Depends how it is executed. Nobody is talking about an invasion here. If it brings about regime change in such a way as to be a purely Libyan matter, then fine — let them get on with it.

:s ailor: Winning!

Requested by and working in conjunction with the League of Arab Nations, the UN resolution will hopefully work.

The wording has been beefed up so that forces can be proactive in protecting civilians and may well act as a catalyst to renew efforts against Gidaffi.

Amazing what happens when democracy, diplomacy and due process and Law is followed.

Something I was trying to beat into the thick heads of my fellow Americans on this thread. Obama said MG won't appreciate anything short of a stiff punch in the nose!

Good point. MG has had his assets frozen. I'm sure he has other liquid assets. As I doubt these freakin' mercenaries are going to take a check going into battle against the best part of Western Europe and the "Great Satan" aka USA :s ailor:
Canada has contributed 12 F18’s Even Norway wants in on the beat-down!

It would be quite surprising if he hasn't amassed some physical cash or gold for a rainy day - I doubt we've seen the end of the guerillas yet, unless they decide that they don't want to stick around and risk a bombing.

Libya's government is declaring an immediate ceasefire, hours after a UN Security Council resolution backed a no-fly zone over the country.

Well there you have it. The greatest President of all time has prevailed. One giant step for the New World Order. We are out of the war business and that is a good thing.
