    Libya

    Considering but unlikely. The coalition only launched an air campaign to maintain air superiority against Gadaffi's military, any ground operations are supposed to be dealt by the rebels. We're only there to ensure Gadaffi isn't committing atrocities against his own people. He used his air force to attack the rebels and protesting civilians; that's what prompted international intervention (France was already involved before this point).

     

    And I agree on the handover. The US is the largest contributor machine and manpower-wise, NATO needs to come up with enough forces to compensate before the US can back off.

     

     

    on the troops subject, im only reporting what BBC news have been saying, as well as The House of Commons' debates.

    Come to think of it, I think the air campaign is the only thing foreign nations are willing to do. A ground intervention with foreign troops is far too risky to use. Libya is known to have chemical and biological weapons since the 80's and I'm sure Gadaffi is not afraid to use them.

     

     

     

     

    Britain is considering sending troops in if the air campaign is ineffective...

    The West should not interfere too much, the rebels have chosen to fight, we can only help them to a certain extent. Its a fine balance between doing too little or too much. The West can't go round the world fighting peoples battles for them, where will it all end ???

     

     

    thats precisely my point.

    The rebels are equipped by the French, the only thing they don't have are aircraft and proper military training as an organization. They've lost a few battles because of poor organization and training, many just scatter upon first contact with government forces.

     

     

     

     

    A good dictator doesn't necessarily mean good leader. He's kept his people under his thumb so much so that the people are afraid to do anything about it. Look at Saddam Insane, he held on to power for a good 20 or so years because he kidnapped, tortured and killed anyone who opposed him. Same goes with Josif Stalin, he even killed his own wife.

     

    Exactly, that is why they need our help... but if we fight their battles and they get another dictator then they will be reliant on us to aid them.

     

     

     

     

     

    You still have to be able to co-ordinate a country, so he has to be slightly sane...
