No they are an attempt to keep Ghadafi from attacking his people with air attacks.

You should read closer. The only poeople we were "protecting" with the first 111 missile strikes were allied pilots. Attacking air "defense" systems when no rebel force and no "innocent civilians" have any planes is not "protecting innocent civilians" and it's not hurting Ghadafi's ability to make air strikes. I'ts simply killing gadhafi forces and perhaps some really innocent civilians...with co;;ateral damage.
You cannot provide evidence that we have "protected" and "innocent civilians" at all. But I can provide evidence that we have killed some.
Then there is the question of just who are the rebels forces? No one seems to know. But, one thing is certain, they are combatants, not "innocent civilians". -
U.S. rescue chopper shoots six Libyan villagers as they welcome pilots of downed Air Force jet

Six Libyan villagers are recovering in hospital after being shot by American soldiers coming in to rescue the U.S. pilots whose plane crash-landed in a field.
The helicopter strafed the ground as it landed in a field outside Benghazi beside the downed U.S. Air Force F-15E Eagle which ran into trouble during bombing raid last night.
And a handful of locals who had come to greet the pilots were hit - among them a young boy who may have to have a leg amputated because of injuries caused by a bullet wound.
