True, but we still had/have no business intervening if we're not going to finish the job. Either replace Kadaffi (sp) or never start. Sounds like the rebels are losing and then what will our efforts/$$$$ been for? Nothing but a waste. Prevent genocide, yes, but why can't we get their arab neighbors to either do the job or allow those people to leave the country. Let's apply that to World War II Germany: should we allow Hitler to gas the Jews? No, of course not. But where do you draw the line? It's not an easy answer. I'm just saying that if we help the Libyans out, we need to help everybody else out too. And we just can't afford to do that. So where/how do you decide when/how to help? I'm all for humanitarian aid (medical supplies, etc.) but I don't like our military being used so often it seems anymore. I don't know...I hate our involvement over there probably moreso because we're so broke and are over-extending ourselves in so many ways while we have so many problems here at home that don't seemingly get addressed. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
