Misrata Rebels call for NATO Troops

Guardian: Reports that Eastern Rebels in the city of Misrata are calling for NATO troops to be sent to save the people of Misrata. The question that has to be asked in Washington D.C, London and Paris is what will be the reaction by the public should the Gaddafi forces retake full control Misrata and wipe out the rebels, do the Allies want another Bosnia on their hands. It can be argued it better to get troops on the ground NOW and deal the legal and political consequences later, how may images of the innocent getting killed does it take for the West to take full action, what is the point of the UN if does not protect those that cant protect themselves. Shame on US, UK and France for waiting, some things are above political calculation.
