"There is still time for Colonel Gaddafi to avoid the worst, by acting without delay and without reservations in accordance with all the demands of the international community. The door of international diplomacy will open again the moment attacks end." [read]

"It's a grave decision we've had to take," Sarkozy said... "Along with our Arab, European and N. American partners, France has decided to play its part before history." Citing that, "The Libyan people need our aid and support. It's our duty." [more]
