| #5 Phil-b Dead wrong. Stop regurgitating leftist lies and Get your head out of your ass and reread the UN articles under which the Iraq invasion took place. |

| #4 The interactive map of Libya was enjoyable. So many names in history. Tobruk for example. The Aussies were not what the great Rommel expected. The tanks rolled in but the diggers attacked the infantry. Rommel regrouped and the diggers attacked again. With the air attack the diggers went underground. The news of modern warfare shows their tenacity and guile even today. |

| #3 And the Iraq War wasn't an invasion? There wasn't a UN nod for the Iraq War. But the US, etc went ahead anyway under the questionable WMD pretext. I am sure a similar pretext for a Libya intervention could be found were there the will to do it, but there isn't the will largely because of Iraq. |

| #2 phil, they are a sovereign nation. and any foreign intervention without the UN nod, it would be considered an invasion of the US and the west. |

| #1 The situation in Libya reminds me a lot of the situation in iraq immediately after the 1991 war. Right down to the calls for a no fly zone over most of the country. I'll note the irony of the Left and Arab world railing for years against the 2nd Iraq war have completely screwed any chance of an intervention in libya. |
