What histrionics?

Like suggesting that the limited killings in Egypt (where the military refused to support Mubarik) were comparable to the killings or potential massacre (if the UN had not acted) in Libya
How many people have to die before it meets your threshold?

Or suggesting that the limited actions were siding with (arming?) the rebels rather than protecting civilians.
It is a fact that the "limited actions" are not really limited and that the attack on ground forces that have nothing to do with preventing aircraft from flying. Attacks on the ground forces have allowed the rebel forces to advance in an offensive manner, which they otherwise would not have been able to do. How is that protecting civilians again?

Or raising the specter of rebels being al queda supporters (the same propaganda as Ghaddifi is spouting).
I didn't raise the spector, the media in the area did.
