Guardian: Reports that the UK and France have produced a draft UN Resolution that would place No Fly Zone over Libya, the resolution faces a veto from Russia and China. This is the central problem of the UN, its nice place for a talking shop but the last time it was of any use was during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962, and that was a PR stunt by the Kennedy Administration. At the end of the day the decision is down to the Oval Office, does President Obama have the stomach to be the leader of the last Super Power. Thus far with many thousands being killed in Libya the Oval has had tough words but it could just be hot air without any real action, thus will Obama give the word and have a No Fly Zone, if yes he gets re-elected in 2012, if no it could be another Bush 44 as in Jeb Bush.

The Destruction of Zawiyah by Gaddafi Forces
Telegraph: Reports on the destruction of the Libyan City of Zawiyah by Security Forces loyal to Colonel Gaddafi, the Gaddafi Forces have used tanks, airplanes to fight the lightly armed rebels. One has to tip the hat to the brave rebels in Zawiyah, they are holding out against brutal power, the use of tanks and air power against one’s own people is a war crime, lets hope the images from Zawiyah force the UN to grant a No Fly Zone and NATO approves a No Road Zone to protect the rebels, otherwise the rebels face being wiped out. This is a battle to the death, there can only be one winner, the loser gets killed.
