Thomas Jefferson said: “Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms (of government) those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny”

Joe been on this earth 40 years and remember watching the news of the same kind of stuff....in the same darn region. I guess this is where the world gets the perception of "Americans" sticking their noses in everything or the world police. You make a point though. But guess it all comes down to the oil maybe, since dipstick is doing everything possible to keep from drilling in our own country.

this is a deep deep subject with so many angles from so many opressors

The part that gripes My a*s is that We don't really know just WHO will be in power if Kadafi is overthrown. Sure enough Kadafi has been a thorn in Our side most of the time He has been in power, but the last few years He has been behaving [on an international level] reasonably well. We well may be helping Our future enemy gain power, and He may be more of a problem than Kadafi is now.

One may take the moral high ground, and say that any leader of a country who kills off a part of His population must be deposed, but that covers a lot of leaders in a lot of countries, and many of them We seem to care little about.

We found out in Iraq that replacing facist leaders in Arabic countries with elected ones is not as easy as it might have sounded.

These Libyan rebels have not been elected, and might or might not represent the majority of the citizens.

Was watching 60 minutes tonight and the interview with Lara Logan, the reporter that was gang raped in Egypt by the rebels as they were rejoicing Mubarak's ousting.
The rebels now in charge don't look all that comforting either.

Not to worry Joe, President Obama said that the rebels in Libya were led by professionals, you know doctors and lawyers, they appear to be credible he said.
Professionals would never hurt anyone, well except for muhommed atta, the 9/11 hijacker ringleader engineer, son of a lawyer, or maybe nidal hasan, the Dr of psychiatry and Ft. Hood mass murderer, or Ted Bundy, degree in Psychology but dropped out of law school to pursue a serial killing career, naw, professionals could never hurt anyone.

Agree that we have more than enough problems here and really haven't shown that we can solve them, much less other countries problems. The devil we know may be better than the devil we don't know.

Millions of Americans feel the same as you and I, enough of the pro-muslim "B_HO" funded war mongering. If people dont see Oboma for what he is up to by now "the sheep" will when their time comes. Lets help the Muslim brotherHOOD take over and carry out the Konan--- Oh wait that is what this temporary president is up to. 

"Kill the Saturday worshippers then move on to the Sunday ones" Nice twisted religious logic???
