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.
This was said by john kerry, that if michigan were a country, the number of troops it contributed to iraq was greater than ANY of those countries besides the US and UK......that's not really much of a coalition. Here france is playing a substantial role. Anyways, i could be wrong maybe the war is'nt justified.

Implying America is the "evil" one.
Implying it's only for oil.
Implying that U.S. wanted to bomb Libya.
Implying. Haha

Little known fact, America was asked for help by other world leaders, to help in Libya. They joined cause allies stick together.

Now this happens once the U.S. joins.

Some foreign person who is brainwashed by media, or just hates the U.S., "OH LOOK AMERICA IS BOMBING LIBYA WTF ARE THEY DOING THEY ARE SO POWER HUNGRY DRR THEY JUST WANT OIL DERPP WHY DID THEY START THIS?? DURR"

i have to admit u.s. is the only country who has the means and the balls to wage war in a practical scale, but this is not a humanitarian aid, its civil war and we took a side because we got media pressured not because "it was the right thing to do". if china kills 1million of its citizens tomorrow will we say OH Snap we have to stop them!... no we wont cause they are not some weak country. so the real reason is #1 because we got pressure and #2 because we can win.

OBAMA
Well its easy to see who the idiots are here. Anyone that uses those dumbass catch phrases obviously know nothing about politics. Also, MCCain has proven himself incapable of anything since Obama got elected and he was the only other choice.

First rule of war: Don't start a war you cannot finish.

Would you rather we just invade China with no hope of victory? If we are not sure we can win then its a dumb idea to fight it. Unless they are forcing you into the war (Germany/Japan).

Besides we have helped the Libyan people out greatly and I do not think they will forget it so easily in the future. Also gadaffi funded a few attacks on America so Gadaffi wasn't a real great person to keep in power (national security wise).

I mistrust both sides but the socialist lefts wonder boy is shown to be a political windsock (suckup?) interested only in getting re elected and not offending his base... And why are we the worlds police force? I'd rather see us help our Japanese friends deal with a tragic disaster and let the European's step up and keep their backyard clean.... Day late n dollar short

the euro are our allies and they are little help. and i say little not that they are useless. who else is helping? we helped iraq where are they? we helped afghanistan where are they? we spent billions on other muslim countries where are they? oh right.. they said someone should do something at the start of the war... put a no fly zone... and now they are not going to send troops instead they are going to do humanitarian aid. if they themselves dont want to help each other who are we to intevene? we are different nation and more than an ocean apart.

also exactly.. we wont invade china.. thats the whole point.. im saying we do it because we can & not because its the right thing to do.

i agree completely, lets stop waging war and only help in natural disasters. our troops should "only" be used if we are being attacked on our soil.

the notion that its for national security is flawed. reality is that no other country currently in this planet has the means to wage war on us. putting nukes aside, there is no real threat that we will be laid siege or attacked. the worst any other country can do is more suicide bombers and that wont bring about the destruction of America.

Thanks dude!
Perhaps a wee bit of perspective.... I served in the Navy and went all over the place and saw just how much we're hated and despised yet we keep throwing money at these folks... They don't care, they don't like us, and all the money in the world won't change it... wasting our time in Afghanistan, same in Iraq, now Libya... you think the Saudi's like us? LOL! And we've earned it too... we need to fix our country first and get our self respect back! :mad:

Actually we invaded Iraq as aggressors without any clear plan or purpose. Thank you Bush.

Al Quida attacked us in 9/11 an we responded by attacking the country that was harboring and working together with Al quida. We didn't help Afghan we invaded in response to their attack on us.

get your facts straight.

we wont invade china
No, cause we would lose. Any country that invades another knowing they will lose is stupid. Its like Mexico attacking us because we Illegally invaded Iraq.

I agree. After all, there was a crisis in Sudan, there's the Palestinian one and if its to promote democracy and blah, blah blah, there's the situation in Ivory Coast. I wonder why Libya is the Priority? Oil anyone?
I'm tired of hearing that it's only about Oil. With the Lybia conflict there are other contries involved and helping. As Cyborg stated, France is playing a substantial role. They must be in it for the oil too, huh? Forget about Gadhafi trying to kill innocent people.

The US is not trying to insert a hand picked leader into office for Lybia in order to better our relations; all we are trying to do is get Gadhafi away from a position of power.
