A 'no fly zone' over Libya

is not going to achieve much at all.

With out a no fly zone the regime's forces are going to crush the uprising.

With a no fly zone the regime's forces might take a little longer to crush the uprising. More people might die in the course of a longer civil war.

It's well meaning but no more than a gesture. Either you go for a full blown invasion and regime change (recent history suggests this hard) or you leave well alone.

  1. I see they've gone for far more than a no fly zone - 'all necessary means'.
