The Libyan ruler Ghadafi is killing innocent people for no reason so the US French and British are at war with them.We are not sending people over there we are using bombs and stuff like that.Yesterday we hit a place with a bomb but Ghadafi wasnt in there.Ghadafi also said he promises us a long war , he makes it seem like he really doesnt care if his people or others die

In a desperate attempt to try and halt Libya 's advancing military and reverse the realities on the ground, where armed rebels are being crushed by pro - government forces , the UN Security Council on Thursday, in a 10- 0 vote ( with abstentions from Russia, China, India , Germany and Brazil ) , paved the way for military action against Libya , beyond the imposition of a no - fly zone .The resolution authorises UN member states ( read Western war hawks,currently teetering on the brink of financial ruin) to take "all necessary measures ... to protect civilians and civilian populated areas … while excluding a foreign occupation force of any form on any part of Libyan territory. " Using military force, from the air and the sea , with no ground troops to take and hold territory, will lead to large -scale loss of life and destruction of property. But the destruction of a country's physical infrastructure, especially in places like Libya which have huge oil reserves that can pay any bills, is the key objective of the Western war enterprise, as it guarantees them reconstruction jobs. That is why theynever intervene in poor countries. The imperialist Western war hawks salivating to plunder Libyan oil are framing their arguments in terms of what Catholic theology calls Just War Doctrine , arguing deceitfully that it is a moral imperative on the "international community" (read themselves) to institute a democracy and secure human rights by destroying Libya like they did Iraq. But can plunder , murder and general destruction by anybody serve a higher good ? The Libyan rebels lost it when they abandoned the script of non -violence that had worked so well in Tunisia and Egypt . Their decision to take up arms at the initial stage of the "popular " uprising , clothed in thousands of newly printed opposition flags that betray a manufactured spontaneity, can only mean one thing : that these externally anchored formations did critical numbers of dissatisfied Libyan

Nice job highlighting - now summarize what the article is about.

I would have to say that in Lybia right now, there is a pro-democracy movment going on. But, it could turn into the next world war 3. whats happening in iraq is more of a democracy movment because its one country trying to strenthen another country for the better. There are little fights but the main source of power is gone over there. While in Lybia is getting bombed and having some of the worlds largest protests right now. protests will lead to greater tensions between Israeli and Palestinian which will cause a bigger war to break out. But I also believe that it is not the USA's job to get into the middle of the fight right in the beggining. We were not a target and we could have sat backseat for awhile, or at least untill another country stepped in...so we didnt have to be the first ones..again.

The Article is saying that everyone is going into Libya without a full plan, and that the leaders have no idea when they will pull the troops.

This article shows key updates in the Libya situation, and shows how serious the military is and how tense the situation in Libya is.

This article shows the political side to what is going on in Libya, and that some Libyan officials agree with what is going on. They also stated the col. Gaddafi is a legitimate Target. The chief of defense said that anyone who is killing libyan citizens should be killed themselves. Including col. Gaddafi.

WASHINGTON - Moammar Gadhafi's regime in Libya came under a fierce attack from a U.S.-led coalition of warplanes, ships and submarines on Saturday. Libyan state TV quoted the armed forces command as saying 48 people have been killed and 150 wounded in the allied assault by U.S. and European forces. The report could not be independently confirmed. Libyan TV reported that most of the casualties are children.

Despite Obama's warning, Moammar Gaddafi defied to cease fire last night and attacked Benghazi, LIbya, the first city seized by rebels. "Where is France, where is NATO?" cried a 50-year-old woman in Benghazi, where a doctor said 27 people were killed Saturday. "It's too late."

Is article does a good job of showing the increasing violence and the weapons being used in this fight. The article shows how the tensions are being raised and that Gaddafi's son will not go down without a fight.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: No need for U.S. to be involved in Libya's mess Robert Kaye, Las Vegas Tuesday, March 22, 2011 | 2:03 a.m. Here we go again. The United States once again feels it has to get involved in the internal politics of another nation that poses no threat to us. How many more U.S. soldiers must get killed or scarred by getting involved in conflicts we have no need to be involved with? I am surprised to see the "peace" president get involved with this mess in Libya. It is time for the United States to focus on its own internal problems and only get involved in conflicts when it affects our national security. We are not the police of the world. I hope the "peace" president, who has had nothing but war during his term, is listening. Let the Libyans solve their own crisis.

This is a recent video made by a resident in Libya who opposes Gaddafi's ruling because he is with the large amounts of protesters.

What do you think there protesting for?

Showing that Libya is working toward a constitutional democracy, and other day by day updates.

- Libya's oil chief said Monday that production had been cut by around 50 percent, and argued it was "safe" for foreign oil workers to return after a mass exodus sparked by Moammar Qaddafi's increasingly violent campaign to retain control of the country.

-This might be part of the reason on why the gas prices are increasing because they produce 2 percent of the worlds oil.

Alright - so now, Brandon, you either need to highlight and summarize this article or delete the post.

Don't expect a quick ending in Libya.
