The UN imposed a no-fly zone on Libya, which I think (and I'm guessing Libyans would agree with me) is a good thing. See short article here.
However, what troubles me, aside from Gaddafi / Qaddafi / Ghadafi being a crazy person is that Brazil, Russia, India, and China all abstained from voting on the issue (along with Germany). As the BRIC countries have grown, they've been asking for a greater say in world affairs, from the IMF, to the G-20, to the UN. If you want more responsibility, you need to be worthy of it. Vote yes or vote no and then explain why.
True dat homie. But does that let other countries off the hook? Did you ever catch what we were offering them to pause settlement building back in October?
Since 1990, America has cast more Security Council vetoes than any country, many of them favoring Israel.
