Also, all they’re trying to do is put a moderate muslim govt in place to guarantee their investment and supply. win/win. You get rid of ghadaffi and the “people” get a little better living. You can bang on the West all you want. We put the East to shame. Thanks to God & Jesus. Who knows how much longer we have their protection. Not long it seems.

“You can bang on the West all you want. We put the East to shame.”

If you are talking about “China” I am sure you are right. If you are including all of Asia, lumped together, you are maybe only half right.

But we in the west have always set what we thought to ourselves and what we projected was a higher standard.

My only point is that we have been huge hypocrites when it comes to OUR OWN STANDARD, ignoring it at our leisure and for our own benefit and in doing so helping to succor those who we claim we universally oppose.

What’s obvious is in fact we do not universally oppose tyrants and despots and thus we have not earned any right to proclaim it a “right” to militarily intervene in nations ruled by them, just because they are tyrants; which is what is the claim with regard to Libya.
