Again, I'm not sure about what we should be doing there, or elsewhere.... I'm simply pointing out the extreme irony here, in terms of what Obama and Biden have said.

Well there is plenty of oil in libya so wouldn't doubt that plays a factor, unfortunately.
why wait a month? well since nothing was done until the UN called on the US along with several other countries, i would assume nothing would of been done if not for the UN?
The UN may have no power but they still communicated to the US and other countries that action should be taken, its not like the US went out on its own here.
The middle east seems to be on its way to revolution/evolution? I'm sure many would like to see things change there but yes, many countries are slaughtering their own people and nothing is done. there is no real justice in this world. it seems where the US steps in is based more on greed and opportunism than anything else.
