3.) Iraq invasion was based on the US administration fabricating a link between al-Queda (sp) and Saddam, plus the fact Iraq had WMDs and was about to attack the US any minute. Both turned out to be completely false. Libya is because the Libyan military is murdering its own citizens THIS VERY MINUTE.

4.) For now at least, it's air strikes only, and a ground invasion hasn't happened (at least yet).

Not saying I agree with NATO going into Libya, but trying to compare that to Iraq is just fucking stupid.
