    NATO’s only function is mutual defense, NATO support ends when a member attacks.

    Since the only thing NATO does is prevent War, the only anti-NATO stance is a pro-war stance.

        Are you referring to the coalition of some NATO members and some non-NATO members (19 nations total) enforcing a United Nations Security Council decision to make an immediate ceasefire and end the civil war in Libya?

        The one with zero troops on the ground?

        Being in NATO had no impact on the events, NATO member support was not mandatory as per the terms of NATO. The only reason they even call it a NATO operarion was because Itally would only vote in favor of the operation if NATO members were in charge instead of France.

          The reason for NATO’s involvement is quite irrelevant because they were still happy to step in and do the work. The fact is that it was ultimately NATO-led and their efforts did not lead to peace in the region.

          To call NATO’s involvement in Libya ‘anti-war’ is sheer lunacy.
