Libya


NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) has been helping the Libyans effort. NATO is a large group of democratic countries from Europe and North America. They having been a great help but now are creating problems. The countries within NATO are disagreeing on the extent they should be involved in this civil war. President Obama is reluctant to send in U.S warplanes to attack forces loyal to Moammar Gadhafi. NATO's foreign ministers are presently in Berlin trying to come to a decision on their level of involvement. As I said before in a previous article The U.S have already put a lot of money into Libya and have been active in helping protect Libya’s citizens, so it is understandable that they would want to stick to protecting instead of attacking. The Foreign minster of Canada said that Canada is going to become more actively involved and the French foreign minster is encouraging the U.S to do the same The question is how involved do we want to be, how involved do we need to be and will an attack on forces loyal to Gadhafi be successful.
