Last week, when I ordered our armed forces to help protect the Libyan people from the brutality
of Moammar Qaddafi, I pledged to keep the American people fully informed. Since then, I’ve
spoken about the limited scope and specific purpose of this mission. Today, I can report that
thanks to our brave men and women in uniform, we’ve made important progress.
As Commander in Chief, I face no greater decision than sending our military men and women
into harm’s way. And the United States should not—and cannot—intervene every time there’s a
crisis somewhere in the world.
But I firmly believe that when innocent people are being brutalized; when someone like Qaddafi
threatens a bloodbath that could destabilize an entire region; and when the international
community is prepared to come together to save many thousands of lives—then it’s in our
national interest to act. And it’s our responsibility. This is one of those times.
Our military mission in Libya is clear and focused. Along with our allies and partners, we’re
enforcing the mandate of the United Nations Security Council. We’re protecting the Libyan
people from Qaddafi’s forces. And we’ve put in place a no fly zone and other measures to
prevent further atrocities.
We’re succeeding in our mission. We’ve taken out Libya’s air defenses. Qaddafi’s forces are no
longer advancing across Libya. In places like Benghazi, a city of some 700,000 that Qaddafi
threatened to show “no mercy,” his forces have been pushed back. So make no mistake, because
we acted quickly, a humanitarian catastrophe has been avoided and the lives of countless
civilians—innocent men, women and children—have been saved.
As I pledged at the outset, the role of American forces has been limited. We are not putting any
ground forces into Libya. Our military has provided unique capabilities at the beginning, but this
is now a broad, international effort. Our allies and partners are enforcing the no fly zone over
Libya and the arms embargo at sea. Key Arab partners like Qatar and the United Arab Emirates
have committed aircraft. And as agreed this week, responsibility for this operation is being
transferred from the United States to our NATO allies and partners.
This is how the international community should work—more nations, not just the United States,
bearing the responsibility and cost of upholding peace and security.
This military effort is part of our larger strategy to support the Libyan people and hold the
Qaddafi regime accountable. Together with the international community, we’re delivering
urgent humanitarian assistance. We’re offering support to the Libyan opposition. We’ve frozen
tens of billions of dollars of Qaddafi’s assets that can help meet the needs and aspirations of the
Libyan people. And every day, the pressure on Qaddafi and his regime is increasing.
Our message is clear and unwavering. Qaddafi’s attacks against civilians must stop. His forces
must pull back. Humanitarian assistance must be allowed to reach those in need. Those
responsible for violence must be held accountable. Moammar Qaddafi has lost the confidence of
his people and the legitimacy to rule, and the aspirations of the Libyan people must be realized.

same place the Carnutes send embassadors and hostages, employing as their
mediators the Remi, under whose protection they were: they receive the same

This military effort is part of our larger strategy to support the Libyan people and hold the

The new centralized imperial form of government was gradually to take shape, with its marked
emphasis on the roles of scholars and officials, and with the Confucian doctrine suitably applied to the
exigencies of the new regime (see LU for brief discussion of Confucius). This general pattern persisted
over the next two millennia. It was also during Han that the empire expanded over most of the area of
present-day China, overland contacts with the civilizations of the West (including
Rome) were first recorded, and tremendous progress was made in the arts, science, technology and
commerce.

They are said there to learn by heart a great number of verses; accordingly
some remain in the course of training twenty years. Nor do they regard it
lawful to commit these to writing, though in almost all other matters, in
their public and private transactions, they use Greek characters. That
practice they seem to me to have adopted for two reasons; because they
neither desire their doctrines to be divulged among the mass of the people,
nor those who learn, to devote themselves the less to the efforts of
memory, relying on writing; since it generally occurs to most men, that, in
their dependence on writing, they relax their diligence in learning
thoroughly, and their employment of the memory.
And every day, the pressure on Qaddafi and his regime is increasing.
More dangerous to Christendom, however, was the increasing power of the Turks, a nomadic people from central
Asia. Originally pagan, the Turks converted to Islam, and in the course of the eleventh century, under the leadership
of the Salj‰q family, they conquered Khurasan, Persia, Iraq, and Armenia and effectively established a protectorate
over the ‘Abb¢sid caliphate in Baghdad. The weakness of the Byzantines became evident when they were defeated
by the Salj‰qs at the battle of Mantzikert in 1071.
This defeat deprived the Byzantine Empire of some of its richest recruiting grounds for the army, and it was
followed by the loss of Syria, Palestine, and most of Asia Minor. It was unlikely that the empire could recover its
losses without assistance from the West.
Our message is clear and unwavering. Qaddafi’s attacks against civilians must stop. His forces
must pull back. Humanitarian assistance must be allowed to reach those in need. Those
responsible for violence must be held accountable.

Every government, let its form be what it may, contains within itself a
principle common to all, which is, that of a sovereign power, or a power
over which there is no control, and which controls all others: and as it is
impossible to construct a form of government in which this power does
not exist, so there must of necessity be a place, if it may be so called, for
it to exist in.
In despotic monarchies this power is lodged in a single person, or
sovereign. His will is law; which he declares, alters or revokes as he
pleases, without being accountable to any power for so doing. Therefore,
the only modes of redress, in countries so governed, are by petition or
insurrection. And this is the reason we so frequently hear of insurrections
in despotic governments; for as there are but two modes of redress, this is
one of them.
Perhaps it may be said that as the united ressistance of the people is able,
by force, to control the will of the sovereign, that therefore, the
controlling power lodges in them;
but it must be understood that I am speaking of such powers only as are
constituent parts of the government, not of those powers which are
externally applied to resist and overturn it.
Qaddafi’s air defenses have been taken out, his forces are no longer advancing across the

enforcing the mandate of the United Nations Security Council. We’re protecting the Libyan
people from Qaddafi’s forces. And we’ve put in place a no fly zone and other measures to
prevent further atrocities.
We’re succeeding in our mission. We’ve taken out Libya’s air defenses. Qaddafi’s forces are no
longer advancing across Libya. In places like Benghazi, a city of some 700,000 that Qaddafi
threatened to show “no mercy,” his forces have been pushed back. So make no mistake, because
we acted quickly, a humanitarian catastrophe has been avoided and the lives of countless
civilians—innocent men, women and children—have been saved.
As I pledged at the outset, the role of American forces has been limited. We are not putting any
ground forces into Libya. Our military has provided unique capabilities at the beginning, but this
is now a broad, international effort. Our allies and partners are enforcing the no fly zone over
Libya and the arms embargo at sea. Key Arab partners like Qatar and the United Arab Emirates
have committed aircraft. And as agreed this week, responsibility for this operation is being
transferred from the United States to our NATO allies and partners.
This is how the international community should work—more nations, not just the United States,
bearing the responsibility and cost of upholding peace and security.
This military effort is part of our larger strategy to support the Libyan people and hold the
Qaddafi regime accountable. Together with the international community, we’re delivering
urgent humanitarian assistance. We’re offering support to the Libyan opposition. We’ve frozen
tens of billions of dollars of Qaddafi’s assets that can help meet the needs and aspirations of the
Libyan people. And every day, the pressure on Qaddafi and his regime is increasing.
Our message is clear and unwavering. Qaddafi’s attacks against civilians must stop. His forces
must pull back. Humanitarian assistance must be allowed to reach those in need. Those
responsible for violence must be held accountable. Moammar Qaddafi has lost the confidence of
his people and the legitimacy to rule, and the aspirations of the Libyan people must be realized.
In recent days, we’ve heard the voices of Libyans expressing their gratitude for this mission.
“You saved our lives,” said one Libyan. Said another, “Today, there is hope.”
Every American can be proud of the lives we’ve saved in Libya and of the service of our men
and women in uniform who once again have stood up for our interests and our ideals. And
people in Libya and around the world are seeing that the United States of America stands with
those who hope for a future where they can determine their own destiny.
