No fly zone

              Today in the news on the CNN channel the reporter was talking about how Qaddafi's compound was bombed. In one part of the building there are two circular holes which are speculated to be from some kind of missile. 
              America has already invaded the Libyan air space to  enforce a no fly zone. America and its allies invaded with the view that it was a strategic move protect the civilian population in Libya. Again the U.S. is taking things into their own hands in an international cause. However, in this case we don't know the far reaching consequences which could lead the U.S. to a prolonged stay in Libya or if resistance will surface from Libya or surrounding countries. 
              Invading Libya could almost be seen as a declaration of war because we have bombed military locations and the act of invading could be viewed the same way. Without knowing the consequences of our actions, this might prove to be another Iraq-like war.
