That section of the Declaration was intended to mean that under ANY government the people had the right to overthrow it.It does not mean that those people cannot receive help from outside.I am all in favor of the Libyan people receiving help from outside. I do not think that the US federal government has the constitutional authority to provide such help. Other governments or individuals might.I agree that there is no guarantee that the Libyan people will come out on top - with our without help. Whether or not they prevail or lose or whether or not they suffer huge losses or slight ones does not matter in determining if US Federal involvement is constitutional or not. The only thing that determines if the US Fed has the authority to intervene is a statement in the constitutions giving the fed that power.
