I don't think so. No one wants to go in on the ground. Providing air and naval support for the rebels is about as far as I think this will go.11 Bravo wrote:

Fucking Blair, always causing trouble - even when he's not PM anymore.

The US is constantly doing live-fire military drills anyway. I don't see why they shouldn't do a live-fire exercise on Libya.
to the OP, fuck libya

Why?
Economic: Significant source of oil for some European countries
Humanitarian: Libyan people wanted Daffy out, so he started killing them. This reasoning is hypocritical, considering what's happening elsewhere in the ME (Yemen and Bahrain, for example). The big reason people aren't as concerned with those other countries' actions is because they are countering Iranian influence (or at least perceived Iranian influence), which is "all good" in most circles.
History: Gadahfi's a douche.
WMD: He's still got gobs of them in storage.
Overall, the US should let out allies take the lead. It's their interests that are threatened, not ours.

They have oil, and a ruler unfriendly to the west, so we get involved in fighting rather than simply enforcing a no-fly zone and helping arm one side.ghettoperson wrote:
Has anyone given a reason yet as to why we're involved in Libya, but not anywhere else? I can't think of another example of when the West or the UN has gotten involved in a civil war without something additional going on like ethnic cleansing. And there are countless examples of situations that we've avoided getting involved it. So what are we doing with all these airstrikes? Why do we think it's any of our business?
Unlike Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, Indonesia etc etc.
It will be funny if the rebels turn out to be Islamic radicals, Libya was relatively secular under Gadaffi, as Iraq was under Saddam.
I'd also like to know how command and control centres and air defence system can be deemed an immediate threat to civilians.
Seems we haven't actually attacked any of those.

C2 and air defenses have to be taken down to ensure the NFZ doesn't get mucked with.

I do not approve this military operation. People must learn to take care of their own. This is because Libya is a small strategic very rich country.
