From the "more on this story" link at the bottom left:

US President Barack Obama, speaking during a visit to Brazil, said the US was taking "limited military action" as part of a "broad coalition".

"We cannot stand idly by when a tyrant tells his people there will be no mercy," he said.

But what if a hundred tyrants told their people there would be no mercy?

Team America: World Police to the rescue!

What is happening in Libya is a tragedy. But its not our responsibility to defend the Libyan people. World governments have stolen from their people to fund the war against Libya's government. Of course I would be OK with a defense force funded by donations.

The only military action I would see as compatible with an Objectivist minarchy would involve snatching up Quadafi, charging him with terrorism against American citizens, and popping him in Guantanamo to await a military tribunal followed by an execution.
