NATO/US moving forces closer to Libya in case they're needed?

I cannot fathom how they've figured out that western forces need to step up pressure on Qaddafi.  One by one, Middle-Eastern nations are falling by popular public overthrow without need of force.  Even though Libya is out of control with violence, there is no need to push Qaddafi by western military threat -- in fact it could be counter-productive.

Let the people do it themselves; there is no need to move US military closer to Libya to engage a no-fly zone.  Every time Qaddafi's supporters kill their own people, they lose support and weaken their grip.  Let's not give Qaddafi and his supporters the room to expand the rhetoric to an anti-US sentiment, because you know he will.
