A Libyan plane crashes after being shot down in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi on March 19: Barack Obama has committed the US to military action against Moammar Gadhafi.

"None of this makes any sense," the columnist Andrew Sullivan wrote in his blog for The Atlantic.

Sullivan also condemned "the imperial presidency that Obama has now taken to a greater height than even Bush."
