The Lybian revolution is the most important for the UK (in terms of our recent major political decisions), the shame of how we behaved with the Pan-Am bomber, the fact he held his hands up after the Iraq war and how we shook his hand in return
That action after getting rid of Saddam is key, how did we handle that with the rest of the nations? We just acted as though removing your nuclear program meant you could stay in, when Egypt, etc had no nuclear program. How were the people meant to feel?
We (and i mean those of us on the left) should have helped the people over there who wanted what we wanted, it turns out there were more of them than we thought.
