Celebrations are sounding across the Arab World today as the United Nations passed a resolution imposing a NO-FLY zone over Libya.
The vote authorizes “all necessary measures short of an occupation force”, including the use of airstrikes, to counter the pro-Gaddafi forces who’ve been mercilessly slaughtering civilians across the nation.
It seems the urgent pleas from within Benghazi may be answered in time to prevent further deaths, although the people could remain vulnerable for days as the coordinated plan comes to fruition.
If nothing else, this resolution should at least provide a psychological boost to the freedom fighters in Libya, recharging their spirits with the support of a world that won’t abandon them.
