America Fires First Strike

On Marth 19th the U.S. launched 112 missles to destroy SAM (surface-to-air) turrets in Lybia, in hopes to elimante the "no-fly zone" set by Gadhafi. Since early January citizens of lybia have been trying to get him to step down and it has lead into a unbalenced cival war between civilians and Gadhafi's military force. Many consider what he is doing as genocide, and other countires are taking note. As of right now The United States has not officially entered war with them but is providing support for the lybian citizens. I think although we as a country have enough issues, our firepower is needed to help out less fourtante countries.

    Because the civilains are pretty much helpless. They are fighting a military force with litte more then fists and rocks. Then their military made their country a No-Fly Zone meaning no one can come in and no one can go out, if any planes fly over they are shot out of the sky.

    I thought that the UN was creating a no fly zone over Libya in order to get rid of the airstrikes that Ghadaffi was ordering on the advancing rebels and to push them back to where they originally were, because the rebels had no training in repelling the attacks that the pro ghaddafi forces were using against them...

    No the united Nations is against Ghadaffi's no fly zone, he set it up so other counties would be able to aid the protesters to get him out of office.

    I did, and we set up a no fly zone, we took out their surface to air missles, as well as took out their fighter. So we could provide support for the rebel troops from the air.
