Talk politics.

I think we should stay out of it. We are not the police of the world.

Besides, I thought this was the purview of the UN, anyways: to help mediate conflicts and so forth.

LOL!

The UN is the single most ineffective body on the planet. Even if it wanted to do something it wouldn't be capable of moving in a timely manner, and that's getting past the issue of countries on the security council having deals for commodities with the despot and thus not wanting the rebels to succeed. Freedom for Libyans? Pfft, we've got oil to worry about.

I'm firmly in the "no-fly zone" camp. We shouldn't put people on the ground, and we should let them fight it out themselves. We CAN help them by neutralizing Gadhafi's air power. Since this is the specific intervention they're asking for, there's not much "I told you so" (at least no more so then usual, and certainly no more then you'll get by doing nothing). Also given the relative imbalance in air power, this comes at comparatively low risk to American personnel.

Let UN, or AL, or OPEC deal with it - that option wasnt included in your poll, but as far as the US is concerned, stay out of it, so: #1.

The only option I would be in favor of is providing humanitarian aid, especially in refugee camps in Egypt and Tunisia, possibly airdropped into some of the Libyan cities.

Anything beyond that is out of the question.

None at all, same as with any other country besides Libya. The most disastrous thing to do in the middle of a revolution is for any outsider to intervene in it. That has an unfortunate tendency to backfire horribly.

Pentagon out, CNN in!

All or nothing. So, nothing. Dropping supplies or humanitarian aid in a conflict zone just feeds the belligerents as they are quickly stolen and confiscated from the general populace. Sticking planes overhead without any control of the overall situation is strategic madness-- you don't deploy resources and airmen without any designs on the end-game or control. You either go and impose your will, or you stay out of it.

We should do the right thing, stay out for now.

Giving those who already hate us another reason to do so should not factor into our thinking. We're a super-power after all and can take a bit of criticism.

Iraq should prove that it is no longr a US puppet. The Iraqi government should deploy it's Blackwater troops into Libya.

My answer: Not a damned thing. We need to step pack from this "policeman of the world" schtick that's gotten us in trouble and focus on North America and North Korea (the latter due to our obligations to South Korea and the fact that we never actually ended the war).
