Even if he survives he has lost his most-favored-dictator status.
Ask the French I only posted the article but I see how your hypocrisy shines through because you had nothing to say about the French calling for air strikes.
Since so many people on this forum are so gung ho about another possible war in Libya, how about one in Ivory Coast as well? 70,000 people have fled that country because of its many political difficulties. Is Colpy or anyone else going to enlist in order to fight there for that country's freedom?
Gosh! Could we move any slower you guys! Let's go!

The issue of whether to intervene in Libya is not a Right, Left or Neo con issue as some like to label it it's more, it's the Libyan people trying to end the reign of a brutal dictator who need help but sadly the United States and NATO blew the only real chance they had because now it's a civil war.
Those in the Middle East who are thinking of rising up to change their Country's future now look at the inaction of the United States and NATO and are possibly having second thoughts.
The French didn't support the Iraq War because of their secret deals with Saddam, but at least their President had the balls to stand up to say what needed to be said unlike Obama who doesn't have a pair..
Sure I'll do anything for my own people but at the same time to ignore the on going slaughter in Libya is wrong..Spoken like a liberal.
Guys like you crack me up.
Won't do a thing for your own people but are so willing to spend money and lives on a foreign problem.:roll:

That way of thinking ' it's not my problem what goes on over there' almost lost Britain, France and the rest of Europe to Hitler had Canada and the United States not stepped in..It's not my problem what goes on over there.
I'm glad my government didn't make it our problem.
We saved tax dollars and Canadian resources.
That's the same kind of thinking/mentality that almost lost Britian, France to Hitler had Canada and the United States not stepped in..
Of course it is, if a Libyan who lives in Canada asks you why you don't want to help their country what are you going to tell him/her?Yeah...it's the same.:roll:

You definitely define Isolationist, thankfully people like you will never be calling the shots..No, not my problem.

I would tell them to fk off and go and help their own country because they have done nothing for Canada while we gave them an organized country with a lot of opportunity.Of course it is, if a Libyan who lives in Canada asks you why you don't want to help their country what are you going to tell him/her?
Are Libyans asking for outsides to intervene? The coverage on the radio made it sound like Libyans feel they will soon have their revolution, if not in hours, in the coming days. Jumping in when help isn't being asked for sounds like a bad idea to me.
Great, Libya starts winning, we supply air cover they shoot ground to air missiles and maybe one or more of ours (NATO/UN) gets killed and this time it will be the lefts fault. The right for the most part want to watch this one.
