To note, I'm neither pro-Republican nor pro-Democrat, I'm pro-common-sense. However, I can't wait to hear Republicans whine and cry about this war the way the democrats did when Bush was in charge.

Oh well, at least it's a war on an actual solid object (the Lybian people) rather than a concept (terrorism). Maybe the next war we have will be against arachnids?

ARACHNIDS, YAY!

Well, I have my doubts about the motives. Is it because of power and wealth, or actually to help the people?

I think "war" is a little strong of a term here, no?

As of now there are no plans to have any ground forces in Libya and the plan is to hand over control in a matter of days.

Of course things could change, but as of now this isn't a war. Its just enforcing a no fly zone, something many countries other than the US agreed to.

its not so much a full on USA vs Libiya war, its the US and other Nato/UN forces trying to oust a evil and inhumane dictator who has ordered his men to remove bodies from morgues and place them in compounds that are about to be bombs, who orders his troops to open fire on unharmed protesters. Now i'm not fully aware on the USA involvement in Libiya but its rather disturbing that people would believe that its all about the "oil" in the country, thats the view of a person who believes everything about they read in certain "news" organizations and doesn't bother actually searching for the truth about what goes on.

Normally i would'nt agree, but unlike Iraq, france is in on this as well as other european countries so maybe there is a genuine reason. Still, it is funny nothing was done in darfur by the US where it was pretty much genocide over there.

Well that's the only reason we help people anyway right? Because if there is no oil, the then the US doesn't care *sarcasm*.

That was well said Rag.

So because Europe is involved as well it must be on the level? The UK, Poland, Italy, Austrailia, Denmark, and Romania were all involved with the war in Iraq.

not suprised if they try to do more to get rid of the leader over their, i remember hearing on the radio that he ordered his air force to bomb protesters and instead they flew off to find asylum and most of his troops didn't want to open fire on the protesters either. he made up some crazy stuff about them to like they were all on drugs or involved with al qaeda
