"the international community will impose consequences."
If these are anything like the "serious consequences" the UN unanimously imposed on Saddam, Gadhafi's home free.

That’s like the UN saying they’ll pass a more strongly-worded resolution.

I think our President has not yet seen Team America World Police:
Hans Blix: I’m sorry, but the UN must be firm with you. Let me in, or else.
Kim Jong Il: Or else what?
Hans Blix: Or else we will be very angry with you... and we will write you a letter, telling you how angry we are.

It looks like UN international law and 0bama have declared that nations are no longer allowed to defend themselves from rebels. Why are the demonstrators not referred to as insurgent?
If it ever gets bad enough here that The People will revolt will the UN and a coalition of nations step in and help 0bama retain control?

This puts me in an awful place. I always support our troops in harms way but we should stay out of this. I’d like to see Gaddafi prefail against these unknown “freedom fighters”. So I am rooting for him and not us unfortunately and just hope our boys stay out of the way.

We used to fight under the auspices of "preventing communism from taking over", then it became "preventing terrorists from taking over" -- all military actions never declared as "wars" approved by Congress, as required by our Constitution. In reality, each time and each action we diminished the idea of national sovereignty and most Americans didn't care as long as the sovereignty breached was not our own. But each time, we were really giving more power to the UN and NATO to determine and carry out our foreign policy. Just how long does anyone think it will be before all that offloaded power will be turned against us?
Gaddafi is a rotten bastard, but there is absolutely nothing in America's interest to get involved in Libya. We won't be thanked for it, we'll just get kicked in the head. And who knows? What might take the reins post Gaddafi could be worse than Gaddafi in terms of our national interests.
