World Service - World Have Your Say homepage Should the world leave Libya alone?

"We will never accept any foreign intervention and any foreigners who try to do so will face the same fate as Gaddafi's mercenaries."

They are the words of Libya's interim government head Mustafa Abdul Jalil.

So should the world respect his wishes? Well, you have quite a bit to say about it.

Some of you ask for a no-fly zone, which is, a form of intervention.

Jabbar wrote on Facebook

'The US should continue it's moral support of the Libyan people and should impose a no fly zone over Libya (to protect the people as well as the oil installations that may be bombed).'
