Peace in the middle east?
With on going conflict and so much instability its really disheartening to wake up each day seeing the people of Africa and the middle east in so much turmoil. Its also very hard to pick sides when it always feels like the news media is cutting out half the story. There isn’t much doubt in my mind that Gaddafi is a dangerous and tyrannical leader. However with each new conflict and uprising it always makes you wonder if the people finally had enough, or if something else is going on that the westerners cant see. I am not a conspiracy nut, so I not going to dive into that mess. But I hope that this situation gets under control quickly for the sake of the innocent.

There has been “unrest” in that area for years.
I feel that we should just stay out of it. Our involvement just never seems to help. Sure, some of the populace appreciates it, but the general feel I get is that we’re not wanted. And we have enough problems on our own turf to deal with.
We’re stretching ourselves too thin.

Luckily this seems to be more of a collaborative effort with the coalition then just us. But I agree, we shouldn’t have to police every area of unrest. It seems to have been a fairly effective day as well reading through the reports coming in. Gaddafi’s forces have lost their will to continue the offensive after the strategic tomahawk strikes.
