Rebels in Libya are calling for international assistance as forces loyal to Moammar Gaddafi surround a rebel stronghold and batter the loose organization of resisters, according to NPR. The US wants the UN Security Council to approve broad international military intervention to halt Gaddafi s assault on the rebels, but does not want to put US troops on the ground there. Opposition fighters say they are prepared to hold their ground, but some analysts say the rebels could be out-gunned by loyalist forces.

Certainly won't receive help in overthrowing a murderous dictator from the USA. With the Libyan crisis, nuclear meltdown in Japan, economic crisis at home, and terrorist unrest all over the Mid-east, the leader of the free world, our President, needs to get out of town - quick: he's off to Latin America to see if he can repair some of the relations he damaged a couple years ago. Maybe all the other stuff will go away before he gets back so he doesn't need to get involved. If not he'll have to take is family on another golfing vacation.
