77. But it is just about Libya
The specific finding of the UN Security Council was that "the situation in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya continues to constitute a threat to international peace and security".

The military action is only limited to Libya. If, as you suggest, there is one larger revolution, which would unquestionably be a threat to international peace and security, why not expand the theater of operations? Give the coalition a broader spectrum of options to deal with what would certainly be an incredibly complex situation?

I'm really not trying to be aggressively argumentative, I just think it's a vitally important question as to whether the UN Security Council acted legally.
