Still watching UN stream. Was hoping for russia and china to make some statement but this libian guy ceeps going on and on. I was curious if they'd say anything as well, but I honestly can't think of any legitimate reason to not support it (besides some sort of self interest like investment in Libya, etc.) I'm not very informed on the topic though, so if I'm incorrect someone please correct me. | ||

To enforce a no-fly zone without killing your own pilots, it pretty much necessitates bombing dangerous targets on the ground. Air strikes are reported to begin within hours, UK planes by Friday, according to BBC | ||

Seems like it would be smart to vote yes if you're going to abstain from a sure-win vote anyways. In a purely pragmatic sense, at least you don't look like the bad guys, even if for whatever reason you don't actually support it. | ||

They just act according to history. And if it turns out to be a failure they can always say they did not vote yes. | ||
