I'm sorry, but the UN operation is necessary, legal (the Security Council signed off on it, the pro-democracy movement comprises the vast majority of Libyans), and the right thing to do. In fact, this may be the only US foreign intervention since 1945 which is completely and totally justified -- the others have been horrible neocolonial wars. But this situation is the rare exception. There's a massive pro-democracy movement in Libya, and they're being slaughtered with weapons sold to a mad dictator by Europe, Russia and the former Soviet Union.

The UN is, for once, doing its job.
