Yeah ... pretty easy to argue when all the other person says is 'I don't care' and 'he's amazing'.

So to sum up. Obama+Libya+ndaa= a fine start to building a strong dictatorship. Watch next elections will ne suspended via "executive fiat"

Supporting Iraqis against Saddam Hussein is as good as supporting Libyans against Qaddafi. Messing with the Iraqi after math & letting Iran controlling the country is wrong. Letting the free Libyans building a new free Libya is good.

And don't think that I'm saying that Iraq wasn't justified. Saddam was a bastard and deserved to be taken out. However, it was reckless and short-sighted of Bush to start another war when we already were in Afghanistan. We should have just bombed the crap out of Baghdad and used drone strikes, not invade.

Ronreich1, it's easy to make your argument when you can control what your opponent says and make them say stupid things. Try arguing against someone with a brain.
Here's several things why Libya was a better move than Iraq:
-Libya had a Libyan-led revolution to overthrow Gaddaffi. Saddam's power was secure.
-We bombed the crap out of Libya but didn't invade and left it to the Libyans to stablize the land. We invaded Iraq and put the job of stabilizing it on our shoulders.

Right! I am around the odd portion of Youtube once again.
@Mrpastry909 (continuation) You may agree or disagree with “The Bush Doctrine” and the threats posed by the Iraqi regime, but your representatives in Washington voted for it overwhelmingly and that is what democracy looks like. Deal with it.
As for UN 1973, you may agree or disagree with it, but your representatives in Washington did not get to vote on it nor were they asked for their opinion. That is what Totalitarianism looks like. Deal with it."

@Mrpastry909 Here's what I wrote a year ago in response to similar comments: "Are these two wars comparable and if not what are the salient differences? For me, they are not comparable actions. Iraq was about trying to save American lives by enforcing something which came to be known as “The Bush Doctrine”, and Libya is about trying to save non-American lives by enforcing something known as UN 1973.
