I think it's a joke,
It's not exactly hard for europe to extend a no fly zone over libya. What's the UN even doing.

What exactly would they do though
if Libya were to continue to use fighter jets to murder it's own citizens?

They would put a no fly zone in place
and engage any of their jets/helicopters with their much better missiles from about 10 miles away.

Oh really? Do you really think that a European country will engage in a demonstrable act of war against the Libyan military?
I don't think that's going to happen is it.

It was officially requested by the Libyan delegation to the UN

I know
but which country is actually going to fire a missile at a libyan fighter jet? It won't be Italy, since Bellusconi is Gaddafis best mate. And I don't think any of the other countries really has the stomach for a war over something which won't affect them.

It's nuts.
Amazing how the UK can invade another country on some flimsy pretence for humanitarian concern and yet do fuck all when an unhinged dictator starts bombing civilian protesters.

Let's be fair
they have bombed the fuck out of him before. They like to spread their bomb-based love around, the UK government.
