Do you think that there needs to be some kind of intervention? Or should the world leave Libya alone and let the people fight there own war?

Edit - wrong thread..

I know it seems cruel for me to say at this moment, but no, I believe there should be no miltaristic intervention. Governments should impose diplomatic and economic sanctions, but there should be no occupational force or any militaristic action. No-fly zone's are commonly subjected to failure and large numbers of co-lateral damage, which often leaves a dangerous situation where you have commited and you must continue to pursue military intervention. If a government was responsible to its own people, like it should be, then they would avoid this. Secoundly, by pursuing a hummanitarian mission, this opens up the same for intervention in other countries which aren't oil rich. This will stretch resources. If the government dosen't pursue this with other states such as Zimbabwae and/or states which aren't resource rich then it will be seen as both hypocritical and corrupt and many people eyes(not that they care). So in conclusion the costs far outweigh the benefits of such an intervention.

Do you mean like in all the other countries around the middle east\north Africa?
Forgive me if i am wrong but are there not rebellions and uprisings in many countries throughout the middle east\north Africa that all started around the same time as Libya? Why is it only the Libyan rebels that are receiving international intervention?

Looking for consistant actions by obama ...

If attacking Libya is OK - and not saying it isn't - then what about Yemen and Syria, where "bad men" (as BH calls them) are also killing their own civilians?

And just what is the plan, the the goal for the Libyan operation? No one including obama seems to know.

There will be a closed UN session latr on today,called by China. China might force anothr vote on the Sanctions. Will be interesting to see what China says later on today.

Ahh yes actually giving credence to Russia talking about what is right and wrong As if Russia has not ever committed aggressive acts against another country or even its own people. The Arab league must have thought that their people wouldn't notice how busy they have been. It's not like Saudi Arabia has troops in another country right now is it What countries would lose money supplying Libya with weapons if this continues?
