These rebel forces need (but probably don't "deserve") our support.The rebels are Muslims, and they've been doing what Muslims all over the world have been doing - slaughtering unarmed civilians, beheading hostages, burning churches and synagogues, bringing the burqa and the mutilation of women, etc. It goes without saying which side the french have been supporting.

Brokering peace accords or ...Nation building. Hmmmm. This just could not have boiled over at a better time.

I'm sure it would be okay for us to supply weapons. I wish we would.
