On Monday, German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle expressed deep concerns about the no-fly zone.
Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle: *”I have reiterated on behalf of the German government that we remain very skeptical about a military intervention in Libya. A no-fly zone is a military intervention and always has to be considered with the consequences. I do not want Germany to be drawn into a long-lasting war in North Africa.”*
Meanwhile, British Prime Minister David Cameron has openly backed a no-fly zone and rejected charges that it amounts to an act of war.
Prime Minister David Cameron: *”I think what we’re seeing in Libya is different, in that it’s an uprising of a people against a leader. And it’s quite a condition, and no—different, and no one is talking about invasions or boots on the ground or the rest of it.”*
