NATO is certainly pushing the envelope of the UN mandate (protect civilians by "all means necessary"). Some might say NATO has overstepped the mandate.
But the bottom line, when the UN and Arab League agree that attacks by the military on unarmed civilians will be met with a response, be prepared for the consequences.
Ghaddafi had choices, like Mubarik in Egypt and Abidine Ben Ali in Tunisia. He chose to continue to attack his own people.
