In all honesty, I think Obama is doing the right thing here, on a few levels.

First off, we're already heavily involved in two ongoing, drawn out wars in the muslim world with Afghanistan and Iraq. We need to bring closure to both very soon.

Secondly, the American public is very weary of any further involvement in war of any kind given the past 8+ years. It would be bad for national morale, Obama's re-election plans, and the US military to take the lead in yet another muslim-related skirmish. Action needed to be taken in Libya, but it's smart to only be a player in a supportive role on this one given the current circumstances.

All that said, it will be interesting to see how much say we have in Ghaddafi's fate. Do we take the lead on his disposal/replacement despite not having the lead in his takedown?
