OBVIOUSLY...
Why isn't the mass media asking simple questions like:
Why are there Libyan refugees when the people are the ones supposedly 'protesting'?
How can a peaceful group of Libyan citizens without weapons, training, and organization be engaged in an armed conflict with the Libyan military?
Why do peaceful 'protestors' request a no-fly zone?
Because in any Civil war situation, particularly at the beginning of one, the usual reaction from most people is "we dont want anything to do with this!"
How can a peaceful group of Libyan citizens without weapons, training, and organization be engaged in an armed conflict with the Libyan military?
For three reasons. Even though they have little military training, the Libyan army are not exactly elite troops themselves. Secondly the seem to have a good edge in numbers. And thirdly the rebels include a fair number of Libyan soldiers who have defected.
Why do peaceful 'protestors' request a no-fly zone?
Because Gaddafi has an air force and they do not. And in modern warfare control of the skies is THE most important factor in military success.
