Then look at the number of civilians that were facing the fate of Hama in Benghazi. Obama may have made the best decision of his presidency by preventing the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians. Please be aware of that.We have no interest there, this is insane...only insane if you ignore the prevented Benghazi massacre. All Qaddafi did Dude, that was nearly a week after all the important shit happened. Did you miss the news that week?was reject President Obama's demand that he step down, now we are throwing a tantrum. It is ridiculous, and there will likely beSpeculation! According to whom? troops on the ground before year's end. The very best outcome that is possible from this is that Qaddafi will be removed, and replaced with another dictator who hates us as much as he does.Is that better than Qaddafi being removed and replaced by a west-friendly democracy? I thought THAT was the very best outcome. Or do you not believe in democracy? Do you think democracies are weaker than dictatorships? If so, why do you hate America? Lol Not worth one American dime, let alone one American life. Dude, Benghazi.

Dude.

Longer, you are dreaming if you think a western style democracy will replace Qaddafi. We've already wasted too much money there, and I pray we don't waste any lives. But I understand your optimism, with Iraq and Afghanistan working out so well for us. The best way we can protect the world is to get back to a solid foundation here at home. That isn't happening.

No, I don't believe in democracy. I believe in a Constitutional Representative Republic, like we used to have.
