Hey now, NATO did this for humanitarian reasons, motivated only by the need to defend the oppressed as they fought valiantly for liberty and freedom!

 

Waste of money.

Details. Ghadaffi had worn out his welcome, now if the place doesn't explode in a decade of sectarian violence we can all pat ourselves on the back.

Without the details:

 

If we set a precedent that we don't like you and you're in our sphere of interest, we will come and burn your house down... What's the downside?

lol

The fat lady hasn't sung yet. But I really don't know how this is a waste of money, if we can get something other than a basket case regime outcome. If we only see a few dictatorships fall every generation then it won't be long before humanity as a whole may be liberated. And I call that ****ing awesome.

 

That liberation will certainly bring challenges, but ALL successes bring new challenges.

 

As an aside, I note that Gaddafi has been referring to the rebels as 'rats'. Which may have been an unfortunate choice of simile. Historically speaking.
