Do you agree with military action in Libya (poll included.

Note people, that the West would have had easy access to the oil if they simply supported Gaddafi. Remember when many foreign oil workers pulled out of Libya?

Also, the oil Libya provides is not at all significant. It could easily be replaced by either getting oil from the Saudis or relying on more Russian oil and gas.

Top Ten Oil Exporting Countries

* Saudi Arabia (8.73 million barrels per day)
* Russia (6.67)
* Norway (2.91)
* Iran (2.55)
* Venezuela (2.36)
* United Arab Emirates (2.33)
* Kuwait (2.20)
* Nigeria (2.19)
* Mexico (1.80)
* Algeria (1.68)

As you can see, the West would have profited more Oil-wise if it made an excuse to invade Algeria.

So knowing that the "We did it for the oil" is bull****, and the West has no interest to colonise Libya: Yes, I fully support this military action.

BP alone, has about £15 billion worth of oil in Libya.

The UN should **** off instead of pretending to give a **** about civilians dying, its so painstakingly obvious they just want to ensure their oil resources are all dandy. Let the Arabs sort it out amongst themselves.

I think it's kinda different though in the fact that the UN seem much more involved...rather than Iraq and Afghanistan being taken care of Illegally by UK and USA?

Hopefully won't be replaced by a puppet...but with democracy which is what Libya people seem to be fighting for.

Afghanistan was sanctioned by the UN....

Ah, was it?
How comes it's thought of as an illegal war(if the UN and thus pretty much the whole world voted for it? Or is that not how it works?)?

This.

This action has bugger all to do with protecting civilians, they're probably going to bomb a civvy target next and then blame it on Gaddafi using "human shields".

Totally disproportional and unnecessary, Gaddafi was only attacking civilians who also happened to be planning a coo, civilians that support him can carry on with their normal lives. If you say that's enough to intervene, then why aren't we attacking other countries with military dictators?

The rebels are probably just as mental as he is, I doubt that western democracy will ever appear in the region by us bombing their cities. All that will happen is Gaddafi will now be able to unite the country against the invading west, we'll have another war over something that is nothing to do with us.
