France to participate

“(CNN) — Military strikes against Libya will take place “swiftly” and France will definitely participate, government spokesman Francois Baroin said in an interview Friday with RTL radio.”

As long as there’s an agreement worked out with the provisional opposition government in Benghazi, I don’t have a problem with this, given that the alternative looks like a massacre.

But ultimately, this means being fully committed to the removal of Qaddafi, and everyone should be clear about this before starting.
