He was a bad man who needed to be put on trial for what he did. They could have found him guilty and executed him properly.
Buttttt.........only a strong dictator could possibly keep these uncivilized savages in line.
Don’t think ordinary folks realize what kind of things go on in these Muslim countries. They only understand brute force.

Obama cannot be this stupid. He has advisors who know those countries. This is the outcome he expected from his approval of the riots and protesters. Now he is trying to do the same thing in this country by supporting the protesters on Wall St.
He is a misguided Robbin’ Hood still playing childish games with world politics.

Obama is not ‘mis-guided’ though. He is being ‘guided’ by his radical ideology and the unholy alliance between global marxists and Islamists. It’s all part of his plan and it is coming along just as they have planned.

Pray for our country.

“...Obama cannot be this stupid...”

He’s not.

He understands them very well. He was raised as one of them.

It's not a matter of him being stupid. He simply does not care. Foreign policy is not his concern. He is totally detached from the consequences of these actions or any actions he takes.

If this was 1984/88 and we had the ability to go get Kadaffy, then by all means, go for it. In recent years, he was behaving and doing what we wanted him to. Aside from shooting off his mouth, he was not a problem and despite his past, if that was the case now, I'd be willing to leave him be. Yes, he must answer for his actions in the 1980's, but overall between his rule and rule by Sharia, Kadaffy is the much better choice. Although he had socialist tendencies, he did improve the lives of many of his people by putting them in homes that had electricity, A/C, running water and so on along with preaching the message of Africans helping themselves. He also allowed capitalism in Libya with generally enough freedom, their economy was growing at 10%, IIRC. Along with that, at least women had equal rights.

Yes, he did evil things, especially in the 1980's by supporting terrorists and he should answer for them, but I think we took a devil we know (and behaving) and put in a devil we don't know and is much, much worse.

You're right, they have no foundation or benchmark for a republican form of government and they would in the end vote for a dictator and/or Sharia law. Kadaffy at least kept the radicals under control.
