We have watched this mad man terrorize our family and friends for 40 years. Enough is enough! This council may not be the best, but it is a definite start that we have confidence in that they are doing the humane and right thing. -

Taking sweet time to recognize what, in your heart, is true and right will only delay the crisis in Libya further. I, a US-born citizen (a voter), urge you Mr. President to recognize the Transitional National Council of a Free Libya.REPORT COMMENTS

March 30, 2011 In response to President Obama?s speech of March 28th, 2011 on the Libyan crisis, we the undersigned would like to express and reaffirm our support to the President and his administration for their decisive action to protect the Libyan people from the brutality of the Gaddafi regime and to prevent an escalation of the current violence and humanitarian crisis. The brave actions of the United States and its coalition partners through the successful implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 have saved thousands of innocent lives and prevented imminent large-scale destruction and disaster in Libya. While President Obama has clearly outlined the objectives of the mission in Libya in a two pronged approach of militarily dealing with the immediate threat to defenseless civilians and then the ultimate goal of removing Gaddafi from power through diplomatic pressure, certain elements in media and political circles persist in promoting misinformation in order to cast doubt on American policy and discredit the Libyan opposition aspiring for a democratic regime change. In response to some of the questions being raised and the loose mischaracterizations being floated about as fact, we would like to highlight the following points. ? In the absence of a legitimate government reflecting the will of the Libyan people, the Transitional National Council (TNC) was formed in Benghazi to temporarily assume the responsibility of day-to-day operations and implementation of law and order in the liberated parts of Libya. It also serves as the only existing legal representative of the Libyan people in the world community until a new, democratically elected government is established. ? Chaired by the widely respected former Libyan Justice Minister, Mustafa Mohamed Abdul Jalil, the Transitional National Council consists of 31 members, including lawyers, judges, professors and other ordinary citizens representing all the regions of Libya. Among their ranks, are also former members of the regime that have rejected Gaddafi and joined the revolution. The TNC has made its leaders accessible to all foreign governments seeking dialogue and engagement including the United States and Great Britain, and has secured the official recognition of France and Qatar. ? The immediate goal of the TNC is the removal of Gaddafi from power and the transition to a democratic government. The TNC has been transparent about its policies and vision for a post-Gaddafi Libya and has released a detailed declaration to that effect that lays out a framework for a future that is consistent with fundamental American ideals and values. ? This declaration by the TNC includes the establishment of a ?national constitution based on the respect of human rights, the guarantee of civil and public liberties, the separation of power, an independent judiciary and the creation of national institutions that provide the basis for wide and pluralist political partREPORT COMMENTS
