U.S. involvement in Libya

Recently, the United States and other nations around the world began to get involved in Libya. The people in Libya began to protest the rule of Muammar Gaddafi and his 40 year rule and people wanted to express their human rights. They began to protest and after seeing the success of Egypt, people began taking the streets and demonstrating against Gaddafi. Although, one of the problems that began to occur is the Libyan military shooting and killing demonstrators which caused the United Nations to act against his actions. The United States, France, and Britain are some of the countries involved as well as other countries to protect the Libyan people from the rule of Gaddafi. They imposed a no fly zone and have attacked several military points and bases of the Libyan military. Gaddafi at first said he will not step down, and Obama is hesitant over full military force in Libya. He believes that it is necessary to arm rebels in Libya and is careful not to have a World War 3. Personally, I think it is good how the United States and other nations are getting involved to spread democracy and help out people who live in dangerous conditions, but there is also the thought that the United States and other countries are involved for its oil. Hopefully Gaddafi steps down soon and the people of Libya can have their own rights to express.
