do you think that the UK's military spending levels would be the same if the US drastically cut down its military force projection and investment?
Would probably be a lot lower as we wouldn't keep having to join in in silly wars.

Yup spot on. Libya was completely started by the US and Europe has been dragged into it kicking and screaming.

UK military spending actually went up during the latter parts of the cold war when the US start pulling out of several bases in Europe.

Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has requested an arrest warrant for Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, the prosecutor said at a press conference on Monday.

Two other arrest warrants were also issued for his son Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi, and his brother-in-law Abdullah Al-Sanousi, Libya's head of intelligence, for "war crimes and crimes against humanity," said Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the ICC prosecutor.

"The case is now before the judges, they can accept the request, reject, or ask for more evidence," said Moreno-Ocampo, "in the meantime, the office of prosecutor will continue the investigation."

No they didn't, the UN said we could enforce a no-fly zone, not overthrow a government and kill the leader.

All the actions being taken are under the auspices of the UN resolution. Nobody has made much of an argument otherwise in front of the right people.

Neither of those has been done, have they? And anyway, it's all been approved by the UN, just like everything's supposed to be, so it's all butterflies and unicorns.

The Libyan govt hasn't been overthrown and Daffy is still alive. So, yeah. Neither.

In spite of the UN taking sides.

This will be used as an example for unilateralism in the future.

Yes.

Has nothing to do with the functions of government.

or saddam was still in power as he was hiding from the coalition

but he still does have control of his armed forces. still, the fact that the UN has taken sides in an internal conflict is not good.

It's where he lives. The Office of the President is wherever the POTUS is. Same with Daffy. It's called continuity of government.

As long as he's still directing the functions of the executive branch, yes. And Daffy is doing the Libyan version of that...for everything west of Benghazi, essentially.
