I am one of those evil talk radio junkies, and worse than that, I use XM Satellite radio, so get a lot of expertise over the airwaves. While everyone has an opinion and perspective, so far the best minds on the radio can't exactly figure out who the "freedom fighters" in Libya are or what their objectives are, except to overthrow the government. Nobody is sure whether they want Democracy, if they are Al Queda, agents of Iran or whoever. One thing is certain though, somebody is providing them with really cool arms and lots and lots of ammo. I can't buy that stuff in America. So it is logical to conclude that there is big money behind the Rebellion. I have no idea where it comes from and nobody on radio does either. One would assume our Intelligence services do know. But nobody is saying anything. Especially Our President, who is busy playing soccer in Brazil.
Re #4: Since once upon a time I was an Air Force cop, i did swear an oath to defend everyone's right to voice opinions I don't like, their freedom of assembly and the rest of the Constitution. So long as they do not present a threat to public order. Then the Police Powers kick in. Peaceful demonstrations must be protected, even if I hate the bastards ;-)
#5: No. When Nations go weird, like for example NAZI Germany, they have to be taken down. This is just the principle of self defense applied on a global scale.
#6: Soon we will no longer be able to afford that, so this problem will solve itself.
#7: Of course not.

What is happening in the mid east is truely extraordinary but you should not be scared. We are witnessing the emergence of the third world. For three decades this region was driven by economic concerns. They were rentier states but with the economic crash and the Internet revolution Arabs have been inspired by people like Hugo Chavez and the Prosperity of China. Western media & culture has entered the region through Quatar and UAE and what we will see now is a genuine democratic arab muslim world. The final blow came when the west began to become Xenophobic. The election of Geert Wilders in Holland. The Mosque controversy in New York and the Quran burning bigot in Florida. To the arab world their leaders had disgraced their culture so much so that the leader of GOP could go on Fox News and compare muslims to Nazis without so much as a condemnation from arab leaders.

Regardless of what they were demonstrating against, Daffy Duck had no reason to open fire on them. No, I don't respect any nation's sovereignty if they willingly kill peaceful demonstrators. No, the US should not get involved in the problems of all countries, only those that have a a strategic interest in our overall plan. Since we don't know what our overall plan is, we shouldn't get involved in ANY country's affairs, at least until we get an adult president. No the U.S. doesn't bomb ANY country that has demonstrators in their city streets; how did you get this twisted around to that? We bombed them because that idiot Ka-Daffy was firing on and killing innocent demonstrators, his own people! Do you wonder why they took arms against him? The problem is that when we leave this idiot in place when we leave, recent history shows that he will only continue to murder those who were against his dictatorship plus all their relatives..

"Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship....voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country" - Hermann Göring (1946)
