Prof. Horace Campbell: Peace & Justice Movement Should Oppose U.S.-Led Intervention in Libya

This morning on Democracy Now, Prof. Horace Campell said:

We have seen, from the testimony yesterday from, the Senate Armed Services Committee, that [U.S. Navy Adm. Mike Mullen], the chairperson of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is very uncomfortable with military intervention. [ Defense Secretary Robert M.] Gates is uncomfortable with military intervention. And [Gen. James N. Mattis] the head of the U.S. Central Command said that a no-fly zone is a prelude to military activity. And then, on the other hand, we have John McCain, Joe Lieberman, Hillary Clinton and those forces calling for a no-fly zone and military intervention.
And as you know these three have never seen a military intervention they didn't like. Remember the three musketeers were key supporters of the invasion of Iraq.
It is up to the peace and justice movement in this country to stand with one voice to say that at this point any kind of humanitarian intervention must be through the United Nations
