    We are trying to reach an agreement that removes a war criminal from power.

    We will reach an agreement between the NTC and the the remaining members of Gaddafi's government that aren't wanted for war crimes.

    When NATO kills civilians (Even in the recent bombing that killed 14 in a market with no military population in a town) it is collateral damage, but when Gaddafi kills civilians that are near armed rebels he is a war criminal. That is how this world works Demondaze.

    No killing and arresting innocent people for nothing is. Gaddafi would arrest and kill people who speak out against his government.

    Yes I know.

    Accept what? The ordinance being dropped on them from the air? WELL NO SHIT.

    Honestly It's kinda funny how a lot of you guys think that when this is over, the people who live in the ruins that once were Tripoli are going to be THRILLED with their new pro-NATO government.

    No the treaties that have have been drafted by both parties the rebels and Gaddafi. Also you think they are just going to leave the capital with everything destroyed no they are going o fix it.

    Bombing a city is not the same thing as knocking over someone's legos. You can't just say "We're sorry! Here let us fix it.".
    And don't get me wrong. Someone will fix it (For a price.), but don't expect the people affected to have a vary positive opinion of us. (Not like they really ever did in the first place.)

    How does bombing university's, buses, houses and markets in city's with no military population make the people like NATO?
    http://www.presstv.ir/detail/186713.html
    (Coming from an anti-Gaddafi news source might I add, also they only have accounted for those that died from the immediate strike. Not the six that died after.

    Thats like saying America is a good nation for building schools and hospitals in Afghanistan after they blew them all up plus tens of thousands of civilians on the side.


    And also, how does using depleted Uranium help the population too? Nothing like America's good old fashion years of birth defects and cancer that they are famous for leaving behind (See Japan, Vietnam, Afghanistan)

    This entire thing has turned into a massive clusterfuck. This is a civil war, and I'm not a big fan of Gaddafi, but NATO has no place in this.

    Also, if America does not get away with breaking international law, how did they get away with using Agent Orange and Blue on Vietnamese farms, forests and villages?

    Yes they did. And besides, CHEMICAL WARFARE IS ILLEGAL. Regardless if they did not know the side effects (which they did) Chemical warfare was still illegal.

    It's not about numbers, a trained and equipped force will destroy a rebel force, even in superior numbers. Even if the entire nation rebelled against Gadafi, they wouldn't know what to do against basic infantry tactics, or when they started using armor and indirect fire measures.

    Theres a difference between practice makes perfect and years of millitary training.

    Also during WW2 The USSR's policy that won the war for the ally was mass ground and artillery. Not planes.
