Why are we still dropping bombs in Libya while also arming the rebels and doing who knows what else?
The reason, we were told that the Libyan dictaor, Quadaffi, was killing it's citizens and that we were bombing Libyan government structures for "humanitarian" reasons.
So, how is this any different than Syria and what all the killing the government is doing to it's citizens?
From Fox News: Syrian forces shelled a town in the country's restive north and opened fire on scattered protests nationwide, killing at least 32 people on Friday, activists said. Hundreds of Syrians streamed across the border into Turkey, trying to escape the violence.
A Syrian opposition figure told The Associated Press by telephone that thousands of protesters overwhelmed security officers and torched the courthouse and police station in the northern town of Maaret al-Numan, and the army responded with tank shells. The man spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.

So, why are we fighting Libya, with Obama doing his best to imitate the Vietnam War, while Syrians are being slaughtered?
Further, why hasn't Obama not gone to Congress in an obvious violation of the law to get approval for the Libyan war?
Finally, where are all the anti-war protesters that were out in force while Bush was president but absent when Obama has been president. Is the media been hiding the war protesters or are the war protesters being silent because Obama is a liberal or because they are out protesting Special Olympians? Either way, the liberals are being dishonest but so what else is new?

If I had my way, Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq would all be over, along with any other middle-east incursions. I don't understand our allegience to Israel, or what the heck we're doing in any of those countries. If I thought we were doing any good, or making any positive moves on the behalf of our country, I'd get it. But I don't. This might have something to do with me not being religious, I don't know. But would we be worse off if we just STOPPED having anything to do with the entire region?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, have you noticed that WHATEVER means you use to comment on a Blogger Blog (AIM, whatever. . .my Google account doesn't work anymore) that you have to go through five or six confirmations to get anything done? It's ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Jamie, actually, that has been going on forever on your blog and mine. It is a pain, but thanks to you and the others who endure the commenting process to pt up a comment.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with you that if we stopped all the agressive battles in the Mid East, maybe things would change for the better. It's not because of Obama, but at a certain point, you just hit the wall and no matter what you do, you are just going in circles and accomplish very little.
