    Is Western Action On Libya Justified?

    Is this another west sticking its fucking nose into another sovereign country affairs or there a strong enough justification for action?

    Be objective and give you opinion on whether you think this has been handled well or whether its just another stupid western adventure in an arab country.

                      Its a fucking disgrace.

                      French, British and American military forces made good Saturday on international warnings to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, using fighter jets and cruise missiles to hammer military positions.
                      Prime Minister David Cameron said late Saturday that British forces also are in action over Libya. "What we are doing is necessary, it is legal and it is right," he said. "I believe we should not stand aside while this dictator murders his own people."

                                              Yep, that is me. American and thick.


                                              But at least if I disagree with my countries policies I will start a thread about that, and comment as to why, instead of starting a thread bashing a country participating in the exact same military action as mine.

                                              That's just how us illiterate, overweight, ignorant, world police hicks roll.

                                                  Great another War to pay for!
                                                  We had to help the little guys with little guns against the gov military.
                                                  If the people want a true revolt, a good portion of the military would switch sides also.

                                                  Geezzz, who is going to protect now the little guy of the Libyian Gov, since we have bigger guns...

                                                      i assume by *west* you mean the civilized world. because the u.s. hadn't even voiced its policy on the crisis until after the u.n. moved on it.

                                                          The phony Facebook revolution wasn't working and the guy had the nerve to build a water system with excess he could ship to his neighbors.

                                                          So what was America and the Western Powers supposed to do?

                                                                      On one hand, they (the Libyan people) should not have picked a fight with Qudaffi if they were not willing to lose all and suffer mass casualties. They had to know going in that he was not going to go easy. So with this in mind, I have to say they picked the wrong dictator to try to overthrow and whatever he does is only a reaction to their action. Still, they continue to fight him.

                                                                      Then on the other hand, there is a point where enough is enough and the rebels are being slaughtered. They are outgunned. They need help, because of they don't get it, they are all going to die.

                                                                      As asshole of a thing as this is to say, I lean towards the old rule of, don't pick a fight with the biggest kid in school unless you're willing to get your ass kicked. This sets a poor example around the world, which is, TRY to overthrow your government, and if you lose and it gets too bloody, the rest of the world *may* help you.

Western action refers to a group of countries, largely comprised of western powers (of which the UK is one constituent), and it is their policy and actions we are debating - nothing more.

Don't like it, then force your government to get off their fucking asses and seriously develop other sources of energy.. Until that happens all us western nations are going to remain involved over there.

While there are issues about the situation that concern me from a humanitarian standpoint, the same can be said for other countries that we aren't doing a thing about.

While there are issues about the situation that concern me from a humanitarian standpoint, the same can be said for other countries that we aren't doing a thing about.

It is actually "illegal" under the United Nation's own charter. The ONLY reason for evoking CHAPTER VII articles, or engaging in an attack on a "UN member state" is for the restoration of international peace and security. Clearly in the case of Libya, the events there thus so far have at no time been a "threat to international peace or security."

Now the only remedy is an illegal (and precedent setting) military intervention.

The only way they were able to stand up to the military was to have military grade weapons. They are shooting down aircraft, and that's not something you do with an AK47. I'm seeing them armed with anti-craft trucks.

Just read about history of Libya on some encyclopedia. Now The West is going to destroy this country and help the very same religious extremists with which it fights in another countries... but yeah money talks, as always.

                                                                                                                                                                  The shit we're pulling the last decade is stuff that we never did before. I feel like history ain't gonna look that kindly in a couple of centuries at the only country to drop Atom bombs on civilian cities killing hundreds of thousand of women and children and the country that now occupies over 80 countries around the world with our military.

                                                                                                                                                                  I was raised to believe we were a "shining beacon of hope" to the rest of the world.
                                                                                                                                                                  Now I find myself living in a police state, being searched at airports, the govt. taking over everything, people wanting to build our own version of the Berlin Wall on the Mexican border, and our military attacking countries that didn't attack us or our allies and no declaration of war by Congress.

                                                                                                                                                                  Just don't feel "American" to me...at least not the way I was brought up to believe (which may have all been lies to indoctrinate us as kids)

This was a bad time for the entire world, very violent, with twenty million people dead; The value of a life wasn't much. In the case of the United States, we were attacked, and we fought back. We have this image that we are horrible for dropping the A Bomb, but the truth is carpet bombing in some cases did more damage.

                                                                                                                                                                          History is not going to look back too fondly on our generation either. Not because of our action, but because of our inaction. We pay an unproportionate amount of attention to the Middle East; The Middle East can become a glass parking lot over night and the US will still get it's oil form the same place it does now - Canada and Mexico. Yet at the same time we pay no attention to Africa. The entire continent is dieing, decades of civil war, AIDS, starvation, and a huge lack of government control, and our entire generation didn't give a fucking shit about it.

It is actually "illegal" under the United Nation's own charter. The ONLY reason for evoking CHAPTER VII articles, or engaging in an attack on a "UN member state" is for the restoration of international peace and security. Clearly in the case of Libya, the events there thus so far have at no time been a "threat to international peace or security."

                                                                                                                                                                                      This is all about the CIA/MI6 "destabilization program,? read: Color Revolution (to smash another sovereign state into pieces) not going as planned. Now the only remedy is an illegal (and precedent setting) military intervention.

This was a bad time for the entire world, very violent, with twenty million people dead; The value of a life wasn't much. In the case of the United States, we were attacked, and we fought back. We have this image that we are horrible for dropping the A Bomb, but the truth is carpet bombing in some cases did more damage.

                                                                                                                                                                                      History is not going to look back too fondly on our generation either. Not because of our action, but because of our inaction. We pay an unproportionate amount of attention to the Middle East; The Middle East can become a glass parking lot over night and the US will still get it's oil form the same place it does now - Canada and Mexico. Yet at the same time we pay no attention to Africa. The entire continent is dieing, decades of civil war, AIDS, starvation, and a huge lack of government control, and our entire generation didn't give a fucking shit about it.

Aside from some diehard liberals and philosophy majors, current history looks favorably on the US during WWII.
