I am actually of two minds about Libya and NATO (US) involvement.
Edited on Wed Mar-30-11 04:22 PM by Cascadian
I have been sitting on the fence about this one. I hate Gadaffi and I have no respect for a leader who uses jets and tanks to murder people who's only crime was a want for freedom. On top of that the man is psychotic. Perhaps it was right that Obama made the decision that he did along with the NATO allies. However, the world is filled with many dictators who jail and murder their own people on a daily basis. I tend to think if Libya's only export was cashew nuts instead of oil, nobody would even bother. My other big concern is that it appears that we and our NATO allies are preparing for an invasion. If I remember correctly, the Libyan rebels do not want ground forces there. No. I do not think they want them there either. So what's the deal with that?
