No matter what happens, a very sizable portion of the middle-east is going to blame the west. If we bought every man, woman, child and donkey in the arab world a prius they'd be outside right now shouting how we are trying to destroy their way of life and poisoning their minds. im happy my country wont get in this mess | ||

We are to use air power alone to protect civilians, which is a notion so absurd, that its irreality will soon force us to either adapt our means to suit the mandated ends, or conform our ends to the mandated means. In the former case it means ground intervention, in the latter case it means switching over from "protection" to "humanitarian bombing." In either case, the authority of the mandate was as good as dead from the moment it was conceived. that wont happen. the real purpose of the intervention is just to weaken gaddafi army. theyll hand the victory to the rebels on a silver plater because thats the only option left for them (after the "gaddafi must go" fiasco). they will not intervene on foot. that will be the rebels job. | ||

We all remember how the bombing campaign against Milosevic dragged on for much longer than it should because invasion on the ground was not on the table for a long time. | ||

The Pentagon says a five-country coalition including United States, Britain, France, Canada and Italy is launching strikes on Libya designed to cripple Gaddafi's air defenses. Air strikes will mainly target air defenses around the Libyan cities of Tripoli and Misrata, according to Reuters, citing an unnamed official. | ||
