So the current thug running Libya is a dictator, no problem - right? Well, you see, he's not our dictator, so we don't like him. President Obama and Shrillary are talking no-fly zones over Libya, which are advocated by the devil we don't know. Those devils are fighting our pal Qaddafi though, so (enemy of my enemy) they are somehow our friend and we want to blow up Libyan planes because . . . it's our business . . . somehow . . . .
There is obviously a civil war underway in Libya. The only interest we have in that place is oil (humanitarian shoomanitarian), and therefore the civil war in Libya is NONE OF OUR BUSINESS! What then are they thinking (assuming they are thinking) talking about risking millions of dollars and a few American lives, while definitely spending hundreds of millions of dollars, defending a no-fly zone over a part of the world where we have NO IDEA who would end up running the show if the current regime were to fall?
Supporting the rebels is a risky, risky move. I'm for not.
