Power is a big human rights activist who persuaded Obama that unless he acted the world would witness a massacre by Gaddhafi that would rival the Rwanda genocide. That genocide is a blot on the Clinton legacy to this day. So this was mostly about avoiding the mistake made by the Clinton's in the
90's. As is mostly the case with this administration it's all about form over substance.
