I do think, at this point, military intervention should be under-taken but, in my opinion, there is an envelope closing for which such an action will cease to be more useful than its consequences, dire.
I'm not talking about a full-scale invasion but enough hurt to take the wind out of the military's operation which would be to impose a strategic defeat by air-power only. Beyond that, there will eventually be a requirement for having boots on the ground, in that country, with the UN and Arab countries playing a dominant role - not the U.S.
There's almost little point, however, in doing anything unless the requirement for U.N. assistance is secured and air attacks can begin quickly enough to stop the violence before the Libyan military achieves its objectives. |
Great points. To challenge my own pozt, in times like this, the US as sole superpower is always going to look bad, from over or under action...
Thank goodness the rest of the libyan gov isnt as crazy as its head
This shit is moving so quick!!
