Titanic99 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I'm trying to understand the implications of our decision to take part in a no-fly zone over Libya. Does this mean we are in yet another war, or what other status is appropriate to your military going into a foreign airspace and shooting at the forces of that land.

Loonball Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 It's a UN-mandated intervention to stop some wholesale murder inside a rogue state. Why dramatise it with silly comments like 'are we at war'? You know we aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scabbydog Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Which ones are they and why are they illegal? I would imagine this is one of them http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/3661134.stm The United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan has told the BBC the US-led invasion of Iraq was an illegal act that contravened the UN charter.

Nutronic Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 It's just this country telling others what to do. Which I believe will turn into War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scabbydog Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 So if it isn't a war, then what is it? Has anyone declared war on anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why dramatise it with silly comments like 'are we at war'? You know we aren't. Here's three definitions of "War", personally I can't see how the current position doesn't apply to the three examples.. 1.a conflict carried on by force of arms, as between nations or between parties within a nation; warfare, as by land, sea, or air. 2. a state or period of armed hostility or active military operations: The two nations were at war with each other. 3. a contest carried on by force of arms, as in a series of battles or campaigns: the War of 1812 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
