Will We Be Swayed by the UN to Establish a No-Fly Zone in Libya?

EIN News says, "UN Supporters Introduce No-fly Resolution at UN Security Council supporters of a no-fly zone over Libya were working Wednesday to persuade the group's more reluctant members to back a UN resolution aimed at stopping Moammar Gadhafi's planes from bombing civilians. (foxnews.com)".

I am surprised at Fox news. They are normally reasonably unbiased in their reporting. In this case, the statement is inflammatory.

The question is whether will bomb or is bombing innocent civilians. While I am not familiar with all the details, it makes no sense that Gaddafi would bomb innocent civilians. His primary purpose is to protect his government and preserve his power against insurgent rebels.

These insurgent rebels are likely of civilian origin, but when they took up arms against the Qaddafi government, they gave up their "innocent civilian" status.

With respect to the UN supporters introducing a no-fly resolution at the UN, this is to be expected. Those Security Council supporters are of socialistic ideology and are also ignorant concerning the status of the rebels. I am also ignorant on that point, but suspect that most of the rebels are members or supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood. We need to consistently remind ourselves that Muslim doctrine is to kill Christians, unless they can be converted to Islam. Would we rather have the Muslim brotherhood in charge of Libya, with intent to do harm to the US and its Christian citizens wherever possible, or would we rather have Gaddafi remaining in power? Gaddafi has not been a friend to the United States, but the Muslim Brotherhood is likely to be worse.

The thing that worries me is that the UN Security Council may convince the Gen. Assembly to introduce a no-fly zone. If that occurs, we must recognize that in spite of the fact that UN actions have routinely been detrimental to the interests of the United States, we likely will be required and accede to a leadership position in securing a no-fly zone. This means supplying military at great cost, when we already have two ridiculous wars in progress.
