First off, the usa isnt the only one participating, second it didnt come up with this operation, and lastly, they didnt even fire the first missle. France was in there first.
The arab league ASKED the UN to intervene. pretty sure that usa hasnt even had the biggest role yet.
people need to read more.

well of courser there is, prohibition, that was for the greater good, I mean what's in if for the people that want to keep you off drug other than doing it for your own good, and body scanners at airports, that's for the greater good too right, same with all those TSA patdowns
the greater good is no more than one imposing their will on others so there is no greater good

Putting to dead those who oppose you Will take control, no matter the cost Bodies are mounting the carnage around you At the last count, 10.000 have died
Taken by force Controlled by fear Death squad police of the right Must stamp out subversion Dissention, unrest Those who oppose will meet death
Automatic weapons in hand You say you're what the police want Why must you kill them to secure their vote Death squad escort them to the polls
Puppet regime with you at the head You've rid them of a communist threat Your brand of "democracy" is now in control
fits the subject matter.

I really hope this situation gives democrats and liberals the chance to see that both parties practically have the same foreign policy of war mongering... all in the name of humanity.

I'm glad the world is coming together to end shit like that. The world should act as one when people are being murdered like that. Anyone who thinks stopping that was bad has no soul whatsoever. Who the fuck cares why or how it happened? It was happening and we stopped it. We stopped that psychopath from killing people. That's a good thing people.

If we were to go to war in any African country it should have been the ivory coast.
There the president lost an election and refuses to let go of power. He has bombed his own people on the coast with artillery and planes. Hired mercenaries and as far as we know killed more people there then in Libya.
If we are going to police the world why not start off in a country thats already some what of a democracy and its very clear the people want someone else in power.
We have no business helping rebels we know very little about overthrow a government.
We did that in the 80's and look where that left us. .
War is a slippery sloop.
6 country's pretty much voted no and the Arab league has already said the "no fly zone" has gone to far.
But clearly this is what everyone wants yep kill em all and spend millions.
each cruise missile cost 500k- 1.1 million fired 125 so far

Yes the air strikes will work to protect the civilians just like it did in Kosovo. but wait didnt the worst part of the genocide occur after we started bombing.
We must protect them all .
No doubt that he is bat shit insane and a horrible guy but so was saddam and we should have never gone to war with him either.
War cost billions of dollars and should only be used in defense or if we are about to be attacked.
What threat did Libya pose to the west? This will only destabilize the region further and give the Islamist yet more recruiting propaganda and maybe a safe haven.
If the people want a change of government in there own country it should be there responsibility's alone and not the world community.

At what point do you not just sit back and watch these guys murder their populations for their own personal gain? Do we wait until they have become a super power and are a threat to us?

They could've voted against it, and instead decided to abstain. I don't think that necessarily translates into "bullshit."
