maybe they shouldnt attack soldiers if they dont want to get shot?

who is attacking soldiers? the protestors are unarmed and peaceful...

and even if they are rioting and threatening... does that really warrant calling in fighter jets to bomb them? is that reasonable force in restraining a public emergency? gaddafi is a criminal.

There was a video online where protesters in Bahrain were getting shot at by apparent automatic weapons. If they had been a particularly violent mob of people, it may be slightly justifiable to have opened fire in self preservation, but some of the protesters were walking with their arms up, it did not appear that anyone was holding any weapons and the gunfire still came. Also, Gaddafadi is the same dude that apparently burned his own troops for allegedly refusing to shoot at the protesters (NSFW). Not to mention the Bahrain royalty is being extremely callous and in general, prick-ish, about the situation where their own thugs are murdering people on the streets. (Extremely NSFW/NSFL halfway down) It's really quite sad and disgusting how these events are going down imo.

take notice the rocket pods mounted, not bombs, and the pilots allegedly saying they were ordered to fire upon protesters. semantics i know, but bombs are different than rockets.

if tea-partiers stormed a US fort/barracks, would the infantry stationed there open fire on them and kill them all?

I hope they go at them donning three cornered hats, with two hundred year old muzzle-loaded muskets and swords.

Hillary has been using some strong language against Libya lately. However, the US has very little leverage to use against him. Moammar kicked the US diplomats out after word of his "voluptuous Ukraine nurse" got out.

REPORTS FROM Libya Monday were sketchy and confused, but one conclusion appeared certain: The beleaguered dictatorship of Moammar Gaddafi was waging war against its own people and committing atrocities that demand not just condemnation but action by the outside world. Al-Jazeera reported that warplanes had joined security forces in attacking anti-government demonstrators in the capital, Tripoli; human rights groups said hundreds had been killed in clashes in the country's east. Libya's own delegation to the United Nations described the regime's actions as genocide and asked for international intervention.

The diplomats' appeal was one indication that the Gaddafi regime was on the verge of collapse. Opposition forces were reported to be in control of the second-largest city, Benghazi, and some military units may have switched sides. The whereabouts of Mr. Gaddafi, who has ruled Libya with a cruel and erratic hand since 1969, were unknown. However, his son and presumed heir Seif al-Islam Gaddafi delivered a rambling and chilling speech early Monday in which he warned of civil war and vowed that "we will fight until the last man, the last woman, the last bullet." On Monday, the regime appeared to be carrying out that threat.

Arab rulers in Tunisia, Egypt and Bahrain all employed violence against their popular uprisings. But the actions of the Libyan regime are on a different scale. What is occurring in Tripoli and other cities is not only lethal repression but also crimes against humanity. The United States has used its influence to restrain such violence by allied governments, most recently in Bahrain. Now it should join with its allies in demanding that the Gaddafi regime be held accountable for its crimes.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wrote:

put an end to "unacceptable bloodshed" as she condemned Moamer Kadhafi's protest crackdown.
"The world is watching the situation in Libya with alarm," Clinton said in a written statement. "We join the international community in strongly condemning the violence in Libya."
"Now is the time to stop this unacceptable bloodshed," she implored. "Our thoughts and prayers are with those whose lives have been lost, and with their loved ones.
"The government of Libya has a responsibility to respect the universal rights of the people, including the right to free expression and assembly."

What exactly would you expect to happen? I would think best case scenario they'd get given the good news with rubber bullets and CS gas, but if it came down to it I have no doubt they'd get shot.

It would be as ill-advised as the federal assault on the compound was. Besides which, what if some of the responding soldiers themselves are tea-partiers?

I can't help but think "thank fuck for the internet" when seeing videos of the military firing at civilians, and soldiers being executed for not firing at civilians. The execution video for those that haven't seen it yet - NSFW, graphic images (this is post-execution).

On a separate note, Ben Wedeman (CNN): "As first western TV crew to make it to Benghazi we were greeted like liberators, pelted with candy, cheers and thanks. Very humbling."
