HEAR ME OUT

[Shu]

Not sure why we are so concerned about Lybia when Iran is cracking down on protesters also. There was going to be protests in China, but they locked there dissidents up before it could happen. I just think it's bad business to put our nose in select civil uprisings but not others. Yes America stands by as the killings in Dafur continue but we need to help the Lybians? Give me a break.

I am for staying out of the mess and then start diplomacy with the winners.

Were more killed in the middle east than in America ? Lets get our own house in order before fixing the world !

What is happening in the Middle East is hitting all of us in the back pocket, so I think we do need to be concerned.  Maybe we have a roll to play, but I'm not quite sure what it should be.  In the the case of Lybia, we do have another interest; Gadhafi is said to have ordered the bombing of that Pan Am airplane.  If there is anything left of him after the rebels get done, we need to finish the job.

I think we could be working in the shadows to try to ensure that the extremists don't gain control of Lybia, Egypt, et al.  That's a job for the CIA, not the Hilda beast.  Like it, or not, the free flow of oil is in the best interest of us as well as the rest of the world.  On that score, we have our own homegrown terrorists.  They're called Dumycrats and they are led by the guy who flies around in AF-1.

Ghadafi is no saint, I 'll give you that. I believe it is reported Lybia is 2% of the worlds oil supply. What is hitting your pocket is oil speculation driving the price. Our military while busy at the moment is not tasked beyond it's capabilities. I just can't see them being policeman for the entire world. The only reason Lybia gets our attention is it does have oil. There are several other countries where human rights abuses and genocide happen and we turn a blind eye.  Think China, North Korea, Iran, Daur etc. We havent moved ships off those coasts and havent asked for sanctions or siezed assets.

I do suppose we could create a no fly zone, then while US warplanes are enforcing it, they witness abuse violations then take action. Lybians then shoot at our warplanes and we commit ground troops. That might make alot of people happy it might not. I still think we should allow other countries to pick there own destiny and not have us choose one for them.

Personnaly I am fed up with the hand holding. I say if any type of an attack originates from another country, the US tells them you have 30 days to hand over those that did it or we wipe one of your cities from the face of the earth. Then of course follow through with it. The rest of the world will only protest a little while. If you gonna be the world's policeman you have got to knock some heads to get some attention.

Why don't muslim radicals attack China, simple they are afraid of China's response.
