Un Report: Libyan Human Rights Abuses Rampant

[Kirk Freeman]

Great. We got rid of the devil we knew, a devil that renounced his WMD program and now have 100 lesser devils.

More smart diplomacy from the current administration?

Well . . . yeah!

There are a couple of factors in operation in this situation, as I see it.

1. Most of that part of the world can't spell "human rights" much less understand what it means to developed and "civilized" nations of the world.

2. Folks who have been repressed and terrorized by their own government or other groups will almost invariably try to "get some of their own back" when they acquire the power to do so.

What do you mean "lesser" devils?

 

[buford t justice]

It was to be expected,with a power vacuum in a country that has had the same dictator for that many years.

What do you mean "lesser" devils?

Lesser - only in their ABILITY to commit violent despicable acts. NOT necessarily in their INTENT.

Libya... Egypt is getting worse it seems like every passing day. I am so anxious for Obama to fix Syria next.

Syria and Egypt at the same time? I think we could do it!

 

[Stschil]

I can hear it now
'My fellow Americans, today the UN Security Council has voted to approve the use of a broad coalition of military forces, spear headed by the United States, to assist in eliminating the violence and civil rights violations occurring by the anti democracy regime in Lybia.......'

Of course, just in time for the elections

You know what I'd do if I had a million dollars man? Syria and Egypt at the same time man.

Actually, I believe I've read somewhere that Syria has one of the best (!) armies in the Middle East and something like the fourth best air defense system in the world. Not sure we could easily beat them without marshaling the Gulf War I capabilities we used then - which we no longer have.
