This is true, they are damned if they do, damned if they don't. I'm not surprised with Obama's slow reaction at all not to mention US is streched over Afganistan and Iraq...

No NOT from Croatia, get your facts strait. The guy was from Kosovo. We have like 1% of Muslims in total population btw.

Wrong again, Croatia and Bosnia were left for dead even with weapons embargo in our face thank you very much (NOT!). But yes NATO reacted in 1999. in defence of Kosovo.
Strange how US has better support from us that were not only abandoned by them but royally f***ed than from those they shed blood for. Maybe a lesson to learn for the future allies picking? Or not? xD
NVM we are in NATO now anyway...

You know as well as I, no one respects America before or after trying to help. Everyone thinks America always has profit motive. Yet, Americans are burying their sons. Where are all the profits, when does that happen? What is the payback for the dead soldiers and billions of dollars spent to help ungrateful countries? More contempt and hatred of America and an empty wallet
The enemy is the same..radical jihadists.
The difference is most of Libya oil production is going to Western European countries. Western European countries will be forced to acquire more of their oil from Russia. It is not about freedom, it is promoted that way by the media. The Libyans will be just as oppressed by the Jihadists as they have been by Gadahfi. Sorry, it won't be any better. There will be no rule of "We the People" if Gadahfi is out of power. It will be organized radical jihadists who have planned and promoted the insurgency that take the role of oppressing the libyans.
YET, no one is thinking why the jihadists are pushing so hard to take Libya. After they took Egypt... they only got a broke country with no money or resources to promote their agenda. Now that is different with Libya. If the jihadists can get their hooks into a money tree like Libya and dedicate the resources to jihad just think of the havoc they can cause.
America should have stayed out of the Libyan conflict 100% and let the Western European countries with everything to lose see what they can do about Libya.
We will have to wait and see, but you can trust Americans will be hated regardless of the outcome. A new Jihadist Libyan government will pull their factions together to affirm their power and be more oppressive of the Libyan people than Gadahfi.
Sadly, it just looks like more of the same for the people of Libya.
Don't get me wrong... I'd love to be wrong and look forward to a democratic government ruled by "we the people".

Agree 99%. The 1% is that I'm leaving a possibility that Arab world is going through their "French revolution" (many still have kings and lifetime presidents, pretty much - monarchs) and that they are sick and tired of "great leaders" and religious same as other authorities, they want a better quality of life. So I think that even if some extremists seize the power in those countries they will be overthrown very quickly...
