Libya, specifically.

The use of the R2P doctrine to intervene in Libya is what got us started on this line of thinking so today we're looking at Libya, specifically.
This is a country profile from the BBC
Next is a link to an article at the Council on Foreign Relations website that specifically addresses R2P in the context of Libya.
And this link goes to an article that explains (from the writer's perspective) why Libya is a different situation from Yemen and Bahrain.
One question that lingers with me is why we didn’t step in during the stand off between political leaders in Cote d’Ivoire. I’ll be looking for articles about that for Friday.
As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts.
