Most of the youth are stunted, with lack of education....Gaddafi’s crew not much better .....but in fairness this youth are indeed fighting for their country and it’s freedom no matter how it plays out..and for that they certainly are most courageous....many brilliant minded people could never stand aong side such an happening...they’d hide under their desks and what the “little guy” take the hits....one day we sill see the same here.

But it will be the brighter, not necessarily brightest minds who will rule there...just a matter of time.

I was thinking of the Euros and particularly Americans. Some of them are absolutely clueless. They act like this is kindergarten and everything can be solved with a time out.

I don't know about anyone else here but it seems to me that for the last two years, Guh-Daffy and his ilk have been presentable enough for Obama and his administration to look away from the release of the Lockerbie Bomber, etc.

Not a damned peep!.....now, NATO etc. are rattling sabres, Obama's talking tough (at least for a pussy), and NOW the world condemns the Guh-Daffy crackdown on protestors.

Just where the eff were these people during the China protests (remember the guy with cojones that backed down the tanks?), IRAN and the tens of thousands of young people trying to throw off a rabid religious dogma?

I'll tell you. It all boils down to the fact that our pRedsident is a dyed-in-the-wool MUSLIM! No dispute on that that bears any worthwhile consideration.

He is about the takeover of every mideast country by MUSLIM radical regimes and he will support the coming attacks on ISRAEL, ostensibly as a 'reaction' to Israel's settling of areas that so-called Palestinians dispute by virtue of a ficticious history.

If this happens, Israel will make these other large Muslim centers wish they had some 50,000 SPF lotion, by damn. This pResident is CAUSING this to happen, by design.

Good thing Americans have arrived safely in Malta! Now we’ll hear more from the Whitehouse as is already evidenced. However they would be fools to show our hand...hopefully BO’s not that stupid but I sure do wonder....

It will be interesting to hear what those
Americans have to say. I suppose the media
have been waiting in breathless anticipation
to interview them.

Well there’s idiots on both sides of the ocean, that’s for sure. But Time is not an issue for us in responding regardless of the uproar that the US hasn’t said much to theis point.The Libyans have made it clear..THEY DO NOT want international help to fight this war within. But they so want support as this thing moves...and that is coming.

It does take time to get the international community, or even a nations leadership, on one page in the light of any unrest. And they are not going to tell us exactly what they are currently doing as they set the stage for what is ahead....and they shouldn’t.

Libya’s people have risen to the occassion to take back their country and are doing just that...and yes that means dying for their country as all countries have done for their freedom. When freedom has come to them they can take the glory..as that should be also. We will not know what has been done, is being done behind the scenes til after it’s over...and even then we’ll never know some of it.

On one hand the world always waits to see what America will do or say...then when they act they kick the hand that feeds them. And it’s the American peoples hand they are kicking who fund all this for other nations...quite frankly many are getting fed up with the responses from the people of other nations.

Yeah, it's funny how nobody pulled this shiite when Bush was in office. Shades of Carter v. Reagan.

Reports of loud explosions now...they’ve found bodies of soldiers who refused to follow TheDaffy in a mass grave...Hospitals forced to treat loyalist soldiers and refuse civilians...Tripoli airport under rebel control...At least one major Tripoli defense brigade has switched sides to rebels.

Which is why it is imperative that we take control of those oil fields. Al Qaeda must not be allowed to control the world’s oil. This type of economic terrorism would be even more devastating than the 9/11 attacks.

Sorry - but I doubt this is about Democracy.

I think this is about them trying to get someone even more radical in there. Same with the other ME countries going through turmoil.
