President Obama's address to the nation on Libya

In President Obama's address, he talks about how 10 days ago, having tried to end the violence without using force, the international community offered Gaddafi a final chance to step down to his campaign of killing, or face consequences.  Rather than to step down, his forces continued to advance, bearing down on the city of Benghazi.  Benghazi is home to approximately 700,000 men, women and children who sought their freedom from fear.  It also made me feel so bad for Gaddafi's people when I was informed how Gaddafi referred to his people as rats, and then threatened to go door to door to inflict punishment.  Gaddafi is the same man who hung his people in the streets and he is the same man who killed dover 1,000 people in one day.  Within one month, the United States has worked with international partners to mobilize a  broad coalition, secure an international mandate to stop an advancing army, and to establish an NO Fly Zone with our allies and partners.  NATO has also taken command of the enforcement of the arms embargo and the No Fly Zone.  Obama also explained how NATO will work with the international community community to provide assistance to the people of Libya, who need food and medical care.

I how Gaddafi is treating his people is insane.  This man is crazy and needs to be stopped before he continues to do more.  I am still stuck on the fact that he calls his people rats.  This tyrant is killing off his people and re fuses to step down.  My heart goes out to the people in Libya and I pray that this madness will soon come to a complete stop.  Tomorrow, Clinton will go to London, where she will meet with the Libyan opposition and consult with more than thirty nations.  If Gaddafi refuses to step down from power, then the people of Libya will remain in danger.  Gaddafi is ruthless and must be stopped.
