saddled with it if/as other nations pull out. As some have told me, if one is against getting involved to bring a guy like this and his regime down, then they have never lived under a dictatorship.

That is the job of the Libyan people. We are leveling the playing field for them.

I hope they take Qadhafi out now.

5. Of course you support it.
Nothing like another war to be paid in American blood and treasure.

18. Take it easy. I have been protesting, marching since civil rights.
When you go against the government in power don't expect them to roll over and play nice, I have the lumps to prove it. Remember this when it comes time for our push back, it is coming.

15. It's only a superficial irony; human interaction largely follows reciprocity.
Edited on Sat Mar-19-11 05:31 PM by LoZoccolo
Also, game theory experiments bear out that tit-for-tat with occasional forgiveness is an effective strategy for promoting cooperation.

If someone were to kidnap someone and keep them in a cage, would you protest the "hypocrisy" of keeping someone in a cage to teach them that keeping someone in a cage was wrong, and demand that they not be sent to jail?

19. Kidnapping is wrong and thats what trials are for.
Killing is wrong for both sides. But I understand your point.

17. Will you feel that way when Gaddafi is parading our pilots through the streets?
Sorry, but I have to take the same attitude on Libya that I did on Iraq, and simply say that it's none of our business.

23. P.S. If the Wobblies suceed in unionizing Jimmy John's I might never go there again.
They have a history of promoting sabotage, which in the case of food service might mean putting bodily substances in the sandwich. Who knows? If it was the SEIU or some other union which didn't promote making victims of customers I would probably support them, and the fact that they're having trouble getting established might have something to do with their extreme tactics. They are actually doing the workers a disservice by being there instead of another union.
