Unless we have definite intel re Libya’s SAMs, it’s what amounts to a proving ground for the Russians/Chinese against western military capabilities. I just hope we don’t have another Francis Gary Powers circus if one of those Libyan/Russian missile operators happens to get lucky. Or worse another Blackhawk Down situation because the UN doesn’t have the stomach to deal with public losses.

We have no business sticking our noses into an Arab civil war.

And "we must help the innocent Libyans against their cruel oppressors" rings hollow after all our years of inaction in Sudan when the southern Christians were being enslaved and killed.

Exactly.
Btw while we are talking the list is getting longer.
Now it´s France, UK, US, Canada, Norway, Denmark, Spain (of course to be contined) who want to commit military.
Has the “western” world gone totally insane?
WE ARE BROKE! We allready fight endless wars in the ME and now we want to start an other one?
And for what again?
Because some muslims slaughter some other muslims for controll of the oil fields?
btw. Who tells us that the rebels are better then gadaffi?
Whats next do we invade Zimbabwe too, How about sudan...? (because the list is endless).
