The problem with all those Arab revolutions and civil wars is that in the end, the bad guys will inevitably win.
The Arab people are the 'bad guys'.
*whoosh*
No, I got it.  I just think you're wrong.

I don't think you did.

He implied that there's no good guys so by default the winner will be the bad guys.

DO YOU SEE?

The fighting continues to escalate. I don't get how the news can still say things like "Libya appears to be sliding toward a civil war". It's already in a state of civil war, thousands have died.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Every other article says the rebels captured them.
How odd.

The rebels seems to think that every non Arab or Berber is a mercenary payed by Gaddafi. Africa oil workers has been attacked and some even lynched by locals, also wild rumors about "Christian" mercenary pilots from either Italy or Serbia being used to bomb rebel held cities. They somehow think that no true Arab muslim would fight for Gaddafi, so every outsider is suspicious...   

I don't know about other foreigners in Libya, but all oil workers got there as a part of deal their governments/companies made with Gaddafi. So they are getting everything they deserve. If you sleep with dogs, you wake up with fleas.

Since all industry in Libya is run by Gaddafi and his buddies is all foreign work in the country "in bed" with Gaddafi, no matter if they are European, Turks, Chinese or African. Problem for the Africans is that they have been singled out due to so far unconfirmed reports of African mercenaries...

Being Black and as such considered non- muslim/arab doesnt help either, but what can you expect from a bunch of sand hillbillies...

So ....should the West, or the UN, declare a no-flight zone over Libya and shoot down any Libyan fighters/bombers? Discuss?

No.  The rebels are Gadaffi's problem and he should be allowed to deal with them.
