I was about to say,

“I’m very proud of my fellow conservatives, to not fall for the usual jingoistic manipulations as they did with Kosovo”.

Unless you’re joking, I’ll exclude you in that statement!

Well, I agree. God Bless our pilots.

However, would you mind telling me why we should get involved in Libya? What our national interests are, who the rebels are, why this was different than Egypt, etc. You know, the details of why America should become involved in shooting down Libyan planes and bombing Libyan airports and all that.

...anything you could do to shed light on that would be appreciated. Also, why rallying around the president is a good thing. That too. What are his goals? What leadership has he shown? I’m curious about that too.

The US has just become the muslim arab revolutionary airforce, bombing a country with a very sizable WMD program.

Are you insane, or drunk??

Perhaps some clerk somewhere will make a slight targeting miscalculation and they'll nail a certain hotel in Rio by mistake.

Why? Are we not sufficiently "rallied" around him for the other conflicts we are in already? How much more "rallying" do we need?

No thanks. My gut tells me this is not our fight and that there are no good guys here. Do we even have the slightest confidence at all that the rebels are any better than Gaddafi? I thought I've read that Al-Queda is also supporting the rebels so aren't we now effectively on the same side with our mortal enemy?

Also, other than maybe Britain, I seriously doubt all our allies combined have the capacity to set up a real no fly zone over Libya. My hunch is the US will have to do 90% of the work here, and for a questionable cause.
