The president said, "Left unchecked, we have every reason to believe that Gadhafi would commit atrocities against his people. Many thousands could die. A humanitarian crisis would ensue. The entire region could be destabilized, endangering many of our allies and partners."
Saddam committed atrocities against the Iraqi people for how many decades, and the world did nothing?
"These terms are not subject to negotiation. If Gadhafi does not comply with the resolution, the international community will impose consequences, and the resolution will be enforced through military action."
How many times over the decades did Saddam get this warning and nothing was ever done???
