The attack on regime positions in Libya is probably the most moral thing the West has done, militarily-wise, in decades.

Killing Al Qaedatards and their Talibanistani sugardaddies for payback almost 10 years going has been quite moral.

Not really. Vengeance is hardly moral.

I may be missing something, but did GWB invade Iraq because Saddam was at the time shelling his own people and it was the only way to stop the bloodshed? I thought it had to do with the weapons of mass destruction that never existed.

The difference between both operations is not in what you call them, but the motives/reasons for starting it.

I hope you are right and Saddam was indeed slaughtering his own people en masse when Americans invaded. As otherwise your post would just prove you are a fucking idiot.

What you are missing is the irony of France taking an inch from the UNSC (no fly zone) and turning it into a foot (no drive zone) when France wishes to act.

Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Wouldn't you say it's more like the good advice that you just didn't take, though?

You'd know a lot about that.

Are they willing to go all the way and depose Khaddafi or is this no-fly/no-drive just 'pussying' around?  Or is the partition of Lybia the objective? 

Oh and can someone tell the Arab bitches who requested an intervention to stop moaning when the intervention is actually happening!?

Drama in the Kremlin! :o  Putin criticized the Crusade on Libya, Medvedev criticized Putin for running his mouth.  Looks like northern Japan won't be the only radioactive place in the near future.
