Obama says the US has strategic interests in Libya....then again he says they are interested in protecting civilians..what a contradiction!! Hope is not a strategy

Given, USA is in a position to engage the whole world n probably bring it to its knees. Its the one n only SUPERPOWER in the world. In cohorts with UK n France, It becomes the absolute military powerhouse. This national pwr is controlled not by Obama, but a small cabal of families that literally own the American Govt. Money is their only language, n war is money. Oil is also money (Libya allegedly has the cleanest oil, with the largest deposits in africa-??) Absolute power corrupts absolutely. TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

@simo, maybe we should blame the love for money not power. At the end of the equation is money, money, money...

Was watching ABC's Christina Amanpour asking a panel on their thoughts on the 'invasion'. Their thinking was Yemen represents more of a threat to the US than Libya in terms of terrorism, yet US was focusing on Libya thereby raising more questions to the logic behind the attacks yet both countries' governments were turning on their people.

I don't believe in this line that most are trying to sell here between the west and the rest of the world.
Gaddafi is a sick man who has no business running a Kiosk, let alone controling a country, whatever reasons the West give for invading Libya are fine by me. "The purpose of bureaucracy is to compensate for incompetence and lack of discipline." James Collins

Believe me, the west has just pushed him to do exactly that. The west can get away with attacking his troops but not civilians. Gadaffi will DEFINITELY arm the civilians. The west will have no balls to bomb them.
And believe me, Gadaffi will fight till he's dead, captured or the west retreats. Given that he is now an outcast, he has no where to go! I hope the west has concrete plans and plan Bs and Cs
There used to be this guy called Saddam who even had missiles etc...they found him in a hole eating kit kat chocolates and drinking diet coke... Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

Libya's oil may be the cleanest, the last time I checked it only represented 3% of the world supply!!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

Simon , what do you do with someone has decided to kill his own people.Wait for genocide ? Obama took the right decision.Gaddafi and his sons are sick people.
His end is nigh.The self proclaimed king of kings of Africa also interpreted as the Dictator of Dictators of Africa.I have no pity for him.I just pity the innocent women and children of Libya as the two bulls fight.But it's the price to pay for a better free Libya.
I think now we need to be told the truth about the Grand regency hotel saga. punda amecheka

@Obi, you don't have to believe the reasons but they are there. The Western media is asking the very same reasons. BBC, ABC, CNN, you name it. The Western governments keep saying they are not targeting Gaddafi, just trying to stop him from turning against his people, but so are Yemen and Bahrain. So what's the logic behind it?
Gaddafi may not be fit to run the country, but so is Al Bashir (Darfur). Yet the US never invaded Sudan. Another Iraq may be looming due to an unnecessary war. Luck is when Preparation meets Opportunity. ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca

"Another Iraq" is not necessarily a bad thing, Iraq is way better off now than it was under Saddam, and will only get better. The violence playing out now and probably in future is simply because most of the people don't know any other way to relate as a result of life under Saddam.
