libya is complicated because while there are tribal divisions the fact is that the rebels have relatively light weapons almost entirely from members of the military who've gone over to their side and they are not in the main trained. so it's an assymetrical situation, a massacre in short. on ethical grounds, that isn't acceptable.
except, apparently, sometimes when it is.
why was there no clamor for a no-fly zone over gaza exactly?
i don't get it. i mean, if the arguments about military power being used on civilians is a real argument.
and i kind of support what the international community--whatever that really means---is doing to stop gadhafi.
but still...why was there not a no-fly zone imposed over gaza again?
