World Response to Libya is All Talk
After days of massacres in Libya by Muammar Gaddafi, president of Libya, and his forces, the world remains relatively silent. Peaceful protesters being bombed, by military planes, and shot on the streets of Libya isn't resulting in any substantial change in the world's behavior toward the Libyan government. Sure, there have been several verbal condemnations toward Gaddafi's actions, but that's going to result in nothing for the people who are being massacred on the streets of Tripoli, Libya's capital.
US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton said today that "all options are on the table", She also said that the country will either slide into civil war or become a democracy but a simple "no-fly zone" over Libya in order to stop Gaddafi from bombing his own people hasn't been implemented yet. They say "the time isn't right yet", when is the time right?
When Gaddafi uses chemical weapons on civilian cities? What's the casualty limit have to be before doing something? I don't understand how world powers can act like what Gaddafi is doing is no big deal.
The whole country of Libya has only 5 million people; keep Gaddafi in power for a few more months and we'll have a Libyan holocaust on our hands. Gaddafi needs to go and he needs to go now, and the world should be united on this issue, because if world powers can't agree on such a simple issue like this, then they won't be able to agree on anything. All our thoughts and prayers should be with the Libyan people in these difficult times.
