LIBYA, North Africa and the Middle East

[Rastus]

I thought I'd resurface this just in case there are those out there who thought wacking Libya’s Col. Gadhafi was a good thing.

A lot of people say hindsight is 20-20.  I say that most of those people either have no discernment whatsoever or they don't want to think like a responsible adult and use the hindsight saying as a crutch to excuse themselves.

Ponder what you thought and why.  If you thought wacking Gadhafi was going to lead to good things critcally examine yourself, why you thought that and then think about how to do better next time.

Any time you jsut take out a dictator., you have a power void that needs to be filled.  Often its filled by people you would rather not have in power.

Yes, but this time it was easy to know because Tunisia had fallen to muslim brotherhood and Egypt was being destabilized at the same time.  It didn't take a rocket scientist to know what was coming to this vacuum.  It was abundantly clear this was regional destabilization at work.

The rebels our government supported to remove Ghadafi had al Qaeda links. Kind of makes me want to ask "Are we fighting Eurasia or East Asia this week?"

Whenever these peasants get a say they vote for oppression, hate and violence.
Any body remember the vote in Gaza ?
The one that put Hamas in power.
Our real enemies are in Washington.

Our real enemies are in Washington.

And our own countrymen who are either too lazy to be responsible thinking adults or who are voting to gain a free lunch for themselves.
