Yeah "the internet is petitioning"... Talk about the dumb making stupid jokes about stuff they don't understand.
It's all well and good is people, even internet people, want to do some good. Hell, I'd prefer Gaddafi not bomb civilians too. But, if you think an internet petition asking the United Nations to pass a (non-binding?) resolution creating a no fly zone on Libya is an effective solution for the problem, well, you and me aren't going to see eye to eye on geopolitics.
