About Lybia

[nadinbrzezinski]

1.- The rebels asked for the NFZ for quite a while.

2.- The Arab League asked for it

3.- Yes it could conceivably be under the UN genocide convention.

4.- There is oil.

5.- The truth is the first casualty of war.

6.- While there are very valid reasons for this... see humanitarian law, request for intervention et al... I am a world class cynic at this point...

And yes I aprove a Just War (Kosovo) but I will hold my opinion on whether this is fully one... even if see points one, two and three. See France and her interests in this, as well as Italy...

That said if 1, 2, and 3 are the real reasons... (pass me a cynic hat) then yes I would have to support it... but number four and five give me pause.

As I said, the cynic in me... and if this stops the killing... well that will be good, since we do have honest to goodness humanitarian war violations ongoing... so do we as well in places like Bahrain but that is another post.
