Did the Arab League, whose support for the current air action against Libya was crucial to internationalizing its support, really think there would be no casualties? Or, did you think the U.S. wouldn't make the no-fly zone easier to enforce by taking out Ligyan air capacity?
Stop complaining, whether it's from hypocrisy or cluelessness.
That said, it's really not "internationalized." It's the U.s., with a dash of lapdog Britain and a little French opening elan, since President Nicolas Sarkozy is facing an election soon. Surprised Berlusconi isn't flying a few planes over Libya to obscure his possibly pending trial.

Guess who Silvio’s bringing to dinner?
The Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has physical taste in women (pic at link), even if they’re nearly 50 years younger than him. Assuming this is a relationship, I wonder when it started and what sort of statutory rape law Italy may have.
