Should the president be impeached over the "No Fly Zone" in Libya?

In my opinion, no, I do not think that the President should be impeached over the "no fly zone" that was put over Libya. We have obligations as the United States of America to the United Nations, NATO, and all other countries that we have treaties with. As a strong super power in the world we have treaties with so many countries in the world giving them aid and millitary support, its hard not to be engaged in a war or violence anywhere. The "no fly zone" was set up in order for us to keep our citizens who may be taking trips to surrounding countries safe. Libya is going through it's own civil and who knows, a plane with American citizens and troops could get shot down from a misfire.

Then, what about putting some troops in Libya to help them sort things out? Why not? I feel like American troops in Libya will help stop Ghadafi from being such a dumbass. As far as the arguement about the president launching missels and attacking Libya. The Constitution of United States (Article 1 Section 8) says that the power to declare war is in the hands of Congress. Well it's a dead arguement that we have declared war, we haven't. The only thing America is guilty of is putting up a "no fly zone", if any country set up a declaration of war, it was France, not America. How ignorant can our Congressmen really be? To me if we were to put troops in Libya it will be to protect innocent people from all the gunfire and turmoil that Ghadafi is causing. We are doing the right thing and out president shouldn't be impeached for trying to keep our citizens safe.

Nuff said.
