I love how the rebels set up a new central bank way back in March. Yeah, ...like the rag-tag rebels know a damn thing about central banking or setting up a new national oil company.

You seem to forget that there was a vote at the UN security council concerning airstrikes to protect Libyan's from Ghadafi's military forces and the final vote was 10 in favor 0 against and 5 non votes, so yes the UN was aware of and voted for the use of Airstrikes to protect Libyan civilians and destroy Libya's military ability to take action against their own people.
"all necessary measures short of an occupation force" to protect civilians.
