The whole Libya fiasco is an attempt to establish the legitimacy of the UN telling sovereign nations what to do. They have cooked up this bogus idea of "responsibility to respond" when some bad actor crosses a line somewhere.

That means, if the UN so desires, they can requisition our military to run their errands for them. This time they are using NATO. But the next time it will be blue helmets all around. Obama of course thinks this is just dandy since it attacks and undermines US sovereignty.

I think NATO itself has outlived its usefulness. At one time it was needed to balance the Soviet Union because there was no other way to do so. Now, European nations get a free ride on the back of the American taxpayer. With the USSR being replaced by a much diminished Russia, the Europeans are quite capable of maintaining their own balance of power.

And just look at how many nasty characters there are in leadership positions all over the globe. Are we going to remove all of the bad guys and replace them with good guys? Where will we find the good guys, how long will they last and what garantee do we have that they won’t go corrupt and become juat as bad as the previous guy.
