Civil War in Libya

[gaelic cowboy]

Restore and maintain security... Erm, first off, how was security breached and secondly how did this attack in Afghanistan help restore it?

Because this thread has wandered into a why were/are the USA in Afghanistan debate we can see clearly after 9/11 it was breached by a Non-State actor in league with a Nominal State so article 5 was invoked and therefore action beyond European and American shores was/is allowed.
