UN Backs Action Against Colonel Gaddafi

Posted by timothy on from the ronald-assange-julian-reagan dept.

chielk writes "The UN Security Council has backed a no-fly zone over Libya and 'all necessary measures' short of an invasion 'to protect civilians and civilian-populated areas.' The UK, France and Lebanon proposed the council resolution, with US support."

    US controls the UN, US backs dictator for many years until he turns, UN doesn't like dictator now.

    Makes sense.

    > Russia and China - which often oppose the use of force against a sovereign country as they believe it sets a dangerous precedent - abstained rather than using their power of veto as permanent members.

    That's a load of crap, Russia and China don't oppose use of force against a sovereign country.

    Just call it what it is, they are fucking evil governments, and they have sympathy towards other evil governments. And they don't want UN to turn against themselves one day.

    Yeah yeah, some euro-trash american-left will immediately come out and equate these countries with the evilness of USA. Go fuck yourselves.
