34. The reasons why I disagree with this Libya action are...
Edited on Mon Mar-21-11 11:35 PM by Dappleganger
1) Our track record SUCKS.

2) We cannot afford it. Our country is broke, we still are involved with two other wars with no feasible end in sight (the goalposts keep being moved).

3) We are not the world police.

4) The people in this country who regularly GET OFF on war don't know how to stop. The War Machine is as big as or even greater than, Big Oil.. Better still, they are mixed up together and dependent upon the other.

There are other reasons as well, but those are my big ones. If they want to call superman, fine--call him--BUT WE AIN'T SUPERMAN ANYMORE.
