Well you should be pleased that they are doing something for one African state(you do realise where Libya is?) for once.
The problem with sorting out all of Africa's problems is that it is a huge continent and I doubt anyone has all the resources necessary to sort out every country in that continent that needs sorting out.Plus we then have any number of other troublespots elsewhere that again we don't have the resources to deal with all of them. Plus we would never be off the continent and there is a real danger that the UN could end up being sucked into a conflict that is never ending.Just think how long the Sudan troubles have been ongoing.
Then there is the UN itself..as someone once said getting the UN Security Council to agree to anything is like herding cats.
