The civil war in Libya should be left to Libyans. No matter how bad it may look from the outside, we should not interfere. This is the destiny the Libyans need to resolve themselves. I just hope the west will keep their nose out of this.

This guy, from day one, made up his mind to use total brute force to quell the democracy movement. He will not stop at anything. He will bomb his own people from the air. He will send in troops to recapture lost cities. He will kill. In the thousands.
The world does not have the option to wait and watch. Sending in troops would be a mistake. But not enforcing a no fly zone is to offer the Libyan people to the butcher on a plate. To stand by and do nothing is wrong.
If Gaddafi succeeds that is going to cost us in terms of momentum. Then we might not see uprisings in other countries that deserve them. But if Gaddafi is defeated in Libya, the momentum will go all the way to China, to Russia. And let's face it, Russia is no democracy either.
Summer could see action in China, in Russia. But not if we let the momentum break now in Libya. Democracy has to see victory in Libya.
