After the No Fly Zone

By Micah Halpern
I've Been Thinking:
Now that the UN Security Council passed the No Fly Zone resolution over Libya, several important questions must be answered.
What will the UN do when Libya takes to the air?
Will UN forces hit strategic air sites while they are on the ground?
How will Libya respond to the attack?
As weak as Libya may be, relative to US airpower, they still have capabilities that can wreak terrible harm on soft targets in the region. Libya will interpret all pro-Western countries as targets and that includes their ships and their shores.
The No Fly Zone should have been instituted at the very beginning of the conflict, it should have been instituted through intimidation ... now, it is too late.
