“Libia no es Irak, no tiene nada que ver, es una intervención justa and all of the law. In fact, Iraq is the counterexample. " (Elena Valenciano, secretary of the PSOE Foreign Policy)
supporters attack on Libya feel so safe, even in case of Iraq, almost no content, which they need. The sum in question, that those who reject launch aggression, and intends to close the debate: " it, war is bad, but do you have a better alternative? What would you have done, let the carnage, looking the other way? ". Well, we respond.
of all, we must remember that just sit back and look the other way is disgusting, yes, but is the norm. Not justify, but invalidates the argument that it was mandatory to do something, it rarely does anything. Think of many countries where the population is threatened as in Libya, and nothing happens. Most scandalous double standards when it affects future situations: against Gaddafi firmness is weakened when both look the other way in Bahrain.
Secondly, in order not to get here we should have avoided all this. If today we have a problem with Qaddafi's because for years you laugh thanks. For having, Gadhafi has to Madrid Golden Key that he gave Gallardón in ceremony, with no decent UI councilors. Sorry no longer useful, no turning back. But it should serve to prevent future gadafis, and to demand accountability from their friends of yesterday, today's enemies.
Thirdly, if the war is a last resort, means that before you have exhausted all avenues. Do we really exhausted all avenues? Have you even come to explore? Rather, it seems that from the outset it was clear that the only way was the military, and did not attempt anything. There were proposals for international mediation, like Chavez, rejected and ridiculed by those who say they have exhausted all avenues.
One final point: a massacre not prevent another massacre. We have many precedents for hesitation. Of Gaddafi dead know only by hearsay, we have not seen. Instead we started to see dead bodies under our bombs. Ah, of course, are supporters of Gaddafi, deserve to be eliminated.
