Just wanted to make the point that what's going on in Libya isn't war in any way shape or form. Its a supportive action under UN mandate to provide support and protection for the opposition movement in Libya.
At no point are they mandated to move in on the ground or get militarily involved beyond that remit.
Ultimately it will still be down to the Libyan people to effect any change, remove the encumbent government and form a new one.
All the US is doing is providing support within its responsibilities as a leading member of the UN along with the other nations that are involved.
Debate on these issues is good. I think though its also good to look at the various agendas involved and the sources of any propaganda. I see lots of 'we've got to stop this f**ker now' rhetoric but very little that actually constitutes any real cause for concern or evidence of radical or unconstitutional change taking place.
Bush took us all into Iraq, and then on into Afghanistan, two unpopular, unsuccessful and in many respects uneccesary conflicts that killed hundreds of thousands of people. The current action in Libya to protect an embattled people from murder by their own government by providing logistical and air support is by comparison positively humanitarian. Yet Obama is the one demonised.
