Oh dear, dictators that support overthrow of gaddafi clamp down on their own protestors. West wonders what do we do now. Back our friends or back democracy.

GMC, the only thing they're backing is oil and money. It is quite a predicament, we have been inflicting peace and democracy on our enemies for quite some time. Maybe we were on the wrong side?

What I can't wait to see is who's going to be the one to give a BJ to Qadaffi and his sons to get back in their good graces. Qadaffi will truly be insufferable when this is over.:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl I think this is going to be like a Brazilian soft porn soap opera.

For decades the west (and I don't mean just america, they're just the newest players) has been overthrowing democracy as soon as it threatened any commercial interests, now they're starting to do it on home turf.

On the other hand I suspect most ammericans would find it outrageous of they knew what is done in their name.

Well the fight in Libya is almost over, the rebels are fading into the woodwork or heading to the Egyptian border. From what I gather the only city still under rebel control is Benghazi. We would have to invade now and that's a lot harder than a NFZ.

I don't think so. Cheap gas for the suburban assault vehicle = no problem.
