Heading the investigation [...]
It is bewildering that those who deny we are bound by any moral responsibility to intervene in Libya simultaneously argue that once we grant the desperate calls of the bloodied and besieged, we thereby morally commit ourselves to an endless, all-out war. Hours before the U.N. Security Council would vote on Resolution 1973, a morning [...]
