Americans will support a President who makes the case for military force based on American interests and values. In Libya, that means deposing Gadhafi and his henchmen so that his regime doesn't survive as a vindictive supporter of global terrorism; to show that the U.S. will stand for Arab freedom when it has the means to make a difference and can do so at reasonable cost; and now that NATO and the U.S. are implicated, to show that both can't be defeated by a crackpot authoritarian and his ruthless sons...
It would be hugely costly — for this country’s credibility, for the future of NATO and for the people of Libya — if Congress were to force President Obama to abandon military operations over Libya. However, Mr. Obama cannot evade his responsibility, under the War Powers Act, to seek Congressional approval to continue the operation.We support the Libya campaign, although like many Americans we are frustrated that it has dragged on this long. We are eager to hear from the president about what additional nonmilitary pressures he is rallying to finally end Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi’s murderous reign.

If Washington were to cut off its support now, the NATO campaign would unravel. The cost to relations with Europe and the unity of the military alliance would be enormous — likely felt all the way to Afghanistan.
…
Partisan brinkmanship or not, Mr. Obama doesn’t have a choice. He needs to go to Congress and make his case. Congress then needs to authorize continued American support for NATO’s air campaign over Libya.
I have deep respect the American’s democracy, no matter what still the most powerful country in this earth. It is a brand magic, a great and priceless commodity which promises the prosperity. Schools around the world, children are learning American history from their primary school along with their own history. No another countries has the grand privilege so far. So most of world educated population grow with America hate and love relationship- well yes if you don’t love someone there is no hate either- with the US. China never catches up America unless they change their political systems and they have no Google no Facebook…etc. how utterly a great to see this check and balance democracy, that gives the President Obama most powerful man in the earth yet when come to terms of democracy the American people calling the shoot, how wonderful systems is that? It tells who is the Boss. How delightful to see this kind of magic in this midst of the Arab Spring. With deep respect the US House of Congress, they should not divided and to send mixed signals to the American enemies and allies around the world. It is degrading the American brand magic! The World says the Yankee should do it better!
