    ALOY: from Mozambique, it is on fair that some African leader’s are supporting ghadaffi. I’m advicing the World not listing to them.

    Re: Andrew at 1805. I am also a taxpayer and to turn a blind eye on murder is not a good trend to get into. Especially as your reason merely seems to be "they aren’t british" or at least "they don’t live in Britain" because I assume if anything remotely akin to libya was occurring in west yorkshire you and I would be very unhappy. Surely all human life is equally valuable regardless of where someone happens to live. I may not be a fan of Cameron but I’m glad he is doing what he believes is best to ensure the safety of others.

    Martin in Norway: So what % of men in Haiti are rapists? Is it a small number of men doing a lot of rapes or are the majority of men doing it? If it is a small number of men - that can be fixed. If it's a large number of men - I really do not know how you fix that, short of drastic measures.

    Joseph in Uganda e-mails about Libya: All Allied forces must leave Gaddafi to manage his country's affairs alone. Allied forces should go and help restore peace in Somalia which is in a more sympathetic state, rather than wasting resources in Libya.

    The 2 people you had on from Tripoli are very biased, I think they must be phoning from Gaddafi’s tent. They should not be on the program!! They are spokemen for Gaddafi killing machine. Arthur Shaw, Kent

    Erik in Pomona, California e-mails: II don't support this foreign intervention into Libya. This is a society built around tribes with a strong-man as its head. Gaddafi and his people loose power, just another strongman and tribe take over. This is not a modern nation with developed government institutions. Why not just let it happen?

    Elia in Port-au-Prince tells WHYS: "In other countries women's rights are respected. Here in Haiti they are just swept under the rug. If a woman knows the person who attacks her and she goes to the police, they act as if they have been arrested, but then you find they are still free. Then they become victims all over again."

    Tombo in Virginia: The discussion between the callers from either side of Libya sound eerily similar to Republicans and Democrats here in the U.S., neither one can accept what the other says, claiming it just isn't so. Well, at least they are talking, and that's a start. God, help us all.

    Linda in US asks why the rapes in Haiti aren't reported? We put this to people in the refuge. A worker tells WHYS they are reported - but the authorities don't take the reports seriously.

    Since the start with the UNSC resolution everything is vague: nobody really knows what protect civilians means yet the coalition is bombing, so they know isn’t?
