Wow, here we are involved in another war overnight. And I'm not sure what to think about that yet. Of course I sympathise with the rebels, they're the underdogs. However, we know next to nothing about them at this time. Maybe we'll get lucky and this won't backfire on us. But are we spending a billion $ worth of munitions and putting our pilots in jeopardy to create another radical Muslim state? I tend to think this is a lose lose situation. We would have lost an opportunity to help create a Muslim state friendly to the U.S. by doing nothing. But are we going to accomplish that? And we've certainly succeeded in alienating more Muslim states by intervening. And Ghadafi hadn't bothered anyone outside Libya since Reagan destroyed his palace and killed some of his family members.
As I said, at this point I don't really have enough information to form an opinion one way or the other. What are your thoughts? Please leave a comment.
