But seriously folks. This is a great time to present a little history lesson. Google Jefferson Barbary Pirates and read about Tom Jeff, who liberals have recast as a pacifist, and how he fought for the US to send the Marines o'er there. You know, to the shores of Tripoli, to put a stop to this. Of course they couldn't get results fighting with the little ships and their crews so instead took the fight to the backers in Algeria or whereever Tripoli sits.

Not one cent for Tribute!

Libya. Ol Kadafy's haunt. That is where we sent our boys to fight and kill 200 year ago. Seems that history does repeat itself.
