Ordinary people or rebels should not be armed. There will be no accountability later on what they do with these arms! They may sell these to Al Qaeda or Taleban or other terrorists. They may terrorize other people themselves with their weapons. I agree the good ones will surrender the weapons after the revolution is over but a certain percentage of the people will have other ideas to use these weapons in one way or the other.

So if the UN resolves to fight against the despot Gaddafi they should send their own troops. Afterall that is the job of the security council.
