Question is, what makes Libya important enough for NATO to mobilize itself, and begin attacking? You have to admit, NATO doesn't go on the offensive like this too often. Nobody is denying that Libyans need (and are deserving of) help, but why them specifically when there's loads of worst atrocities being committed all the time?
Its because Libya has been talking about throwing out the western oil companies and bringing in Russian and Chinese companies instead. The fact is that if the UN was so concerned about human rights abuses, then there are a dozen other places we should have gone into.
