own country. Sell them arms and extract the oil - jobs for Brits, Yanks, French and money flowing into the economy. It's what politicians do and have done with dictators since time began if there was something in it for them or their country. You don't really think Nato cares about the people of Libya - of course not, they want contracts for rebuilding the country and the oil.
