So Much for Sympatico.

Mar 20, 2011 17:10

It's no secret that I'm no fan of Barack HUSSEIN Obama. I don't make any secret of it, and I am completely unafraid to express that. However, there have been times that I've been forced to agree with him. I'd thought that another one of those days had arrived, as Obama had refrained from involving the United States in the Lybian civil ( Read more... )

I don't think there's a cause for concern.

1: His courageous stance that we shouldn't lead, and should wait for the world, and should wait for permission from the UN. This is pathetically stupid and terrible, but it -does- serve to protect us from a lot.

2: FRANCE lead the charge. France. Fired the first shot. Took it to the UN. Yeah.

3: As I've been complaining about on Facebook, this isn't a war. It's us blowing up a bunch of equipment and strategic points at a distance. We're not going to suffer a single casualty, any more than we did when Reagan did pretty much the exact same thing in the 80's.

So yeah. I'm okay with us bombing the crap out of Gaddafi. We just should have done it back when there was still a rebellion. Now he's destroyed almost all of it, so all we're doing is stopping the civil war, which should stabilize oil prices but not the nation.

The problems are significant:

1: I would not militarily or financially help any Arab country. The Arab League and OPEC are political and economic enemies of the US. Their rhetoric and money fuels muslim terrorism. Having a weak president only encourages their attacks.

2: Missiles cost money, and they're not worth the costs.

3: Obama is no Reagan. The Muslims would be far more apt to retaliate against Obama , than Reagan. He's the chest beating wimp, and the enemy knows it.

Libya isn't an Arab country. Not in the way Saudi Arabia or UAE are. Gaddafi is a dictator and does not rule on the same grounds as the Arab nations do. (Usually through monarchies who are based on bloodlines supposedly linked to Mohammad, which hives them authority in Islam to rule religiously and protection from opponents who believe in Islam.)

Did you feel that way about Reagan's actions?

Do you believe fear of retaliation by the 'Muslim street' should dictate foreign policy?

Libya is a predominantly muslim country, and Obama can't play Reagan, because he lacks even the conviction to even call this terrorism what it is by name. Its already readily apparent the terrorists do not live in fear of retaliation by Obama's America. The evidence is in the increasingly frequent attacks. When you have a president that won't let you fight back, you're damned right you should worry about retaliation.
