Groundwork for Intervention?: The Brits on Libya

British PM David Cameron is apparently laying the groundwork for intervention.  Perhaps more telling is one British source stating that imposing a no-fly zone is possible without US assistance or a specific UN Security Council resolution.  I'll say this for the resounding vacuity from the Obama White House during the Libya crisis: it's forced some of the Europeans to take the lead. See Sarko and France and now the UK.  See too this quote of the day: "Inaction is not a neutral position." (And this.)  Hmmm.
