I remember well that this is not the first encounter with Libya. In fact the very first foreign war fought by the United States against the Pirates of the Barbary Coast (aka, Tripoli) under Thomas Jefferson. He had the courtesy to consult Congress first.To answer your question, my solution would be for the rebels to surrender. They obviously did not have a proper battle plan for overthrowing Gaddafi, and basically lost their revolution. Gaddafi would no longer have any reason to bomb innocent civilians.We just cannot come to the aid of every poorly planned revolution against a ruthless leader. We can not force a regime change for every country that has a tyrannical leader. Maybe in time the world will become sufficiently civilized to organize a way to handle these humanitarian crises, but right now we do not. And nobody wants the US to be the self-appointed policemen of the world.
