On thursday Libya's opposition battled for military and diplomatic advantage against Moammar Gadhafi.
France became the first country to formally recognize the rebels' newly created Interim Governing Council.
Germany said it froze billions in assets of the Libyan Central Bank and other state-run agencies. The U.S., UK, Switzerland, Austria and other countries have also frozen Gadhafi's assets. "The brutal suppression of the Libyan freedom movement can now no longer be financed from funds that are in German banks," Economy Minister Rainer Bruederle said. Both sides in Libya are lobbying for support from Western countries as their leaders debate whether to protect the rebels from Gadhafi's air force by putting a no-fly zone over some or all of the country. Britain and France have backed the rebels' calls for a no-fly zone, but the Obama adminstration has expressed deep reservations about involvement in another conflict in the greater Middle East.
I think that the conflicts in Libya are justified because they need to fix their government and make it more modern. However the way that they are going about it isn't good. They can't fight their battles on their own and since they are our allies it makes us involved. I think that the last thing that America needs right now is to get involved in another war.
This has to do with goverment because America getting involved in another conflict will really hurt us. our economy has already been drained because of the war in iraq and the middle east and we really can't afford anything else.

I agree. We really don't need to get into any type of argument or war with other countries. Like Kayla said, our economy already sucks. Why make it suck more?
ReplyDeleteI agree too. We've been at war for 10 years almost. We've lost a lot of our troops and some have been injured where they will need support for the rest of their lives also. We are supposed to finally be getting out of these two countries, so let's just mind are own business and keep the peace!
