To be honest , the Japan situation isn't what has me questioning decency.

Libya is, the protestors have been being slaughtered for a month now. The last protestor held city is under seige and Gaddafi says he will kill the rebelion. Rebel leaders predict up to 500K people could be killed as that is how many rebels their are.

Gaddafi has been killing hundreds by the day. But guess what the US who can stop the madness at any time. Wants to wait for the United Nations to give the approval. The whole Arab League has begged the US to intervene, British and US Forces are capable of placing a no-fly zone in right aways.

Now the issue goes before the UN and guess what China and Russia are opposing it. Further debate is to occur on Thursday and a possible dicision could be a week or two away. In the meantime Gaddafi's troops are attacking and say they will take Benghazi in a few days.

By the time the UN orders a no-fly zone the war will be over and thousands of innocent civilians will be dead. This reminds me of Rwanda, Canada kept its troops in Rwanda while the rest of the world just ditched them and sat by to watch the genocide. Then after the genocide the UN goes back and pretends to have tried to stop it.

Obama all those killed in Libya, died because of you. Their blood is on your hands. You could have done something to stop the genocide but you just sat by and let it happen. Infact shame on China and Russia too.

Don't any countries stand for justice and democracy anymore. Or are the US and her allies and the majority of the UN a bunch of cowards, according to the Bible if you could prevent something but do not due so, you are as guilty as those carrying out the crime. So Obama is no less guilty of Gaddafi's murders then Gaddafi himself.

At any time the US could step in and save countless lives, but they choose instead to watch as acts of genocide are carried out. The US knew Russia and China would allow acts of genocide and stop their no-fly zone. Yet they insisted on waiting for the UN to issue the order, one they knew would not happen.

Using your military suppremacy to invade a country and push out a man that is still supported by a good part of his country seems like decent? Justice and democracy don't mean you can just invade any country to push out a regime you don't like. The US might as well half the world including China, Russia and Saudi Arabia then.


Not every country the US disagrees with is commiting acts of genocide. Gaddafi may have the support of some of his people but he is slaughtering the opposition. The US should step in , in cases of genocide. Also the UN today approved the no-fly zone and the world is mobalizing fighters to carry it out.

Also this isn't an invasion, no boots on the ground and I never suggested the US should put boots on the ground (Without the UN approval) but actions should be taken to preserve human life and Gaddafi is killing innocent civilians. So yes I think the US is finally doing what it should have done weeks ago (No-Fly Zone) now hopefully the rebels will have some sort of chance.

Also the protestors in the Rebel Capital and else where face death if Gaddafi defeats the rebel force. Hopefully this no fly zone helps even the playing field a bit for the rebels!

I wouldn't call this fight for the control of Libya an act of genocide on Gaddafi's part. In a civil war both sides face death.

There are 120 millions of japanese struggling through an earthquake , a tsunami and what looks to be like a very bad nuclear incident and all I see the western ( american or european) journalists talk about is whether potential  harmfull radiations will reach California or France.

 

Don't they realize that for that level of radiation to cross the ocean the whole japan island would have to be fried and become an irradiated wasteland ???

For god sake, stop looking at your navel.....

You'll get10 times  more radiation sitting in California from doing a catscan than you will ever get from potential radiations clouds coming from Japan..........

I don't think your seeing the bigger picture. American and european are probably going to give Japan billions of dollars in aid and offer to help japan in any way they can. Journalist talk about anything,that makes big headlines and gives them big ratings.

I wouldn't call groups of armed men fighting each other a genocide, however reports have come out example today. I heard an interview with a protestor on BBC who said women and children who opposed Gaddafi were being lined up and shot.

When you start killing everyone who disagrees with you, whether they are armed or unarmed, women or children. That is an act of genocide. Reports coming in from Zawiya say that people are being slaughtered in the streets.

Gaddafi himself said that his forces would go door to door and slaughter the dogs (Opposition). Mass killings of everyone who is opposed to Gaddafi , especially those who are unarmed civilians is genocidal.
