David Pugliese does a very good job here of summarising what just happened in Libya.


NATO aircraft hammered the once prosperous Sirte into the ground. Rebel forces also bombarded the city with artillery and rockets, sparking criticism about indiscriminate shelling. But those among the rebel forces had little sympathy; they saw the civilians in Sirte as Gadhafi supporters.

Sirte soon took on an appearance similar to the bombed cities of the Second World War.

Brig.-Gen. Joyce told the Citizen the air attacks on Bani Walid and Sirte were necessary since pro-Gadhafi snipers were hiding in the rubble, targeting civilians.

You would have preferred that Khaddafi had remained in power? So long as he was doing the torture you were OK with that.

That said I think it's now evident that Libya needs UN peacekeepers. We shouldn't have left them to their own devices.
