13. Obama Warns Libya on Allied Action



President Obama told Col. Muammar el-Quddafi on March 18th to carry out an immediate cease-fire and stop all attacks on Libyan civilians or face military action from the United States and its allies in Europe and the Arab world. In one of his most forceful statements as president, Mr. Obama said that his demands were not negotiable: Colonel Qaddafi had to pull his forces back from Libya’s major cities or the United States and its allies would step in. The president said that he was forced to act because Colonel Qaddafi had turned on his people and had shown, Mr. Obama said, “no mercy on his own citizens.”


The Libyan government announced a cease-fire just hours after the United Nations Security Council approved a resolution authorizing military action against Colonel Qadaffi to protect Libyan civilians. But rebel spokesmen said government forces attacked several locations on March 18th. On March 18th, United Nations Security council decided to establish a "no-fly zones" in Libya,  hope Libya's recently situation will be stable as soon as possible, and also avoid the armed conflicts upgrades and more serious humanitarian crisis. The conflict between countries is always happened.  In fact, I do not think the bill that United Nations Security Council decided is not quite good, because considering the currently special cases  of Arab countries and the Au's concerns and position with Libya. Just let them handle this, the better way is we do not step in as America.
