Libya - What would you do?

I am, with some fury, watching Question Time with specific relevance to Libya and the decision made by UN and other powers. (And because Kelvin Mackenzie can curdle milk with just a look from 20 paces!)

How dare we sit back, having caused some of this devastation with our own weapons, and watch Gaddafi brutalise and obliterate other human beings? These are PEOPLE.
If anything, the funding we have provided for their weapons are a reason to intervene.

We have no money as a country and we are NO super power - but this man is literally wiping out his people. It makes my heart break to watch women and children simply want to get out of a country so horrendously full of hate when I take for granted my freedom.
I complain everyday about what I don't have.
Can you imagine what it must be like to be herded around with a gun in your back?
Can you imagine not knowing if today is your last at the hands of the people who are supposed to run your country and protect you? Protect your family? Fight for you and your rights??

I don't believe our Government could ever get back on it's high horse (Nor do I believe, although somewhat differently than Gaddafi, that they fight for me), in fact I think it's probably long bolted with through the stable door while shut!

But put yourself in their shoes - Could you stand back and watch?

I don't think I could.
