The War in Libya may be the first armed conflict in North Africa involving foreigners since World War II when the region saw the likes of Rommel, Montgomery, or “Monty”, and El Alamein, but it continues to provide a playing field for the U.S. to police the region through use of its techo gadgets.
This weekend the target was the third largest city in Libya after Tripoli and Benghazi, Mirata. NATO said predator strikes hit a multiple rocket launcher at 11:00AM Greenwich Mean Time. This was in response to Gadhafi attacking the city of Mirata on the coast using tanks, artillery, and rocket launchers to bombard the center of the city and kill lots of civilians.
Another stroke took place on Sunday. The British and French may be using planes, but the U.S. has to do no more than provide two unmanned drones to clean up the government troops.
Our first big techo gadget in armed warfare was the invention of the atomic bomb at the end of World War II.
