Civil War in Libya

[HoreTore]

Defending civilians with airstrikes and missles is a really good way to kill the civilians you are defending. Boots on ground is how you defend civilians. Have we learned nothing of the last 20 years?

It's what we have learned these last two decades, in afghanistan and in iraq, that makes the civillian populations all over the world fearful of US "boots on ground". The civillian population in Libya wants airstrikes, but they have made it pretty damned clear that they don't want american troops involved on the ground.
