What should the international community do about Libya?

Nothing, its not our problem. The Muslims brotherhood will be just another fascist dictatorship and the west will get it in the neck of we do or don't do anything.

The Muslim world has made it very clear that they do not want the west to interfere in muslim affairs, therefore we should do absolutely nothing.

Let the Muslims world sort out their own affairs. Let Pakistan, Bangladesh, Lebanon, Malaysia etc. help them out.

I personally could not give a crap about Libya, not one western soldier should die again in a Muslims country, and personally I do not want another playground for alquada or more homegrown Muslim terrorists looking for a reason to blow me or my family at a bus stop

just leave it alone

Not all Muslims are supporters of the Muslim Brother Hood you tool! Just like the majority of British people and supporters of the BNP and EDL. Stop being brainwashed by all the media.

To OP, its a really tough one. The UN should not send a military force in though, that should be avoided at all costs, but Gaddafi has to go. So the only thing i can think of is:

- Imposing a 'No Fly Zone' - wouldn't require a huge force at all to maintain it and despite Gaddafi being nuts i very much doubt he'd go against it.

- Financially backing the Freedom Fighters. They have trained themselves and are alot more organized then before, but just need the weaponry to compete with Gaddafi.

The Libyan people have been calling for help, the UN needs to respond. But, the UN should not get involved after Gaddafi has gone, no intervention after the job of removing Gaddafi is done.

I understand it can't just be as straight forward as that, but thats the direction I would head in...

I never stated that all Muslims were supporters of the Muslims brotherhood. I said that should the Muslims Brotherhood get into power, they will be nothingmore than another authoritarian dictatorship. Don't put words in my mouth

If Libya wants weapons and a no fly zone then go ask other countries for it.

The west should stay out of this one, it is no secret that the Muslim world despises the west, so they can do without our intervention.

And just shut up about the media brainwashing, that become a catchphrase for you people

Absolutely nothing.

Seriously... 'international community' is just a euphemism for NATO; and NATO is just a synonym for the USA.

No more interventionism ffs. America has destroyed enough countries.

we just need to leave Libya to Libya .. i hate how we always feel like we have to get involved in everything that happens in the East.
they need to fight it out, and when one side wins- they'll take charge and life will go on as normal.
if we intervene, nothing will change- the rebels will still hate Gadaffi and they wont fall under the regime.
live and let live ..

This is the epitome of the irrational anti-Americanism that will lead to the deaths of so many in Libya if nothing happens. Even when the defence secretary essentially dismisses requests for a no fly zone as silly (Something I hope will haunt him for the rest of his life) America is still on some Imperial crusade.

It is so obvious that the current administration would rather Gaddaffi run Libya than any potential democracy or returning monarchy. If it was down to individuals like yourself then the entire Muslim population of Bosnia and Kosovo would be rotting in mass graves.

I must object. A systematic attempt to kill Kosovans was not actually implemented until after NATO decided to bomb Belgrade. Not to say that cleansing Kosovo through forced evacuation was right, but the killing aspect which is often used to support acts of intervention was actually encouraged by America's actions. Also how can it be justified to take one side when the KLA were engaging in equally horrific acts that amounted to massacres, rape and killings of Serb-Kosovans? In fact the KLA were touted as freedom fighters despite their crimes against innocent people and such sub-divisions as the 'Gnjilane Group' whose aim was to ethnically cleanse ethnic Serbians from the town. As well as in Gnjiliane, elsewhere over 1000 Serbs and Romani's went missing and over 847 reported killed whilst NATO forces were in control.

I agree with you that when looking at such scenarios with an already existing bias towards America can distort any decision on the matter, however I believe using intervention in Kosovo at least to be a poor example regarding the many questions to arise from it. Especially how the weaker yet just as vicious and bloodthirsty side was supported against the other, who shared the same goals of ethnically cleansing Kosovo.

For you to even say that the crimes comitted by the ethnic Albanians were equally horrific as those comitted by Serb forces then i'm afraid you are far from the reality. I have been affected by this war and have witnessed the effects first hand and im sorry to say but the KLA were purely freedom fighters with ONLY A FEW, and i reiterate FEW, engaging in and comitting war crimes against serbs. Having said that, those have been found not guilty in hague. Call it whatever you want, systematic or just pure savagery, an attempt to kill albanians was in effect and it was very much so going on. I know families who had their family members murdered before NATO came in Kosovo.

Milosevic was fill of hatred and a disgusting human being. His main objective was genocide, ethnic cleansing and a Greater Yugoslavia. His forces killed children, raped women, lined up men and sprayed bullets till everyone lay dead. The whole world knows that The Serbian Government were to blame for what happened in Kosovo, not to mention Bosnia where 100,000 lost their lives.

It is not true there are 1000 serbs missing, check the missing persons website yourself. Thounsands more albanians were massacred in comparision to serbs, it is not EVEN CLOSE. Have you ever visited Kosovo or spoke to an Albanian or even a Serb who is not biased?
