IN RESPONSE TO THE RESPONSE TO:
“All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing…..”
WHICH INCLUDED THE STATEMENT:
“No , we are Not certain evil will be defeated , and I never stated or implied that all rebels are good people. However to sit back and watch innocents being killed IS allowing evil to succeed.”

So evil may still succeed even if good people do something? So you agree that just doing something is not a guarantee? Maybe the good people are still not doing enough. After all, the “no fly zone” attacks are still allowing shelling, use of rifles, grenades, mortars, machine guns, poison gas and flame throwers if he decides to use them.

Nobody is stopping Libya’s dictator from killing his subjects, just dictating what means he is allowed to use to do so.

Doubtful David hoping for success
wishing they had a real plan

My favorite part of this article is “Officials expect Arab countries will publicly announce their participation soon.” LOL

Regarding :
David considering history
No , we are Not certain evil will be defeated , and I never stated or implyed that all rebels are good people. However to sit back and watch innocents being killed IS allowing evil to succeed. Not saying at all that Our great country has always made the right choices , or for the right reasons, but at least we have tried , succesfully or not, to help other countries enjoy the freedom of democracy that We ourselves enjoy. America did not win its independence solely through the efforts of Our own Peoples.We gained Our independence with the help and support of other Peoples and other governments. Lets not forget Our own history

REGARDING:
“All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing…..”

So we’re certain evil will be defeated if we good men step in? That must mean all the rebels are good people, right?

Gadaffi called in black African mercenaries to put down the uprising. Libyan rebels decided black people must all be mercenaries and chopped up black oil field workers into little bitty pieces. Is this a good thing? Mistakes happen and at least they weren’t REAL people, but was this a mistake or was it a harbinger of things to come?

Let’s look at other bad people who were ousted. Batista was bad in Cuba, so many Americans supported his overthrow by Fidel Castro. That worked out well.

The Shah of Iran was a tyrant so many liked the idea a religious man, the ayatollah Khomeini was going to replace him. So far so good as they supply bombs to Iraqis killing us.

Communist invasion of Afghanistan was part of the expansion of The Evil Empire. Driving them out, putting the Taliban in charge was surely a good thing–the Taliban that hanged women from soccer goals and messed up perfectly good games for days on end.

Czar Nicholas of Russia was part of an evil tyranny going back for centuries. Replacing it with the likes of Lenin and Stalin was therefore good, even if they DID murder some 20 million farmers and supported bloody revolutions around the world?

I could go on but the point won’t be understood. There’s no shortage of tyrants, not just those in power but those striving to steal that power. We have no assurance our intervention won’t just put in worse people.

No matter our opinion on the situation….we all need to be compassionate neighbors to those who have a spouse or family member serving. Please remember that their loved ones don’t get to tell them that they are “doing fine” or even that they are actually near libya shooting the missles. They are having to do their job and their families are left at home to watch the news to see if their loved one’s ship or sub is involved. And at that moment, when we find out, we are humble.

Please don’t forget that there’s not much we can do about our officials, but we should take time to be a concerned neighbor for those close by.
