Intervening in Libya - Rep. Kucinich’s View - NYTimes.com

There is a lawless interventionism afoot. It is redefining America. The pretext in Libya: a massacre “could” occur. A United Nations resolution to protect the people became a vehicle to overthrow the government. Civilian casualties in Libya mounted after the United States and NATO attacked.
The United States, through NATO, ignored the Constitution and violated international law with impunity. Capitalizing on the legitimate aspirations of the Libyan people, the United States and NATO (with cooperating oil interests) prevaricated to gain access to Libya’s wealth. Isn’t this what we did in Iraq?
