We are at war my friends.


No fly zone does not = war.

At this point, another American war is only a possibility, not an actuality. As for the article, I'm gonna go with SpelCzech on this one.

The US Congress didn't declare war, nor authorize the use of force.


Has that ever stopped war before? LAWL

The military invasion of the airspace of a sovereign nation is an act of war !

You may publicly call it anything you so choose in order to justify your support but the reality when you're all alone and being totally honest with yourself is that we will be at war with the official government of Libya .



( except for those of you who think a no fly zone is enforced by flying pink unicorns dropping rainbows and marshmallows on Libya )

An authorization for the use of force is not a declaration of war by the UN.  It just makes peacekeeping operations legal.  If we were actually at war, there would be pretty far reaching consequences--not the least of which is that all of our mutual defense pacts would kick in and about half the world would be required by law to enter the war on our side or break a treaty with the United States.


Peacekeeping also does not mean directly attacking. Peacekeepers can only fire if fired upon, they can't do anything unless they're being attacked.

Unless the U.N. has changed regulations since Rwanda...

It takes two to make a war. If Ghadhafi's forces don't fire on the planes of the US or any of its allies, then it's not a super duper official war. Just a peacekeeping operation. :P
