Operation Odyssey Dawn too late?

Libya is infected by the Jasmine Revolution, but the Revolution trembles before something they haven't seen in a while.


Moammar Gadhafi. Regarded as one of the most, eh, 'eccentric' leader of all time. Called a Mad Dog by Ronald Reagan, former U.S.A president, and sworn enemies of Margeret Thatcher, former prime minister of U.K. Known best for it's flamboyant fashion and its female bodyguards.


And if Hosni Mubarak of Egypt and Ben Ali of Tunisia peacefully give in to the demonstratives, Moammar Gadhafi will not step down without a decent fight.


Even in ironies with the fact that he also raise a revolution 40 years ago against his predeccesor King Idris 1 without the use of force, contradicting of today's revolution 1000 victim- mainly because of Gaddafi's air force.

So it's sensible that at least to put a No-Fly zone on Libyan coastal area- where more than 90% of Libyan Population live.


The problem is, a lot of country seldom doing intervention, except U.S.A, U.K, and France, and they're busy enough doing their internal problem.


After a long-long discussion, even with U.S.A actually reluctant to do an intervention (Iraq is fading off, Afghanistan is on the process, and now Libya is on the way?) they agree to declare a no fly zone above Libya.


The problem is its a bit too late.


Back into last week or two, the Libyan opposition seems to be invincible, and controling areas far behind their headquarters in Benghazi, and now they're struggling to hold on from Gaddafi's army, heading straight to Benghazi. A no-fly zone at present times might not be as effective as a no-fly zone last week, when the opposition is in full power and full morale.


Well, somethings are just imperfect, but now the only thing we can pray about is that God bless all.
