Are we now the world police attacking sovereign nations with no strategic vital national interests -we just find and protect "innocent civilians"?
The primary function and mandate of a government is to its citizens. The US has no stated vital interest in Libya...
I say call a spade a spade. IF there is some interest then 0marxo should state it and see if Americans agree with him. This action clearly is an act of war and support of revolutionaries unknown in Libya. 0marxo is being given a free ride by the press as he engages in this odyssey...
Many of these “democracy” movements are insurgents wanting to substitute their own brand of tyranny for the one that exists or tribal and religious rivalies. You are right that the US has to have a direct national interest before they lend support to one of these “democracy” movements in this teeming trashpile of humanity called the Middle East.The only “democracy” movement the US should lend its support to is the one to overthrow the mullahs in Iran. We have a direct national interest in seeing the mullahs go and we should be doing all witnin our power to covertly advance and support opposition to the mullahs.
