I think he just happens to be a victim of the times. The Arab "Spring" looked real good a few months ago and I think the U.S. govt. was hoping that young people would rise up in Iraq just like they did in Egypt and other Muslim countries there.

So when a few thousand Libyans saw this as a win/win grab for power and went for it...our govt. figured we should back them in hopes it would encourage people in other countries to overthrow their govt. like Egypt did.

Unfortunately...Gaddafi is backed by the majority of his citizens and nearly all the tribes (the culture there is much different than ours).

We were told that this would all be over in a few days. It isn't. And who knows if it will even if Gaddafi is killed?

Bottom line is it's none of our business. And we have zero rights to be interfering in their country.

Even if we weren't bankrupt...we have NO business there. It's not our country.

It would be like Glenn Beck having that big rally in Washington, and Russia deciding that he needed "help" and started bombing the White House. lol
And yes, I know that Beck didn't pick up guns and start attacking...but I'm just saying...even if he did we wouldn't want another country coming in to "help" him overthrow our govt.
