US Tomahawk Missile Attacks On Libya

America and its allies took their first shots at Moammar Khadafy Saturday after the Libyan dictator defied his own cease-fire. United State forces and planes will take part in the operation, called "Odyssey Dawn," that will mainly target air defenses around the Libyan cities of Tripoli and Misrata.

Libya New Protest

At least 1,000 people protesting against the rule of Muammar Gaddafi have taken to the streets of Tripoli, the Libyan capital, raising fears of fresh conflict between anti-government protesters and loyalist forces.

Libyan Revolt 2011 uprising has wounded 4000 people and 640 dead. Libya's dubious human-rights credentials even before Moammar Gadhafi's bloody crackdown are inferior. A measure of how bad violence has gotten inside Libya, look to the borders, where tens of thousands have already fled.

The Libyan government said that it was not responsible for the safety of these journalists. Unlike Egypt and Tunisia, the big concern in Libya is whether there will be a competent caretaker government after Qaddafi.

No matter how many times we warn that dictators will do what they must to stay in power. President Obama comments on the violence in Libya reaffirms American commitment to Libya.
