Slaughtering his own people and mocking the world's pleas, for peace, Libya's Moammar Gadhafi can only be stopped by force. Since President Barack Obama seems comfortable killing terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan with Predator drone strikes, why not in Libya?
So far, establishing a no-fly zone is the only air power option on the table... The Turkish prime minister has said he would oppose such a move.
A no-fly zone also creates political problems for Obama. He came to power promising to end two wars, not to start a new one. "Let's just call a spade a spade," Defense Secretary Robert Gates said. "A no-fly zone begins with an attack on Libya."
...Collateral damage to civilians is a real risk as is friendly fire. On April 14, 1994, over Iraq, two U.S. helicopters were mistakenly shot down, killing 26 coalition personnel...
Doing nothing beyond sanctions and speeches is also not an option. Libya is quickly becoming a humanitarian disaster... Libya's collapse could also destabilize our European allies. European Union officials privately estimate that the EU will see 250,000 refugees from Libya in the coming months.
For those concerned about the legality of striking Gadhafi and his inner circle, remember President Reagan's 1986 air strikes on the Libyan dictator. Yes, they missed, but no one contends they were illegal.

What I do agree is making it clear that any call for jihad will be stomped on quickly.
Let’s put it another way. Are all white supremacists bad? If so, why? Could it be what they believe in? I think so. The same goes for muslims. They believe the koran, do they not? If this is true, what does the koran say? It says to kill the infidels. Who are the infidels? Anyone who is not a muslim. The fanatical muslims use the quiet muslims as their “we are loving” red herrings. Islam is an evil ideology just like nazism is evil. Neither of them is about religion. In fact they both are about abolishing religion and establishing a political system based on their ideology.

Clinton stood idly by while one million Rwandans were slaughtered.
And they say it isn’t about oil.
