Libya is going against the humanitarian rights. These rights basically mean that this is against what everyone believes and the Libyian leader is killing his own people. The United Nation has to take part and stop what is happening. Not only is the U.S involved but so is Europe.
The only reason that America is involved in Libya is simple because it wants to steal the libyan oil, which is among the best petroleum in the world because of its composition and richness. America is currently stealing oil from Iraq. America will kill anyone and any nation that stands in its way, so it uses Kadafi as an excuse. Ask yourselves, if America is such a goody goody country, then why doent it stay in places like Haiti, where much help is needed, places like Costa Rica, where all sorts of human rights have been committed and because locked up in cells forever and all with the consent of America...Ill tell you why, its simply because there is no oil there.
