Before all else, I must say I agree with candidate Obama's words:
"The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation." -Sen. Barack Obama, December 20, 2007
Which is a complete contradiction with his actions (well, what isnt? He even won an award for transparency... behind closed doors...).
No, they gave responsibility to NATO (Obama's Own Words)

And who is in and is the main military force in NATO? It may sound like it makes a difference, but it doesnt make a difference at all. Looks like "responsibility" is still on us.
If it was world wide, then why are we ignoring the injustices in Saudi Arabia and other countries? Why only put so much attention Libya?
Second, answering a call for help is all fine and dandy, but should we be answering a call from Al-Qaeda and Al-Qaeda supporters?
Should we really be supporting those that support the murders that killed 3000 Americans on 9/11? As I recall, it is treason to provide aid and comfort to the enemies of America.
Then to finish for now, I will allow a Former CIA Analyst to break down the war for you.

Quote:Mr al-Hasidi insisted his fighters "are patriots and good Muslims, not terrorists," but added that the "members of al-Qaeda are also good Muslims and are fighting against the invader".http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnew...links.html
Even though the LIFG is not part of the al-Qaeda organisation, the United States military's West Point academy has said the two share an "increasingly co-operative relationship". In 2007, documents captured by allied forces from the town of Sinjar, showed LIFG emmbers made up the second-largest cohort of foreign fighters in Iraq, after Saudi Arabia.
