>We've all seen the latest video of government forces destroying the rebels and civilians in Libya. Does anyone hear the whispers of backroom deals???? How many more countries before the U.S. does the same? Is the U.S. waiting to see the political fallout before making a decision? Is it waiting for a (behind closed doors) agreed upon international calling for the U.S. to take a stance? Is this an attempt to keep the U.S. from being a target for being the first or is the U.S. really behind on this one? Either our leadership really doesn't believe in supporting the transitional council of the rebels (yet) or it is now not willing to stick its neck out for political freedom when it may hurt its image in the Arab world. I guess the U.S. now (by appearances) only stands up for democracy and political freedom when it is politically advantageous to it. I've heard a lot of "don't do anything" as well as "we are no longer the first in supporting democracy and political freedom" comments in the news by supposed experts....both sides make "sense" but what is the right thing to do for the Libyan people and for the U.S.?

The UN should be taking point on this. Their lack of action, or even visibility on this file shows their irrelevance in today's world.
