By saying people should fight foreign intervention, you are basically supporting Kaddafi. The whole foreign intervention thing is to support the rebels that fight Kaddafi.

amirak, I pray that one day you and your people do not need the assistance of foreign military to protect and defend you.

The Canadian CF-18 are being sent to protect the Libyan people from being bombed by their own fighter pilots who still obey Kadafi orders.

Ah yes, France is known as an established exporter of freedom and peace. They have been doing their best to liberate Africa since  Napoleon. The only question that remains: Who will liberate Africa from France?

Who would believe France is bombing Libya for the benefit of Libyans when they hate the guts of any Arab in their country.

Did I say France?  Canadians were asked to assiste.  The CF-18 are to intercept Libyan fighter planes that are bombing there own people.

I was not actually replying to your post. Today, it is in the news that the French jets are on a bombing mission in Libya.

your kiding vineyard? I did not get that news, they had said they were there to intercept fighter planes not bomb Libya.  Looks like Sarcozy is doing some double talk again.

I don´t know how this is being reported in the international media but the online version of daily Hurriyet claims the French jets are sent on a mission to bomb Libyan tanks. The US, the UK will get directly involved and Italy will aid by opening its bases.

This is an act of despotism. No political or economic measures have been tried, no negotiation has been carried out.

Oh nooooooooo..........what a disaster! It seems France is leading in this, they did the first strikes.

"Gates made it clear that he thought the no-fly zone would be a mistake, warning that anyone who thought it would be a cost-free exercise was mistaken, and would require bombing Libyan air defences. "Let´s just call a spade a spade," he said. "A no-fly zone begins with an attack on Libya."

Earlier, speaking at the West Point military academy, he suggested that it would be crazy for a president to embark on another war in the Middle East or central Asia, and at a Nato summit in Brussels last week he succeeded in blocking any move towards a no-fly zone. His concern was that no-fly zones alone could not prevent the massacre of civilian populations, citing Saddam Hussein´s slaughter of Shias in southern Iraq after the first Gulf war."

I want to know what makes Libya so special that they deserve intervention and other countries don´t? Bahrain is also bloody, when will they intervene there? Isn´t that a double standard?

I don´t think the reaction of the West is about" caring for the people". It is their own "wealth interests" that drive them against the dictators. 

Now the West sees that there is no more they can do to save the dictators in power for their own benefit, they would like to get rid of them. 

Kaddafi didn´t become a dictator in one day. He has been there for over than 40 years. Our hypocritical Western Countries played three monkeys till the people of Libya raised against him. Didn´t they make business deals with him and his sons for long, didn´t they have his bank accounts without asking where the money comes from? Do you remember the Lockerbie bombing in 1988? Didn´t so-called democracy champion Western Countries tolerate him for the sake of cheap oil? 

A funny sidenote: Kaddafi´s son claims Libya sponsored Sarkozy´s 2007 electoral campaign and says, "give us back our money".

I also want to know what makes Israel so special that they did not deserve intervention when they were bombing civilians in Palestine and Lebonan. The double standards were always there. I hope these freedom fighters from US and their companions do not support Libyans as they did support Iraqians and Afghanis...
