We've just picked a side on a civil war then, as long as we can identify them as it continues/worsens?

That could well be a future problem and going much further forward we need to watch what we attack.

Another factor you can't forget in all this is the suppression of his people, how many of those 'pro gaddafi' supporters are actually supporters and how many are just afraid of the regime.

I suspect he has enough support just, at least for now.

Otherwise he would have been disposed by now.

Russia, however, has said there have been such casualties and called on the US, UK and France to halt the "indiscriminate use of force". A foreign ministry spokesman said non-military targets had been hit in Tripoli and three other cities.

Hmm.
 
What if Gaddafi goes, a new leader comes in and harmony ensues in Libya, but Libyan policy then does not suit the western agenda?

In real terms we are supporting the rebels with no real idea of the outcome. Now I wonder if there have been any clandestine meetings?
 
None of this surprises me. Under the banner of "protecting the people" because they would never have been able to force the resolution for all out regime change, the complicit war criminals force another regime change. Great. Thanks guys, forever will I be looking over my shoulder.

He means we're creating terrorists who kill our civilians as revenge for what our governments are doing in their countries, if China were bombing the crap out of us a few of our people would undoubtedly go over there and commit acts of "terror", then China would just tell their people that it's because we hate their communism or some rubbish. ;)

Sky have just reported the Gaddafi building that was stacked was in fact a command and control structure.

Surely any building that the leader of the country can enter is a building where he can command from!
 
Defence Secretary Liam Fox refused to rule out a mission to assassinate Colonel Gaddafi.

It would probably be a good idea to send a SAS unit to try and see if they can take him out, or at least provide his location for a tactical strike. It would greatly weaken or eradicate any major resistance on the ground so Allied forces can help clean the mess up.
