Germany warns of lengthy war in Libya

The German foreign minister has defended Berlin's decision not to take part in the Western invasion of Libya, warning of a protracted conflict in turmoil-hit country.
"It is not because we have some sort of lingering soft spot for [Libyan ruler Muammar] Gaddafi's system that we decided not to send German troops to Libya, but because we also have to see the risks of a lengthy mission," AFP quoted Guido Westerwelle as saying on Sunday.
