The US is currently providing air support along with Great Britain and France to protect the civilian population during a rebellion in Libya against the dictator Moammar Gadhafi in accordance with United Nations resolution 1973. The purpose of this intervention is to prevent a slaughter of civilians by Gadhafi. The civil war is still in progress as of April 4, 2011, as I type. Even if Gadhafi is defeated by the rebellion, that will not mean that Obama or the US will have control of Libya. The rebels will then be in control.
