I feel sorry for the rebels but this is not our fight. France, Arab League, The African(whatever they call their group), UK and the UN all were for going into Libya. Well the combined forces of those groups and some using our equipment is more than enough to level the playing field in Libya. Why the eff do they need the US? I am sorry the role of world police is one we can not afford anymore. There are other countries with dictators, what are the parameters we use to help out countries. African nations are performing genocide, so who do we help out next. The world needs to learn how to rely on someone other than the US. France pissed me off during the run-up to the NO Fly Zone. They were bitching and trying to coerce help with the NFZ. I was thinking, listen France if you can't kick Libya's ass then you should not consider yourself a world power. Their air force would have little problem locking the skies down over Libya. If France is outraged, they don't even need aircraft carriers, they are close enough to run sortees from within their borders. We are stuck in Iraq and Afghanastan and have crippling debt. If Libya was located in North or South America, then I would be for some sort of intervention, but Africa needs to become Europes problem. We already have to take care of the Middle East because of the Saudi's and Israeli's. We got Japan and South Korea in Asia, we do more than enough to solve their Earth's military problems. When it comes to a problem when the military intervention is needed we are like a drunken college chick at a frat party, we can't say no. It is time for America to transition from the ideas of Woodrow Wilson back to Teddy Roosevelt.
