US Congressman Dennis Kucinich has been in the forefront of the campaign to get the US Congress to end Obama's war in Libya. When George W Bush was president Kucinich tried to get him impeached for misleading Congress into the Iraq war.

Libya was going to be different from all previous wars. Strikes would be 'targeted', 'collateral damage' would be negligible, and of course, just as the British government said in 1914, the war would be so swift that it would all be over in a couple of months.

The regime change war Obama is waging in Libya is illegal under the American constitution because he hasn't got approval from the US Congress. No problem: he's rebranded it as "not really a war".

At the beginning of the war, Britain had 60 Tomahawk missiles, each one costing £500,000, but so many have been fired in three months that more have to be ordered to keep bombing Libya.

Criticise the war and you are accused of not caring about Libyan civilians, or supporting a dictator. But it our government which is bombing Libyan civilians and fond of supporting dictatorships. 

The UN security council resolution in March authorising the use of force in Libya specifically excludes "a foreign occupation force of any form on any part of Libyan territory". So explain this video.

UK Student leaders have launched a statement condemning the bombing of Libya as immoral and against international law and calling on the government to stop the war immediately.

The time has come to test the latest ceasefire offer by accepting it in principle and working out a monitoring mechanism. The best way to protect Libya's desperate civilians is for Nato to reverse its mistaken policy of taking sides.

The Nato intervention was supposedly to limit civilian casualties, but it is making a prolonged conflict and heavy civilian loss of life inevitable.

The pretence that the RAF is merely "protecting the civilian population" by its bombing of Libya is defied each night as it roams Tripoli with a list of Gaddafi family residences and hideaways to attack.

General Sir David Richards, head of the British army want to extend the war on Libya with the destruction of its infrastructure. We know from Iraq and Gaza what that will mean for the Libyan people.

Europe and America's military intervention in Libya's civil strife – supposedly for humanitarian reasons – has created its own humanitarian crisis.

Tony Blair’s “deal in the desert” with Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in 2003 opened the way for the deals that really mattered – British contracts in oil, construction and arms.

The sheer cynicism is breathtaking. We're expected to believe that the leaders with bloody hands in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan are defending the people in Libya.

What we are witnessing is a power struggle between two wings of a repressive, dictatorial regime, and not a struggle for democracy, human rights and the Libyan people's prosperity, writes Abdel al-Bari Atwan.

The fierce Iraqi and Afghan resistance didn't fit the neocons plan at all, says David Swanson. Neither did the nonviolent revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt. But taking over Libya still makes perfect sense in the neoconservative worldview.
