    At no point does it give more blood on your hands if it turns out that an intervention made no difference in a certain area. That's a completely absurd statement to make. And that's ignoring that the ties to the government of the current torturers are vague at best, and that torture's position in a near-future Libya is largely unknown.

    I forgot nothing at all, you are setting up strawmen. I suggest that you read what you quoted again.

    But is not at all. What I am content about, is that a dictatorship has been toppled by a popular armed revolt, much thanks to NATO's help. That's mission success.

    Regarding massacres or not (and killing of civillians), one can make a case for them; but since this had nothing to do my decision to support the intervention, I cannot be bothered.
