I am happy that the Libyans finally got rid of Moammar Qaddafi. However, I still agree with US Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich, who wrote for the Guardian and said:
"The leading donor nations of NATO - the US, France and Great Britain - have been free to prosecute war under the cloak of this faceless, bureaucratic, alphabet security agency, now multinational war machine, which can violate UN resolutions and kill innocent civilians with impunity. War crimes trials are only for losers. The prospective conquerors, the Western powers and their rebel proxies, will then expect to be able to assert control over Libya's vast oil and natural gas reserves."
What even worse will be, in my opinion, the consequential perception of the NATO intervention in Libya, which may set up a wrong example against international law:
Violating a UN Security Council resolution by bombing a particular side of a civil war (7,459 air strikes against Qaddafi targets, including TV stations) and still stating that the Alliance doesn't take sides as it just protects civilians may not be legitimate, but who cares, it works!
Libya is a victory, but it is a victory of arms against the international law. I prefer victories of wit in compliance with the international law.
