Just do what Reagan did with the Iran-Iraq War, make tons of money selling them both weapons, and let them kill each other off.

The reason we are having trouble achieving peace with the Islamic world is because we are reluctant to use necessary force.,

No. No. No. According to Obama and those who elected him its not that at all.

Its because we do not take the time to talk with them and discuss our differences face to face. In fact I recall that it was well known by all who listen to NPR that Bush and his warmonger buddies refused to talk and only wanted to bomb first and ask questions later. This was said to have created an attitude that made trillions of Muslims (who formerly loved us) to get mad and become terrorists that would strap bombs on their kids to get back at us.

Everybody in the west is looking at this as a “turkey shoot”, but I have a bad feeling that something bad & unexpected may be unleashed by Libya.

Jim—With all due respect, why are you cheering our Navy’s attack on Khadaffi? Khadaffi, though a dictator, is a secular dictator. The people our Usurping Pres. is supporting are Islamo-terrorists. How does that advance the security of our country?

BTW, remember that picture the media loved to run of Rumsfeld meeting with Saddam back in 1983? I wonder if they’ll be showing the photo of Obama and Qadaffi shaking hands like they did that one.

I hope one of those targets was the home of the released PanAm 103 bomber (I think he is in Libya).

If this goes well Hillary quits by the 4th of July.

Why, are you thinking she'll try to take cedit for the idea and use it for a platform to run on?

well we had been unofficially at war with them way before that. if you look at lend-lease and aid to the UK and USSR and some of our naval acts before that we weren’t exactly bystanders before they declared war

All I ask is that we treat the Islamic world with the same level of humanity that Sherman treated George. In the end it would save a lot of lives and improve the quality of life in Africa and the Middle East.
