War against Gaddafi is just

The international community must support the rebels in Libya with every means at its disposal, Lluís Bassets writes in his blog Del Alfiler al Elefante, comparing the Libyan dictator Muammar al-Gaddafi with the Iraqi Saddam Hussein: "Both are tyrants, but the international community has treated them very differently. An illegal and unjust war was fought against Saddam. Currently a very just war is being waged against Gaddafi: that of the Libyan people for its freedom. In the meantime those who were only recently friends and business partners of the dictator are watching to see how their former ally will react. They observe the events with horror, but from a distance. It goes without saying that 'No' was the right answer to Bush's war, and the same goes for Gaddafi's war against his people. But we must give a clear 'Yes' and all possible support for the war the Libyan people is now waging against the dictator who oppresses them."
