This is the way i see it now. We need to do everything we can to STOP the fighting (disarment, barricades, weapon destruction, political interface). The sad part is everyones immediate idea is that by 'help' we must mean military help. There are other ways, and they must be consulted before Gadaffi completely discards us as liars and enemys.

alot of negotiation and peaceful attempts were made earlier. the stuff in libya has been going on for months. we just stepped in a couple days ago.

not much else to do but give military assistance.

it's very similar to the way Egypt went. Mubarak fired his entire cabinet 2 days before he stepped down

No i meant using the military to disarm both sides.

e.g, a special forces team moves silently into an outer libya base, taints the water supply with knockout, and BAM, civilians in that area are safe for another day.

I dunno, that does sound pretty stupid but i still think there is another way, if only we could think of it.

catch is that unconventional warfare(like you suggested) is outlawed by the Geneva Convention that all coalition countries were involved in. Direct intervention is all we can do and it has to be pretty transparent

That would lead to civil war between Gadaffi's supporters and the Rebels. So yeah, i really dont understand what we expect to achieve.

Dammit Gadaffi, why couldnt you just let 'em protest?.

Damn that would be awesome.

Rebel 1: Looks like we're all gonna die. Gaddafi forces are gonna tear us appart, and our families next
Rebel 2: It's been an honour

Master Chief: Thats not going to happen

Then a giant frigate fleet bursts over the hill and thunders to the east, over the shaken rooftops of tripoli. Government jets swoop into action, and a dogfight brakes out between both sides of aircraft, with occasional frigate bullets punching down a fighter.


A man can dream, though...
