Given, USA is in a position to engage the whole world n probably bring it to its knees. Its the one n only SUPERPOWER in the world. In cohorts with UK n France, It becomes the absolute military powerhouse. This national pwr is controlled not by Obama, but a small cabal of families that literally own the American Govt. Money is their only language, n war is money. Oil is also money (Libya allegedly has the cleanest oil, with the largest deposits in africa-??) Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Was watching ABC's Christina Amanpour asking a panel on their thoughts on the 'invasion'. Their thinking was Yemen represents more of a threat to the US than Libya in terms of terrorism, yet US was focusing on Libya thereby raising more questions to the logic behind the attacks yet both countries' governments were turning on their people. I say there are vested interests.

There used to be this guy called Saddam who even had missiles etc...they found him in a hole eating kit kat chocolates and drinking diet coke...

Simon , what do you do with someone has decided to kill his own people.Wait for genocide ? Obama took the right decision.Gaddafi and his sons are sick people.
His end is nigh.The self proclaimed king of kings of Africa also interpreted as the Dictator of Dictators of Africa.I have no pity for him.I just pity the innocent women and children of Libya as the two bulls fight.But it's the price to pay for a better free Libya.

I think now we need to be told the truth about the Grand regency hotel saga.

"Another Iraq" is not necessarily a bad thing, Iraq is way better off now than it was under Saddam, and will only get better. The violence playing out now and probably in future is simply because most of the people don't know any other way to relate as a result of life under Saddam.
