Coalition attack on Gadhafi's forces: How we got here
An international military coalition including France, the United States and Great Britain attacked Libyan air-defense and other military targets Saturday night in an operation that eventually will include enforcing a no-fly zone.
Libyan rebels had called on international action to help them stave off assaults by Libyan government forces on their positions in Benghazi and other enclaves. The coalition's intervention in Libya's civil war comes two days after the U.N. Security Council passed a resolution authorizing the use of force, including a no-fly zone, to "protect civilians and civilian populated areas" from government attack.
Here is a look at how the situation got to this point, and what the major players are saying and doing.
THE START OF THE CONFLICT
Libya's civil war began last month, following protests that coincided with a larger wave of demonstrations in North Africa and the Middle East against governments there.

I'm proud of my country, this is what I think America is about. I'm sad it had to come to bombs, but when the situation demands I'm proud that my country and our allies are willing to assist and protect people fighting for their freedom.
Such is to be expected from somebody like you with your obvious limitations!!! You make me want to puke!!!
@fakenutt.. i wish we had a leader with some guts that would just start bombing other countries randomly..
No doubt. And finally, the Europeans are playing a lead role. I'm proud of them, too. Maybe they'll teach us what we keep doing wrong.. I bet the French won't build bases their...
I guarantee that you can multiply the number of people gaddafi killed by 100x and you wont even touch the number of people the U.N and the U.S. has murdered in the last 10 years world wide !!!
Thank you,jon lok. Nothing could be closer to the truth!!! The right-wing thugs in Washington are the true butchers on the world scene along with their NATO henchmen.

@Jazz7: Hey, stop talking to personny. Question. If you've been dating someone for over 2 years, and he shows you a decapitated head from his Black Berry (bestgore.com). Would you go balistic and get mad at him?
OOO, UMMMM , I would probably be GONE , that's a little out there for me. Till next time
Gotta go Jazz7, till next time bye.
It's funny how we went to war back in 1941 to rid the world of an Axis of Evil and we did. Now those three nations have been replaced by the U.S.,Great Britain and France. Even more ironic is that we're currently following the very same policies with the same amount of death and destruction as they did. How revolting!!!
@Cesar of 8:53: They have counseling for people like you.
Jazz?
