Palin was exactly WRONG in calling for a no fly zone as that would only encourage other uprisings in the middle east. If you guys think that these rioters in the middle east are looking for democracy you’re smoking some really good stuff! If they win so does the Muslim brotherhood and you will see radical Islam sweep across most of the oil producing states like a wildfire. Much as I hate to say it but we should have been supporting Q-daffy and the other dictators in the middle east not encouraging revolt. I would love to see Q-daffy get what’s coming to him but not at the expense of destabilizing the entire region. Also, do we really need another place for our young men to die in for no good reason? We already have two and it is costing us a fortune in both money and lives.

I agree with you in that the wisdom of a No-fly zone is debatable at best.

Unfortunately, Obama with his dithering, or lack of a coherent position is getting the US the worst of both worlds, we still encourage the uprisings, while convincing the rebels we are not on their side, and convincing the current despots that we are not on theirs. Thus at our current muddle we are likely to have no friends in the region (and possibly not even for temporary rent).

Palin is at least taking a position.
