Rupert_Baehr Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Perhaps you might consider sending some politicians to help the Libyans govern their country when the fighting has died down a bit? They will need experienced politicians. I'm sure they'd be queueing up to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with Western intervention is no matter who leads the country they'll be suspiciously regarded as puppets. Only time will tell if they are or not.

Harleyman Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 They haven't "chosen" any new leaders. The UN mandate permits NATO to enforce a no fly zone and that's it. There is no agenda to "pick" new leaders and at this point in time even the rebels themselves more than likely dont have any clear idea who among them could be a potential leader if, and assuming that Ghadaffi disappears. There may well be long drawn out conflicts anyway if the rebels cannot seize Tripoli. They seem lik a bit of a rag tag mob. The passion is there but they're lightly armed whereas Ghadaffi still has tanks and heavy artillery. NATO warplanes have the mission " only to protect the lives of civilians" which means destroying Libyan military ground weapons that are being used offensively against civilians but there is nothing in the mission that says that they have to aid the rebels in seizing Tripoli and toppling Ghadaffi. Western leaders seem to be thinking " we hope he goes but we dont want to be seen as actively participating in actual regime change" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staninoodle Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Lets see if the uk supports the arab league and germany in a ceasefire tomorrow.
