UK, France, and others preparing to attack Libya.

As far as I can tell, the allied forces are more interested in blowing stuff up than actually dealing with the Libyan disaster :/ If they want Gaddafi out, they would be going straight for him, not blowing up potentially useless targets. Yet again, another war entered in where the main objective isn't being acted upon :/

Well the ''Official'' objective is being acted on technically. However i believe like most that the final and main objective is to get rid of Gaddafi.

In this case it looks like tha man is going to step down. So hopefully bloodshed can be avoided here

This no-fly zone is outrageous. Firstly, when can the west finally just learn to stop being mediators in other places. Secondly, why be so selective- it is not happening only in Libya but other parts of the Middle-East as well. I also love how no one wanted to take the longer term blame so put it all on NATO. Especially the French annoy me, they started doing it even before it was approved. Where's the rush, more oil?!

If they wanted to help the rebels, there are so many other ways in doing so than implementing this.

The frenh have really annoyed me regarding this. Sarkozy is a disgusting man and he is goin to be thrown out in their next election, and this was a last gasp 'oh look at me our armed forxes owned Libya and we saves 1000000000 lives ploy. He wanted to make out that the French were 'leading the way' when in reality they werent. It was the US and UK.
