  • desire to prevent Moammar Gaddafi’s air force from attacking civilians and was not designed to endorse the intense bombing and missile attacks
  • Al-Qaeda, which could be expected to oppose foreign intervention in an Arab country and embrace Gaddafi’s description of the Western campaign as a new crusade, made no immediate comment
  • This opens the way for foreign interventions in every Arab country. It brings us back to the days of occupation, colonization and partition
