They were already living fairly well, the highest standard of living Africa in fact. Now Libya is a disaster and the country will see some of its toughest times in 40 years since Gaddafi took leadership.
This doesn't disturb you though, that America just completely ****ing ruined another country. You blow your load at this type of stuff then cry like a sobbing girl when a 9/11 happens. Tit for tat.
Now not only did U.S ruin another country but may have created a much more dangerous enemy state ruled by Al Qaeda? Blowback once again.
I do so love the ability of the left to completely ignore the facts in favour of their ideology, white-hot hatred of freedom, and desire to undercut our allies.
Here's the facts:
1. We did not start the Libyan rebellion, in fact we were late to the game. Libya was already a disaster area, with guys with FN FALS and AK 47s fighting tanks, helicopters and jet fighters. What we did do is prevent a Syrian-style massacre of civilians, only much much worse.
2. I know you and your comrades so hate the USA you probably think they are responsible for your adolescent acne.....but this mission was led by CANADA, with large support from France and Great Britain, with NATO approval.........the USA was deeply involved, allbeit reluctantly. They kinda have their hands full.
as for Al-queda, I thought the lefty line was they didn't exist??? lol
Seriously, do you expect NATO to dictate what government the Libtan people choose??
Talk about imperialism!!
Or did you wish to let Gadhafi murder tens of thousands??
Or have it turn out as id did.
Those are the only three alternatives:
We should have let Gadhafi murder his way to continued power.
We now invade and control the Libyan gov't to avoid lunatic Islamists taking over.
We let the Libyans choose their own way and deal with the consequences as the situation demands.
Pick one.
