I'm sorry, but I find this quite a weak argument. If Benghazi had fallen to Qaddafi, there's no way of telling what could have happened. A humanitarian intervention quite clearly was called for when it became clear that the fall of Benghazi was imminent, certainly when combined with some of the Qaddafi-rhetoric.

Kalwejt, your insistence that the two sides are morally equivalent is quite amusing.

Xahar, I rather reject the view that it's some kind "good, pure rebels" vs. "bad regime".

What it isn't either is 'bad' vs. 'bad', kalwejt. Qaddafi quite clearly is morally much more problematic than the rebels could ever turn out to be.
