I do not support Gaddafi but I think that if anyone should get rid of him,it should be the Libyan people not NATO or USA or any other foreign intervention.

[MrCleatsketch]

@HeroofTime55 Except there is no evidence this is a "democratic revolution". Arrogance is thinking everyone in the world wants the same system of you, if given a chance.

Libya is a Jihad. All these Arab states, will go devoutly Moslem. If there is democracy, it won't last longer than it takes to vote in the Sharia.

WTFFFFFF!!!! STOP SWITCHING FROM ONE CAMERA TO ANOTHER!!!

And when I mean over there I mean Nazi Germany.

[Tupacem17]

Before America was in WW2 many Americans volunteered themselves to go over there and fight not on behalf of their country but on behalf of humanitarianism. Why can't we simply do that. I mean yes we do get into WW2 because we were attacked and Hitler became so powerful that he was a threat to America but since Libya isnt a threat to America then we shouldnt use our taxpayer money to intervene unless it becomes the interest of us as a nation to do so.

[onehairybuddha]

Without French intervention the USA would not exist. Do any of you wish to repudiate the revolution?

[TFDFOX1]

we should not be over there at all as a prior U.S. army vet these people hav been living in these conditions for 1,000's of years and not the U.S nor anyother nation is going to be able to stop these people from killing eachother sad to say but very much the truth.

[Loathomar]

So, no that it is all pretty much all said and done, I wounder if Penn's views are the same? Going into the war I was against it, as I had no idea how long it would go on for, what it would cost us and if we would have made the situation better or worse. But now that it is done, costing the US $2 billion (about 1/1000 of the Iraq war), the war was over quick which likely saved thousands of lives and the Libyan people are freed. Though, I don't think that makes the general policy good.

[takethisyoufuckers]

I wouldn't be surprised if NATO stays in Libya for another few years. Judging by our record in the Middle East, it seems entirely plausible. Also, are we going to bomb the fuck out of the next guy there who does something we don't like?

Obama is a war criminal and should be prosecuted by the ICC along with Benjamin Netanyahu.

[ch19079]

All revolutionary era speeches, documents, ect... include tons of arguements agenst foreign intervention (and for freedom) specifically because they had been oppressed by a foreign power. But after WW2 we became the strongest nation and saw the benefits of that influence, and will not give it up.

The Idea of freedom is still a strong US principle. If we can help free people without US deaths and for under 2 billion $, then ok. Many died in Iraq and it cost a trillion $, so many opposed it.

[strizhi]

@RamicZlatan I'm glad it worked out that way. Now NATO and our guys and all our allies should get the fuck out. Let them choose their own course and if enough of them want our business then we should work. Until then STAY OUT!
