I haven't seen that particular story. Nevertheless, armed looters hardly consitute 'resistance'.
I simply don't hold that anyone has the right to 'liberate' another country
Which is a different issue than how one characterises motives for the current intervention.
The issue of liberating someone else is problematic at lots of levels. Yet modern technology combined with jihadi absolutism makes indefinite toleration of the by-products of pathological Arab politics a bit dodgy.
