TL;DR Version: President Barack Obama authorized limited military action against Libya Saturday, saying Moammar Gadhafi's continued assault on his own people left the U.S. and its international partners with no other choice. The Pentagon said 112 cruise missiles were launched from US and UK ships and subs, hitting 20 targets.

While i totally agree why we did it... it just looks bad on our resume that we bombed yet another "Brown" country. Though I guess it looks a little better when the UK helped us do it or at least more sophisticated. Chip Chip Cheerio *BOOM*!... Anyways in all seriousness discuss this i want to know others opinions.

LZ..that is the Rebels shooting their own plane down....

The UK already has a bad rep, I'd rathered it been lead by Arabians, since now Gaddafi can say its being attacked by the West and make up no end of propoganda. Like his claims that the bombs killed 48 civillians, no one can confirm it, some believe it just made it up so those loyal to him would hate the West more. I think the UK at times can be a bit of a hypocrite, we'll go and help Libya, but have left the Saudis to go and attack the Bahrani people

Personally, with the Arab League, a sizable Lybian force, and the united nations backing offensive action against the regime, I feel this had plenty of authority. I don't know the nuances of how it was carried out, but I really think anyone judging negatively on counties for responding to calls for help has a problem.

its not really bombing another "brown" country, rather it's bombing the main targets of a ruthless dictator who is killing his people who want freedom and those people happen to be of a "brown" country.
BTS we've seen this far too many times.
