Libya

From what I can see the resolution SourceQadhafi is a terrorist and a thug and should be killed off. What amazes me is the blatant hypocrisy of it all. I guess the way it works is that you sell some nut job lots of guns and tanks and then you blow them up, install a new nut job and then sell him lots of guns and tanks and then... Arms sales to LibyaIn reality, how can we spend $1.3 trillion/yr on our armies and not expect to shoot some of them guns?

Perhaps but they probably hate ‘us’ already. If any military action in the past decade has been justified I would say that this one is. I am surprised and encouraged that we could respond as rapidly as we did. The coalition is taking out individual tanks and trucks and buildings. Qaddafi is shelling cities.We are, as the people of the world, responsible, to some degree, for allowing tyrants like this to rule for 40 yrs. For selling him guns and buying his oil and holding his money. Some of ‘us’ more than others and the Arab states right in there. Regardless, I think it is a good thing that the rest of ‘us’ put a stop to the shelling of cities. We can talk about it after that is accomplished.I agree that the Libyans need to take their freedom themselves. I know that if I was fighting for mine I would appreciate all the help that I could get.

Hey Buzz. Did we intervene in Egypt? I mean beyond the fact that we are knee deep in Egypt. It seems to me that the Egyptians have pretty much done it themselves. I always took the book of Revelation to be one man’s dream about his own demise. It comes to us all.In my opinion, the first step toward securing your earth bound future and that of your grandchildren is to accept responsibility for it. Shouldn’t the rest of the world go after these despots and tyrants? Weed them out? Stop profiting from the misery of their subjects?At the risk of tumbling down the rabbit hole, would one world government be such a bad thing?Edited by Dogmafood, : No reason given.
