What's going on in Libya

What is everyone's take on Libya? Are you on the side of the "rebels" or the side of the loyalists? Do you think that the U.S. ,the UN Security Council, and NATO did the right thing in enforcing a no-fly zone over the country?

Quaddafi (WaPo sp?) was named part of the "axis of Evil" by former U.S. President George W. Bush right after 9/11. The global community has seen the actions set forth by this leader on to the dissidents of his regime. Is it right for these actions to be taken? Did the international community take "just" action, or should've they taken more or less action?

While the nation of Libya is rich in natrual resources (=OIL), most of the people do not see the funds. It was just reported that the U.S. Treasury Department froze $30 billion dollars in U.S. banks.

Thoughts on President Barack Obama's term in office.

He's been in office a little over two years.  Has he accomplished all he said he would? Yes, he took on healthcare and it passed.  But because of that piece of legislation, the Democrats lost control of the House.  This writer isn't saying that this isn't good or bad, but I don't like when government rubber stamps everything because one party controls 2/3's of the government (White House, and Legislative Branch).
