The U.S. should avoid setting up a no-fly zone in Libya unless this becomes “absolutely necessary to prevent a bloodbath.” Obama should resist making this “big commitment” because of myriad pitfalls and complications. Moreover, the rebels will eventually “be forced to build a government out of a nation of divided and sometimes hostile tribes.” Success will be easier if the victory is entirely their own. “The best result for the United States would be a stable, progressive Libyan government built by Libyans on their own.”
