So the Arab League has asked <\/a>the UN Security Council to impose a “No Fly Zone” in Libya.\u00a0 This is a big deal.\u00a0 I didn’t see it coming.\u00a0 The UN hasn’t done much in regards to Libya so far due to the potential of a Russian veto on the Security Council.\u00a0 Russia has a traditional friendliness with the Arab world and was worried about a lack of regional support.\u00a0 The region is now calling for<\/em> some military intervention. <\/span><\/span><\/h6>\n
The Arab League is such a strange sounding name for an organization. It sounds like they should have a Hall of Justice Somewhere and Supertwins. I suppose the guy over on the right in this pic wouldn’t be there.<\/span><\/span><\/h6>\n

Me, I am anti-war.\u00a0 I am also anti-letting-brutal-dictators-wipe-out-their-own-people-when-we-could-help-stop-it.\u00a0 Consequently, I’m a bit torn as to whether or not I would support imposing a No-Fly zone in Libya.\u00a0 If it were a joint French-British-Italian operation (Libya is in their backyards), I’d be more in favor of it, but certainly not something America should try unilaterally. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t know.\u00a0 It’s a tough question for a peace-minded liberal like myself.\u00a0 What do you think?\u00a0 Should the international community keep Gaddafi’s air force (which gives them a BIG advantage in fighting the rebels) on the ground? <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
