Right, well we sure have done more than the US.
We are providing dorms and tents for the thousands of northern Africans escaping that region and entering Italian soil. We have sent a ship that has 2 missions on hand, to reach Libya and Tunisia. The ships are filled with all the necessary goods for 4000 people, including water, rice, and other primary food goods.
We sent medical supplies, medical emergency stands and 40 medical kits for emergency procedures. What has your country done, other than threaten a military mission, spy the regions fly zone with your awacs, and secretly ask other middle eastern countries to smuggle weapons into Libya to start a civil war (because that's what will ultimately happen if you smuggle weapons to take sides).

We also told the US to calm the fuck down.. but ofcourse that call was ignored.

As you may know, Italy is abiding to UN rules, and as such we are abiding to Nato interventions when commanded to, we have already accepted to follow Nato's objectives.

Thats great Italy. You're so holy, keeping those illegal immigrants who are practically invading your soil in droves, in camps. Aren't yall such great people?

It couldn't possibly be in your own self interest to pick them up before they formed armed, hungry mobs in your territory yeah? Perish the thought

You've got to round them up early otherwise they get everywhere. Real spiffy dude. Last I checked the world was pissed at america for sticking our noses in things that were none of our business. So now, when we don't stick our beaks in, you're still pissed off at us? We don't like how the UN does things (or rather doesn't do them), big deal. We aren't obligated to Libya in any fashion.

Plus if you hadn't noticed, rebel factions taking over entire cities and attacking any military or government entity that approaches after demanding the abdication of their dictator counts as civil war. The populace is at war with itself and it's government. If we did arm the rebels (which i'm pretty certain is a bad idea. Look at the taliban. Who gave them guns? yeah thats right, we did) it would be evening the odds. Same with the no fly zone, that simply makes it a ground war instead of a one sided air conflict. All those things give the rebels a chance to FREE THEMSELVES, rather than requiring that the world FREE THEM. We (nato or the US) don't always need to step in guns blazing, nor should we. Look at somalia in the 90's. Getting involved in a civil war is a bad idea, right up there with getting in a land war in asia, or trying to invade russia in the winter.
