A very important question.
The UN has never really cared up to now about genocide, beyond rhetoric, so why is Libya different?
Nothing to do with Democracy or oil as there are many one party States supplying oil to the world and no one really cares enough to send in war planes.
Nothing to do with "Standing by and letting a ruler show no mercy to protesters."
Does the UN see the ME developing into a Democratic region that will be more compliant to Western needs?
Or is that a pipe dream. What happens if it becomes more like Iran or is run by an organisation like the Hezbollah. Democratically elected?
The end game is anyones guess.
