well i think precisely but let's go back to the question of who does jordan mean when he says we is we the united states is the united states going to intervene here and take out coffee and install a new government that government would have no legitimacy and i think here the legitimacy of what the security council has dumble rest and large measure on the even handedness of the implementation and also on who does it in this case the u.s. is already engaged in two wars on the on the ground in the middle east it's overtaxed at this point this effort really should be led by the arab world by the arab league and we have two arab powers certainly have the air ability to do it egypt and saudi arabia the question is where is where they what we see right now is the arab league or they're going to be supporting this and the europeans by the ukase for france know how and who are good for they also have an issue here they're much closer to libya they have to deal with regulatory the american people we have a poll that came out that said sixty five percent of the american people were not for any s
