So the French are seemingly targeting the Libyan army, reports they have destroyed some Libyan tanks. Lots more countries are expected to be getting involved soon, all the usual suspects.

Whats your thoughts on this? Surely something has to be done to stop the situation getting out of control.

The RAF are specialists at no-fly zones, see Bosnia/pre Iraq invasion, even when we were using the outdated Jaguar aircraft. The French would never be able to seemingly "take out" installations/SAM sites without a huge amount of paper work & pre-checks. Something needs to be done, whether getting other nations with superior firepower (the French have sent Rafale's) is a matter of debate however... here we go!

I think the thing with Libya is, its pretty obvious something needs to be done. But its quite complex as to what should be done, who should do it and that sort of thing. I don't think you can just leave it to the rebel fighters in Libya to overturn the ruler although that would be ideal. But if anything more than a no fly zone is set up, I think it gets too complex as with all humanitarian intervention. I think Britain and USA should play a limited role, with bad reputation prior etc. But then again what do I know.

Also in no way relevant just 3 days prior to the uprising my dads company was near finalising a deal with the bank of Libya for some form of banking equipment.

Its all kicking off now. Rebels storming Gadhafis compound.

Live stream here. The revolution will be televised.

I find its funnier if you play the Logjammin theme from the Big Lebowski in the background and also leave the sound on from Libya while they all shout in Arabic and shoot the place up.
