Now either get some support for your declining faculties, f1, or stop being dishonest. Either way, stop gurning.

OK, so the UN have declared a no-fly zone and we, and others, are to enforce it. The US has laready fired cruise missiles at Colonel Gaddafi's forces.
Why?
Why are we and the UN being seen to support the rebels? Why aren't we helping Gaddafi, who is their leader, to retain power?
If I can get enough people behind me, can I expect the UN and the USA to come in and help me depose OUR government?

You have a vote. The Libyan people don't.

I'm sorry but can someone clarify something for me ?
Who are the opposition in Libiya, how many people were there out of the whole population and why did why they want to change the regime ?
Why did the west straight away took sides with the opposition and not Kadafi ?
Why after accusing Kadafi of murdering a few hundred protesters as the breaking point for the relationship between Libiya and the world, the west is now bombing Libiya which usually kills thousands by friendly fire alone ?

And I don't think the politicians do themselves any favours by saying they are not seeking "Regime Change" as the whole world knows that is exacly what they want. I suppose it's a throwback to the row about getting rid of Saddam.

The Arab league ? You mean the Iraq ( policed by US ), Egypt ( recently overturned ) and Saudi's ( US partners and biggest oil supplier since the ancient times ), i wonder what do they want..

I thought you were taking the **** with your post. But clearly not and that is worrying.
Does your logic lead you to conclude that we let that nice Mr Mugabe down as a leader of a nation that were clearly unhappy - the one's that stayed alive or avoided torture or a dash of starvation that is?

This may seem simplistic but why cannot the Arab League of Nations enforce a no fly zone.
For a start Libya is a member and surely they should abide by what the league votes on and secondly the Arab League of Nations has the Aircraft, missile systems and the infrastructure in place to police this themselves (sold to them by the west including the UK and US) so why do they not do so + some of the league border Libya so easy to enforce?
I do not get it why us, why the UK yet again when the Arab League, instead of asking should have just got on with it with the backing of the UN, not the other way around...

Besides did the Egyptians not just kick out their pro-US president???
I love the way now that the usual anti-west/leftist types are now all pro-Gadaffi?!
So here's your chance to defend Gadaffi. Go for it!

Iraq, Egypt and the Saudis are not the sum total of the Arab league.
