Why no, No-Fly Zones over, Sudan, Belarus et all

If there is and there is a No-Fly Zone over Libya
Why are there no, No-Fly Zones over, Sudan, Belarus, Burma, Indonesia, Israel, Turkey, China, Chechnya, Iran, Iraq, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Côte d'Ivoire, Sri Lanka, Syria, Yemen, (the list is endless). All these countries are guilty of past and continuing atrocities against their populations far in excess of anything that has happened is happening in Libya.
Placing Sudan first on the list is deliberate, Sudan's president Ahmad Al-Bashir is an indicted war criminal there is an international arrest warrant outstanding, but no likelihood of it ever being enforced. Comparing like for like, Colonel Gaddafi president of Libya to president Ahmad Al-Bashir of Sudan, Gaddafi is a boy scout.
Do have a think about what is going on here, is the international war on Libya, just more payback for the Lockerbie bombing.
Please be clear 'Freemovement' abhors the Libyan regime and all the other regimes named, but the stink of what is happening here, take ones breath away.

So you're saying that if we can't sort out the problems of every country in the world, we're not allowed to sort out any?

If the government were to suddenly deploy its military into all the areas you outline, what would your reaction be? Support and agreement...or seething anger at the sudden appearance of a world war!
"Comparing like for like, Colonel Gaddafi president of Libya to president Ahmad Al-Bashir of Sudan, Gaddafi is a boy scout."
An excessively simplistic comparison to make. These two things are not the same. They are not nearly the same.
Surely you must understand that you cannot determine a political leader of a nation simply by abstracting the character of that leader in relation to the character of western leaders or other leaders. You must consider a nations history, background, culture and society. You can only understand a "leader" in terms of the environment that they have emerged from!
All leaders, whether they be elected, or unelected, are the product of their environment.
