Barack Obama yesterday called for an end to violence in Libya and stressed the need to coordinate with the international community to take action against Muammar Gaddafi, but announced no concrete measures the United States rather than shipping in the coming days emissaries to Europe and the rest of the world to exchange proposals.
Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton will travel next Monday at a meeting of foreign ministers in Geneva to discuss the situation in Libya. With the same goal, his number two, William Burns, will launch tomorrow a tour of several Arab and European capitals. "This is not just a U.S. problem," Obama said in a statement read at the White House, "is the whole world is watching." "In a situation as volatile as this, it is imperative that the world speaks with one voice," he added.
The U.S. president said that "suffering and bloodshed" is happening in Libya "is unacceptable." He repeated the argument applied to other surveys in the Arab world that America "supports universal rights are not negotiable and must be respected in all countries." But sat in his speech that there was an ingredient mentioned in relation to Egypt and Bahrain: the need for action by the international community.
In the above cases Obama has taken the initiative, in the case of Libya said his Government was considering "a wide range of options, but you want to discuss beforehand with Europe and other Arab countries. Obama runs the risk of being criticized for weakness in the U.S., as it began to happen last night shortly after his words.
But this is how far you're willing to go so far to deal with the situation in Libya. The White House said after the president's statement that the administration "does not appear publicly handling the events in Libya." That's one of the reasons for the extreme caution of Obama. The image of America can emerge stronger change in the Arab world if it manages to do the right things, but can also deteriorate further if you take the wrong decisions.
Obama wanted to move all the attention yesterday to the citizens of the countries concerned. "Change is happening in the region is being driven by the peoples of the region. This change does not represent the work of the United States or any other foreign power, represents the aspirations of the people who are looking for a better life," he said.
Obama's words express on the one hand, their confidence in the nature of the protest movement and the opportunity it provides to create a bright future. But they are also the admission that their chances of intervention are very limited. The president appealed yesterday to the European Union, the Arab League and the UN as the institutions they need to find a response to the killing in Libya.
The tradition shows that when a U.S. president comes to these organizations is that they lack the will or capacity to act on their own.
