Man this whole warmonger crusader crap really pisses me off. Trying to argue that all the rebels in Libya are some how warlords is so immature and laughable its not funny. Yes some of the leaders have been in Al-Qaida, but others were in Gaddafi's own Army. They were proffesional soldiers who were ordered to kill innocent unarmed civilians.
As for us all eating up Fox news. Reality check the majority of us are intellectuals on this site, not many dumb enough to buy anything Fox or CNN reports. We get our news from Al-Jazeera and BBC or CBC. I also read Reuters and the Associated Press for my information. The world including China and Russia voted to enter Libya, it wasn't an oil grab it wasn't a Zionist plot to take over the middle east. It was a simple move to stop Gaddafi from butchering his own people.
As for this whole NATO should stay out of the middle east, well if the Middle East stayed out of NATO affairs maybe their wouldn't be an issue. Fact is this isn't the middle ages , we live in a global community and actions from countries effect the rest of the globe. The rest of the world cares about each others affairs and the lives of global citizens. If Gaddafi didn't start killing his citizens and instead bowed to democratic reform like Tunisia and Egypt then we wouldn't be in this mess. If Gaddafi's troops didn't attack western citizens and innocent civilians we would not be in this mess.
Also to say a dictator is a nescessary evil is really niave. Look at Iraq, a democratic Government is still able to maintain control and lead the country forward, without the dictator. Once Gaddafi is gone and democratic reform happens Libya will be a far better off country then it ever was.
Also before putting all the blame on NATO and the west notice China officially recognized the Rebel Government as the legitamit Libyan Government. That is China the country that flip flopped and supported Gaddafi, its communist China a country that rarely ever agrees with NATO. This is a global war not a NATO one, the whole world is behind NATO!
