I don't understand why USA has to interfere in everyone's business. I understand there is a crisis in Libya but supporting Gadaffi's hang and all?? Don't know

tara, I hear you.
UN issued "no fly zone" in Libya in support of opponents of Gaddaffi and USA is backing it up.

What is the exit plan here? (Obama administration always criticized Bush administration for lack of exit plan but when it comes to their decisions, are rules different?)

Do they have alternate leader if Gadhafi is deposed? Obama yesterday said that he doesn't want to remove Gadhafi like Saddam in Iraq? If he is not removed, will he he not engage in backlash against rebels when allies leave.. ?

Why wasn't the congress (which represents will of American citizens) consulted before starting the air strike?

So few 100 rebels were killed in civil war but now there will be much bigger civilian casualties and much bigger damage in Libyan infrastructure? Who rebuilds that? Can US/allies deny that this isolated Arab state was successful in limiting Al-queda entry to Europe and now that is no longer a guarantee ??

I see only hypocrisy and confusion and no clear long term strategy. After saying that French will lead the attack and US will follow, French army didn't do the first strike as they wanted to have meeting but US did the first strike. Now Gadhafi is arming everyone with guns, ground troops entry will be next. God save America and Libya
