I would say to everyone "REMAIN CALM!" Per the article in the OP, it's speculation at this point as to knowing exactly what's going to happen in Libya as far as what form of government takes shape when Ghadaffi (spell check) is either removed from power by force or he leaves of his own accord if he leaves at all. More to the point, without knowing exactly what the U.N. resolution states, you really can't determine for sure what's going to happen because we don't know what the resolution actually calls for. (I tried to find the resolution calling for Libyan air strikes but it's not posted at the U.N.'s website yet.)
For those interested, I found all three UN resolutions concerning recent events in Libya.
U.N. Resolution 1970 (2011) - imposes sanctions against Libya.
U.N. Resolution 1971 (2011) - imposes no-fly zone
U.N. Resolution 1973 (2011) - strengthens arms embargo already in force under UNR 1970
the ATTORNEY GENERAL weighs in?
essentially calling for REGIME CHANGE?

I'm curious as to why the anti-war crowd isn't already in the streets.

no you got it wrong see when the W.M.D.'s fell flat GW changed his tune and made it about (oh we are sooo concerned about what Sadam is doing to his people we need to go to war with him) and it worked so now Obama figured it worked once it'll work again and is using the exact same line to sell this war to the public. WTF!!!
You forgot the main reason, the reason that really sold the war--the threat to the US that had to be dealt with immediately.GWB gave three reasons for attacking Iraq. All three are undeniable. Genocide, Iraqs ties to global terrorism, and Iraqs refussal to comply with the UN resolutions regarding disposition of his WMDs (all 17 of them, which he repeatedly ignored).
Many feel Eric Holder's presence in the Obama Administration has also got to end.

Well...ya know...if you ask every elected democrat official from 1992 til after Bush declared war (or at least read their comments) on Iraq, Hussein, and their possession and use of WMDs you would certainly find that every democrat supported that notion...right up until it was no longer politically expedient to do so. Thats why I hate politicians and mindless ideologues.

What's the definition of insanity again? Trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results? We all may very well be insane.
GWB gave three reasons for attacking Iraq. All three are undeniable. Genocide14 years prior and we supplied the gas , Iraqs ties to global terrorismwe now know didn't exist, and Iraqs refussal to comply with the UN resolutions regarding disposition of his WMDsbecause he had none, the WMD program had been shut down (all 17 of them, which he repeatedly ignored).
I have a feeling people are still waiting to see how far it's going to go.
At leaste they didn't lie to us and concoct some ridiculous story about Weapons of Mass Destruction or something silly like that.

Lying or not, it's improper use of my military.
GWB administration lied to the country.
The threat was that Hussein would risk national obliteration and use—directly or via proxies—the WMD stockpiles he had to launch an attack the US with the potential to be more devastating than 9-11.What was that threat again?
