Killing people, whether or not in the Middle East, is never a long term peaceful solution

What on earth are we doing seemingly getting dragged into yet another country and another war? Over 50 get killed in Yemen, Saudi Arabian troops march into Bahrain, yet we pick a fight with a madman with a less efficient army, a dictator who we have supported in the past, but now it seems politically expediant to weaken and oust him.

I'm against Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, and would love to see him gone, with Libya having a peaceful, democratic and prosperous future, but fear that the conflict will descend into a long bitter civil war, with tribal and personal interests of a few, triumphing over the average decent hard working and long suffering Libyians.

The only way the coalition can "win" is by NOT killing any civilians, particularly women and children, although I would not put it past Colonel Gaddafi's regime to buy some American ammunition and kill a load of civilians and blame it on the "Western" infidels.

Even if "we" succeed in stopping Gaddafi's troops killing civilians, whose is to say the "Rebels" won't kill civilians who support the regime? The whole thing is an utter mess, with the Middle East in complete turmoil. Who knows where it will end?

The only "good" thing, is that "Evil" by its very inherent nature, can not stop itself from ever increasing more evil and inhuman acts, so will eventually be exposed for what it is - pure evil.

Remember "Evil triumphs when good men do nothing", so we need to do something, but we must not be dragged down to the evildoers level, or frankly, they've won anyway.
