military action against Libya

America cant argue against the use of force given our broad use of force against radical Muslim terrorist.

Our use of force against radical Muslim terrorist needs to broaden.

But it is instructive that the French at least seem to be raising the possibility of something that appeared unthinkable just a few weeks ago - the prospect of Nato boots on the ground.

Such a decision could be crucial for Libya's future, but it will also be important for that of the Atlantic alliance itself.

Just as long as the US isn't involved in that mess.

Maybe you never noticed that the US runs NATO?

Mis- quoting me is a pretty low down slimy thing for you to do....

How can we convince Hezbollah, Hamas, and all the other millions of muslims around the world that violence is not the way to world peace?

The US, which is actively using military force to impose our will in three nations, is not in a position to make that argument.

Just how is the US imposing their will in three nations militarily?

Heck of a job Hillary!

You come across as a politician...fine words full of feelings but no substance...HOW do we achieve all these noble aims because they have been expressed since the dawn of time by others better at it than you....we need how, not what .

My winning bet is that our little pup Fido doesn't know the difference between a good Muslim and a radical
Muslim terrorist and that he would wet himself if he ever picked up the scent of a radical Muslim terrorist.

No one should feel certain, and religions and ideologies put certainty before facts...

Now, that's a mouthful worth a thousand words.

Frustration was growing among residents in Misrata, where Gadhafi’s troops have intensified their long siege of the city in recent days. The doctor sharply criticized NATO for failing to break the assault with its month-old campaign of airstrikes.

“We have not seen any protection of civilians,” the doctor said. “NATO airstrikes are not enough, and the proof is that there are civilians killed every day here,” he said.

The theme was echoed in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi, where spokesman Abdel-Hafidh Ghoga told a news conference: “There’s no more room for hesitation or for not standing with determination against what is happening in Misrata and other Libyan cities, because the destruction that Moammar Gadhafi is causing in Libyan cities is great and extensive.”
