The UN decided to look upon Libya as another "Arab Spring" popular uprising being put down by force. However was it? Unlike Egypt, there was insufficient leverage in the short term on the country's economy or it's armed forces to stop the threat of force or the actual fighting in Libya once it began.
Will Libya's armed forces decide to withdraw, be allowed to or to lay down their arms or switch sides under the impact of stand off and limited armed intervention? If not it could well be stalemate with civilians still under threat but now from both sides.
Belgrano? We were at war and as for Syria don't even go there! Not unless you think conflict throughout the Middle East is a good idea!
