You're telling me! It seems that you agree completely with the main points of post #31, viz this is a war to ensure supply of cheap oil, so why all the frenetic charges of "liar", "idiot" and "moronic drivel"? Were they just for dramatic effect?

As to the charge of justification, just because I have an understanding of what is going on in Libya doesn't neccesarily mean I think it's a good idea. As a matter of fact, I think the West's strategy in Libya is, at best, very risky. The Brits are officially backing the Libyan rebels now (as opposed to doing it covertly, or doing it directly and denying it), so they must think they are going to win. But there doesnt seem to be much evidence that Gaddaffi's regime is going to crack up quickly. Even if the Rebels do win, there's no guarantee that the pro-democracy camp in Libya is going to end up in charge. The radical islamists are at least as numerous and certainly better funded than they are. So why are we wasting our money, lives and political credit?

I don't subscribe to the theory that BO is doing this so the muslim brotherhood can conquer all of Africa. It's more likely that the West has simply been caught by surprise by the speed of the Libyan uprising, by the whole of the "Arab Spring" for that matter. Result: uncordinated, half-measure responses.

Typical of your responses that doesn't explain anything at all. No one gets "caught by surprise" bombing another country. You are truly a bonehead.

And that is typical of your responses - an assertion of superior knowledge bolstered by personal abuse. Hypocrite.

I may be a hypocrite but that is not an example of hypocrisy. I suggest you look the word up in the dictionary. It makes you look stupid to misuse the English language like that.

Nothing “may” about it. You are. And its not misused. Try and hold more than one concept in your head at once.
