Obama’s war has been “authorized” as an effort to establish a “no-fly” zone in Libya to prevent Libyan airstrikes against civilians. But everyone knows this is a lie. The Libyan air force has already been destroyed but the strikes go on because the real agenda is to help the (al-Qaeda?) rebels to win.

That's what I say! Many good points in this article.

Good article and exactly right. Besides the fact that AQ is a the least somewhat and probably heavily involved in Libya, we seem to have forgotten that our the first Iraq war which was entirely justified was used by Bin Laden as a recruiting tool. I’m sure the jihadist’s are smacking their lips over the future martyrs they’ll get from this present idiocy.

Anyone out there who truly believes that anything resembling a western style government will come out of what’s going on needs to take a history lesson.

We had no business getting involved in Libya’s mess and we’re going to suffer for it.

How does it feel to have your President think that you’re actually that stupid. We went through atleast 10 years straight of No Fly Zones in Iraq. Obama thinks we do not know.

Iran will control radical islamist client states across the middle east in a few years.

We are walking into a minefield with our eyes closed.

First, I am not against people whose religion is Islam.

I am. Every man is his religion. You can't fight a man but not be against his cells.

I fear that no matter who ‘wins’ in Libya, the U.S. (and hte West) will lose.

Old cliche: “Those who ignore the lessons of history are doomed to relive them”.
“Responsibility to Protect” Was indeed the excuse Adolph Hitler used to march into the Sudatenland. Also, his public reason for the dispute with Poland was access to the German Civilians “cut off” in East Prussia. Hitler demanded an open corridor to Danzig, and to obtain it started WWII.
The world should remember that Hitler did NOT delcare war on France and England until AFTER Chamberlain stated that, “A state of war now exists between our two countries”.
Hitler’s claim was his “Responsibility to Protect.”
That said, after a more than 20 year orgy of slaughter of civilians over the entire African continent, why suddenly is there an urgent “R2P”?

Well, given that it’s Andrew Sullivan we’re talking about, it could be both.

Has Andy found the real mother yet?
