Could you really stomach going on your holidays to Malta knowing that just over 100 miles
Many people did just that.
We have the chance to crack on and do whats right for the World
Time would have done it for us, as it will to all of us.
The key issue here is the protection of the Civilians his troops are/were killing via a NFZ. Like all battle plans it didn't survive first contact with the enemy, and now he isn't killing from the air, but from the ground. Thus we were cleaver enough to get a clause 'all necessary measures' in order for us to attack ground targets too.
but if we are successful in halting Gaddafi's ground forces, then what? If the rebels attack (as they surely will), and Gaddafis forces retaliate what happens then? Do we allow the rebels to kill other Libyans and remove Gaddafi from power? In which case did we not aid the removal of the leader by our resolution?
What if there's stalemate?
can't see an end here apart from a flipping mess. But maybe I'm wrong.
