Gadhafi's tanks are using cities as human shields.

Libyan government troops, tanks and warplanes attacked rebels on the western and eastern fronts on Tuesday, pressing their campaign to crush an insurrection against Muammar Qaddafi. In the east, a swathe of which is under rebel control, airstrikes targeted rebel positions behind the frontline around the oil town of Ras Lanuf on the Mediterranean coast.

It would seem the citizens of Libya are seeking to stop the planes from attacking them.  According to this report the planes are stopping their advance.

...“If we didn’t have to fear the planes, we’d be advancing much more quickly,” claims Mohammed Abdel Salim, one of hundreds regular army soldiers who defected from Qaddafi’s regime in mid-February and is now helping to organize the civilian militia just west of Ras Lanuf. “We completely reject foreign troops here, but we want help against his planes.”...

It is imprudent to ask any nation to simply carry out bombing runs anywhere in Libya.  The tanks Gadhafi has ordered to the cities of Libya are among the people.  There would be devastating casualities if there were military operations within the cities.  It is out of the question.  The best resolve for the people of Libya is to continue to protect themselves if they can, be quiet in places where their cities are occupied and where they no longer have munitions to carry on and to wait patiently for the global community to respond.  They are not alone and should strategize with that as a 'fact' to them.

According to the Geneva Conventions there is to be no attacks on civilian populations.  So, the Free World has to be careful to preserve the lives of civilians while stopping Gadhafi from literally committing genocide of his own people.  Gadhafi has broken every rule in the book.

The efforts to stop the killing has to concentrate on military targets.  The 'intelligence' as to where innocent people are defending themselves is important.  They may be among some of the military instillations.  To ask them to identify themselves to any global military rescue will only reveal their locations to Gadhafi.  It is tricky.  The civilian forces need to recognize they are in a very precarious position.  The communication is probably extremely difficult.  The don't know whom they might be talking to in order to facilitate their safety.  If they mistakenly tell Gadhafi's people where they are it could be tragic.  Intelligence for NATO analysis is the best way to provide 'goals of strategy' to stop Gadhafi.
