Military intervention soon needed

The current sanctions against the Gaddafi regime are inadequate, writes the news portal Delfi and examines the question of Nato intervention under certain conditions: "If Libya is plunged into an all-out civil war between Gaddafi's opponents and supporters. Basically the civil war has already begun if Gaddafi refuses to go, his armed forces defend Tripoli and the country threatens to split in two. This danger is real and could swell the stream of refugees. … In the West they're already paving the way for the propagandistic justification of potential military intervention, even if the Nato states are divided on the issue. While the US and the UK haven't it ruled out, Turkey and France are against it. Nato is planning peace-keeping measures and other initiatives beyond its borders as part of its new strategy. Whether we like it or not we too would be involved."
