Just found this - Obama’s Libya Inaction Risks Missing Opening: Lisa Anderson By Lisa Anderson - Mar 13, 2011 7:00 PM ET Bloomberg The Obama administration’s hesitation is difficult to fathom as the Libyan government tries to crush a rebellion sparked by the popular uprisings against authoritarian regimes in Tunisia and Egypt. Unlike the rulers in Tunisia and Egypt, Muammar Qaddafi has long been a provocative and exasperating opponent of U.S. interests -- the U.S. didn’t even have an ambassador in Tripoli from 1979 until 2008. The recent revival of diplomatic relations was accompanied by modest intelligence cooperation as the Libyan and U.S. governments made common cause against al-Qaeda, but the U.S. has little to lose in far more assertive support for the Libyan rebellion. And President Barack Obama has much to gain in helping coordinate multilateral support for it. bloomberg.com There is, therefore, little to be gained in waiting to see how the fighting turns out: a long, drawn-out and well-televised bloodbath as the two sides fight to the finish would be humiliating to the entire international community, not least the U.S. president, who has made himself one of world’s most eloquent advocates of freedom, democracy and human rights. bloomberg.com bloomberg.com
