When it comes to Libya, neither side is worthy of our accolades. Yes the guy is a brutal anti-US tyrant. He was also an isolated buffoon, grinding out his time on this planet in relative obscurity.

Is the Iranian model being implemented in Libya, and tied at the hip with other states that are also tied at the hip with Iran going to be better for America, Europe, and the planet in general?

HELL NO!

In situations like this, it is best to keep one’s yap shut and let the locals destroy each other in relative silence. This does not end well. Congratulating anyone at this point is only going to provide the powder to blow up in your face later on.

Someone once said, “Silence is bliss.” In this instance, they would have been a sage.

Damned if she does and damned if she doesn't with you PDS'ers.

Don't know about you, but I'm not sure what the outcome is going to be in the Middle East. I get the feeling that it won't be good.

The instability alone provides the perfect opportunity for the radical mullah types to take control.

These folks might be trading one tyranny for another. Just look at Egypt now. Iran has already accessed the Suez Canal and the MB has established a political party.

Gaddafi is an enemy of the U.S. its allies and is responsible for the killing of U.S. citizens not including supporting mayhem in other Africa countries. Here Sarah is talking about the freedom from Gaddafi, not necessarily supporting the people who could want a Islamic republic for all we know...

I’m sure if Obama knew that Libya was really going the Muslim brotherhood way like Egypt then he would have jumped on the bandwagon really quick! LOL! (it’s a joke)

Silence is consent.

I don’t like the call for the US establishing no fly zones either. We do not need to insert ourselves in another mideast country at the moment.

Or we could use the killing of mass civilians as a pretext to invade and put boots on the ground in Libya to ensure a smooth transition of power to a democratic elected government and offer them protection as the insitutions are formed without Sharia law.......

Muammar may be isolated but he was never punnished. I hope he is removed from power.

Silence is what many observed in Nazi Germany when they slaughtered their own citizens. Didn’t work out too well there.

"Silence is golden" ~~ "Ignorance is bliss"

Silence is golden : A proverbial saying, often used in circumstances where it is thought that saying nothing is preferable to speaking. As with many proverbs, the origin of this phrase is obscured by the mists of time. There are reports of versions of it dating back to Ancient Egypt. The first example of it in English is from the poet Thomas Carlyle, who translated the phrase from German in Sartor Resartus [1831].
