The UN Adopts Sarah Palin's Idea

One of the first to speak out about Gaddafi in Libya was Sarah Palin, where she called for an end to Gaddafi's reign, as well as the enactment of a No-Fly Zone, to protect those protesting against Gaddafi. For nearly one month, America dithered and the president was absent, punting it off to the UN, France and Great Britain.

This week, the UN Security Council voted to enact a No-Fly Zone in Libya, and today, the United States fired Tomahawk missiles into Libya to enforce the No-Fly Zone. While we hope this action meets its objectives, there is some question about whether this was too little, too late, along with the fact that there has been no action by the American government to find/meet with the leader(s) of the Libyan opposition who may take power and form a new government, if Gaddafi is to be overthrown.

As has been said before, Gaddafi is a bad guy and needs to go, yet with a power vacuum in the opposition, as well as a lack of history of democratic government in Libya, the people are not guaranteed freedom under a new government and there is a big uncertainty of what will be next if Gaddafi is killed, as that's the only way he will leave power.
