Action is not about Gaddafi’s crimes

IS IT just me or is there something logically amiss in destroying tanks and armoured vehicles on the ground to enforce a no-fly zone?

Can someone also explain why an innocent civilian needs protecting when he has an AK-47 in his hand or when he is manning a rocket launcher?

And what a piece of luck that 25 US warships, a British submarine and god only knows what French forces should be in place and within striking range, even before the UN Security Council met.

It is no longer about the wrong-doings of Colonel Gaddafi and his regime, it is now about 110 Tomahawk missiles, 40 bombs dropped from stealth aircraft and some 48 dead Libyans, with many more to come.

Let’s see if we can keep count of the number of wrongs it will take to make this all right.
