I can't comprehend why the powers that be didn't intervene. This wasn't a so much a failure of the UN as it was of humanity.

Here's the correct answer that everyone will dance around and not give to you straight out. In most the cases y'all cite, the major players on both sides were black and as been stated, had no national treasure to make them a worthwhile proposition. So nobody cared and that's the way it is. If you feel all warm and fuzzy about those people, there is nothing keeping you from trying to raise money for them, or giving them all your money or even becoming a real live boots on the ground participant in whatever side you support.

Personally, I think Britain wanting a No Fly Zone at the same time they have decided they no longer have a need for an aircraft carrier rather amusing. I have to wonder exactly what kind of flight operations the United Arab League has in mind for themselves to fly.

I hope Obama stays out of the entire Libyan deal completely.

It's not that we think we don't need aircraft carriers, we just can't afford them! :p

Then you don't need to be pushing anybody else to use their carriers, do you? Find a country close by that will be willing to allow you to set up a few squadrons on their land, and you're there. But they don't want you on their land, that would piss off too many people. You could fly out of Spain, until somebody bombs a rail station.

Want to play No Fly Zone? Fine, but do it without US carriers. Putin might be willing to rent you one.

Looks like not much is going to happen. Clinton said there are problems with russia and china so we have decided to let the rebels die as all of you have as well. Probably in the end it is good to show just what pukes we are dealing with in the world. And we keep buying their **** - amazing

so now they say bombing will start after the hearing is Paris. The French have now flown over.

This means war

Two questions. 1) Do you have absolutely no Chinese-made products in your house or place of work? 2) Do you believe in the free market?

He wont answer that first one. I don't think there is anyone in the world with any amount of household goods that likely doesn't have something from China. That's the problem, they have made their nation irreplaceable in the capitalist system without being a nation one would want to admire for their human rights or ethics at times.....

And Americans always believe in the free market until it bites them in the ass ...or at least some Americans do....
