Why can't we just let the Libyans fight it out (...and then make friends with the winners)

So, because genocide is going on in Dharfur, we should allow genocide to go on everywhere?

Not all Muslims hate us. Many Americans today stand shoulder to shoulder with Muslims fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. I am not pretending that there are not a huge number who do hate us, but by no means do all of them.

How does one tell the difference, without dieing first?

Libya is a civil war. If you can turn your back on Christians being murdered by Muslims in Dharfur, it is hard to make the phony case that genocide is more important when Muslims are killing each other.

Frankly, we have no idea who the rebels are. If they are MB backed, I won’t miss them.

Between a Muslim that hates us, and a Muslim that does not?

We are on the right side now

Supporting rebels with ties to the Muslim brotherhood is not being on the right side. Visit some sites of reformed jihadist. Walid Shoebat to start. Don't depend on Fox News or politicians to tell you which dogs are in a fight. We are not on the right side. It is rare to have a side chosen by Hilary to be the right side.

I never turned my back on the Christians in Dharfur. The problem is that no good Christian has been willing to pay me to do anything about it. Money makes the world go around.

Who said that the rebels do not hate us?
(Fact is we know nothing about the rebels or about their goals) yet we are siding with them in a civil war.

The world has changed now, like it or not. Left alone, Gadaffi would unleash mercenaries and massacre thousands upon thousands as Eu /US watched.

Speaking of Lockerbie and for anyone else who’s been wondering,

Frankly my dear...(just an expression, not a jab)

I haven’t been wondering, other than this: We give a great big pass to the dicktator in Iran, who is scheduled to be the next nuclear power at our expense, and who actually invaded our sovereign territory, making hostages of our citizens and instead, invade, (sort of), Libya home of the Lockerbie bomber, planner, and executor.

I’m speechless.

I wasn’t referring to you in particular. Surely you know that.

We are not in this Libya mess because of Daffy killing people. We are killing people too now.

Well, how can you tell the difference between anyone who hates you and those who do not? Do all black Americans hate whites? Some do. Do all white Americans hate blacks? Some do. Most Moslems do not hate Americans. I've been in 5 Moslem countries. I'm aware some hate us. I'm aware some don't. I can't tell which ones are which by looking at them.

Everyday service members from the US and other western countries go on patrols with Moslems in Iraq and Afghanistan. Most of them workout well. We're well treated in the Gulf States and many other places. It's simply wrong headed to say all Moslems hate us.

You are not seeing the big picture. Once Gaddafi is dead then a rebel will take his place. We will learn who the Muslim Brother Hood rebel is, then we can take care of him. If we do not take out Gaddafi then we will never know who the Muslim Brother Hood man is.

Well, on a positive note, hopefully this means that al-Megrahi’s Lamborghini trips to see his new mansion will be a thing of the past.

I have been living the big picture for nearly 20 years now. I have learned that liberals will send my sons off to fight for the Muslim brotherhood when they should be taking out the lot radical islam. You don’t try out the devil to see how he fits.

Leviathan established the foundation for most of Western political philosophy from the perspective of social contract theory.[2]

I never read it, so I’m not sure where I stand on social contract theory. I know where I stand on supporting rebels we really are clueless about. The Colonel has actually listened to us in the past, although if everything about Lockerbie is true, he does have a streak of get even.
