Well here we we go again, bombing a country that did not invade, threaten to invade, attack or threaten to attack us. And for what? We couldn't help the people of New Orleans after Katrina. We couldn't help the people in Rwanda and the Congo, but the rightys love all war all the time, and if the righty's want all war all the time they get all war all the time.

Dear Colonial Invaders,
Let me begin by saying that Gaddafi is a heinous dictator and the world would be better off without him. With that said, Libya is a sovereign country and whatever struggle they are having, should be handled internally. The US especially should NOT be involved. We have 2 disastrous middle eastern holy wars to finish up before we go down the rabbit hole of a 3rd war. This type of interventionism is why they keep trying to bomb us. This is why they have been hell bent since the inception of Israel to destroy the US and Great Britain.
See, the allies felt guilty about the holocaust, understandably. Mostly the US, because as usual we will not get involved until our national interests are affected, i.e. Pearl Harbor. If we had intervened sooner, the war probably would have ended sooner and far fewer Jews would've died. Seeking absolution, the State of Israel was created. This had nothing to do with Biblical prophecy or anything else. Unfortunately, there was a group of people inhabiting the land where the State of Israel would be created, the Palestinians. They were forcibly removed from their homes, a place where they have lived for generations and reduced to living in tents. So, that's kind of why Palestinians want to destroy Israel. They want to reclaim their homes. The US propped up Israel with money to fund a military, tanks, planes and the Palestinians have rocks and religious zealotry. When you have nothing to lose, then anything is possible, suicide bombings, flying planes into buildings, etc...
Why do we really care about Gaddafi killing his own people? Answer: We don't. We didn't when Saddam did it, we didn't when Idi Amin did it, Kim Jung Il in North Korea, or our lien holder China and their numerous human rights violations or all the dictators of the world. Do we care about the oppression of women in Saudi Arabia? No, of course not. When you deal with the devil, better the devil you know. Just like we don't care anymore about Haiti, Chile, New Orleans and in about a month we won't care about Japan. It will be back to normal, more Lindsay, more Kim Kardashian, and more greed. Maybe that's my cynicism talking... So using the wording "no fly zone" is to trick people that this isn't a war. You can fool some people, but you can't fool me. A better investment might be Japan, they have a more stable economy, technologically more advanced, and they make the best video games. Plus, there aren't many terrorist cells launched from Japan. The worst they have is a half blind cult leader named Aum Shunrikyo. Aren't the global markets in a fragile state with the price of oil rising? Why would we want to add more debt to our already hefty deficits to continue and play world police? In history, every country that had a revolution and overthrew tyrannical rule were outgunned but with organization. and uniting under the banner of a just cause they were able to prevail. Except for the French who helped America during our Revolution, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette got beheaded for their trouble and Napoleon came to power. We tried the brainless knee jerk reaction to this type of action and look what it got us, 10 yrs in Afghanistan, 8 years in Iraq, Bin Laden is still free, and America in economic, cultural, scientific, and intellectual decline.
My predictions: Gaddafi will violate the cease fire, which will cause ground troops to move in, this will probably get ugly and Gaddafi won't relinquish power unless he is killed. His flunkies will more than likely turn on him when the planes are overhead, but the loss of life will be great. Obama pledged no ground troops, but we shouldn't be there period under any circumstances. The involvement level is based on oil distribution. 32% goes to Italy, 14% to Germany, 10% to France and China and 5% to the US. That's probably why we are only playing a "supporting" role in this conflict, but of course we will bear most of the blame. These people will seethe with anger and a spectacular terrorist attack will follow that will make 9/11 seem like a tea party. We should all be sick of war, sick to death of playing nation building, spreading our corrupt brand of bastardized freedom throughout the middle east. So apparently, the deficit isn't as bad as predicted. The billions needed to send relief to Japan, and fund Holy Wars is readily available, but helping the unemployed or provide health care to AMERICANS, that's an unreasonable burden that will affect millenia of future generations. The hypocrisy is astounding. It appears that Bush actually won our hearts and minds...
Maybe Gaddafi could intervene and stop Wal-Street from the non stop assault on the American people. I mean he's a snappy dresser, his dress and hat combo look like something from my grandmothers couch and he has that caterpillar/ pubic hair sprouting on his upper lip. He could be on a website for botched celebrity plastic surgery right next to Liza Minelli, Heidi Montag, and the Cat Lady. Maybe Disney will create a "Dictators of the World" exhibit at one of the parks and have you and further war mongers sing a jaunty tune about how wonderful you guys are and how we should cower in your presence all set to the tune of "it's a small world". Thankfully this time we don't have the Sheriff from Toy Story leading the country as commander in chief. Can we just call the internal strife, battles, overthrow of dictators, etc,,,WW3 yet? Or is it too soon? There is a child born today who willbe fighting in one of these never ending conflicts when he turns 18. God bless America...I guess.
Do I think the UN or the US gives a flying fig about the civilians being fired upon or do they care more about the oil? Well, let's just say, profit is more valuable than a person, especially people that we feel technologically, racially, educationally, and religiously superior to. Why else are Native Americans living on a reservation? That's not something people will admit to out loud, but that's what the West thinks of the Middle East. These people are our gas station attendants, nothing more, all we care about is the oil, because we consume over half the world's oil. Japan was a painful reminder that nuclear energy is not only dangerous but the power of the sun can't be funneled into a car battery. The Japanese are 1000 times smarter than Americans and they were thrown for a loop, imagine what something like that could do to the US. There is no way the southeast could survive a nuclear disaster because the south is the cradle of idiocy.
I think we should have a new national anthem: From the Halls of Montezuma, To the shores of Tripoli; We fight OTHER country's battles In the air, on land, and sea.
