Your whole argument for intervention is based on the reported massacres of protesters by Gaddhafi and his forces. But the protesters are not all defenseless civilians. There are many armed men among them. And they don't seem to lack ammunition. Many pictures even showed them with heavy tanks and heavy anti-aircraft guns. It looks to me more like a civil war (or tribal war?) -- albeit with one side outgunned by the other side -- rather than a one-sided massacre of civilians.
I have a question: Would the crisis in Ukraine, in a roundabout way, affect, or even disrupt, the Iran nuclear talks?
