[QUOTE="jhelmick, post: 144090, member: 14920"] Here's an interesting contrast to bullying. I find it interesting that despite the size and strength of his military, we bomb the heck out of him. From a distance, no less! Although I would never condone the atrocities of a dictator, it is still internal affairs. I don't recall any of the rebels asking for our help and despite the recent setbacks, they were really holding their own. Their defiance and courage were still very strong, which means they could have worn down the opposition eventually. Wasn't Khadaffi (sp) just another figure-head we put in place after WWII? Another tyrant created by the US that has now deviated from expectations? I love the claims that we were not "targeting Khadaffi," yet we've bombed his compounds? We don't have the money to help our homeless, SSA is in question, nor do we have enough to continue funding social services yet we can afford to fight battles on numerous fronts where we never should have been in the first place? While some may argue Al Qada needs to be brought down, being responsible for 9/11, etc. Okay, I'll give you that one but no one can really argue that we have any business violating the sovereignty of these countries, not to mention the money. This so frustrates me about the US Government that is even spreading fears of a government shutdown, yet can afford to warmonger across the globe. Since when did the US become the World Police Force? We need to take care of our own internal problems before trying to fix the world. Donald Rumsfeld says we are a large military capable of fighting large military's. However, we are NOT nation-builders. Well, we are doing two things we really have no business! Fighting small regimes here, rebuilding a government there all the while, our economy continues to slip. What really angers me is Obama's nonchalant announcement that we've launched 122 cruise missiles at Libya. Then there's the "acceptable losses" of civilian casualties. That suggests the inaccurate nature of cruise missiles. NO civilian death is "acceptable," neither are military losses but they know the risks. Civilians have taken no such oath. The US Government is the perfect picture of a bully. We push our way in where we don't belong. If I'm not mistaken, isn't the Middle East considered 'sacred' land that US troops have violated? We've pushed our way in where we're not welcome, pushing our Western ways all in the name of "helping the oppressed." The US is no better than the supposed tyrants we seek to remove! Not to mention many of which we have put in place after WWII. In my opinion, we are out of line in doing this. Not only the fact that we, in most cases, were not welcome nor could we afford! The genocide of Rwanda, the Holocaust and other atrocities in history have been suggested would have been averted, at least lessened. Maybe so, maybe not. But everyone knows the old saying about having your own house in order before accusing your neighbor of not keeping theirs. Well, here's a perfect example. It just angers me that every time I blink, there's another US action. We have poverty, sickness, high unemployment yet we want to save the world first. I don't think it's always the job of the US to jump in and "save the day." We already have had too many Viet Nam situations. If I have stepped on any toes, that is not my intent. I am merely expressing my views. Respectfully, Jesse [/QUOTE]
