Can anybody help me...
I’m trying to think back at all the wars we’ve had in history now but only as far back as Vietnam.
I could be wrong but it appears that the justification for going to Libya is the closest one in reasoning that I can remember to Vietnam War.
I may be forgetting a war where we sent troops to a place where national security really was not the issue.
Kosovo?
The difference here is that Libya did nothing to attack us or challenge our vital interests. Indeed, it was pretty much the opposite in that Libya abandoned its nuclear program in 2003 after the Iraq invasion, stopped sponsaoring terrorism, and even gave us occcasional help in dealing with AQ and the MB. Thus, we have an utterly poiontless attack on a non-hostile power that's turned it into a hostile one and assured us an endless bleeding sore, much like Iraq and Afganistan.
(Psssst. "Wag the dog")
Even if not literally true it will serve to further unsettle his lackeys, minions, and suck-ups and put them (more) on the defensive. Now is the time.

That little adventure was also Hillary's doing. The KLA the Clinton's climbed into bed with were allied with al Quada.
If you haven't bothered to notice, the left started campaign Zippo to Reagan months ago, long before the so called “SPONTANIOUS” dust up in Libya started. Zippo is now just like Reagan.
Amazing how the lefts talking points always seem to fit a “SPONTANIOUS” situation months before it happens.
