In WAR We Trust

I mean come-on… when would the US administration learn to not meddle in others business, especially in the Muslim countries. Its not like Muslims (& Arabs) see the US as there savior.

The last time I checked a Democrat, on the election promise of ‘Change’, came in to the White House. I was one of the Bush Bashers for his ‘with us or against us’ doctrine. I guess I don’t dislike Bush 43 anymore.

I understand that Colonel Muammar Gaddafi was about to send a very strong message to the rebels who were hold up in Libya’s second largest city of Benghazi and the Protectors of the Free World needed to do something. If fulfilling people’s verdict is what the, self proclaimed- police of the world, nations want, then why only Libya, why not Bahrain, Zimbabwe, Ivory Coast and other African war-torn nations? I do sympathies with President Obama. If he really felt that Libyans needed the external help then why not let the Arab league or NATO lead the attack.

In the present economic crisis when European nations are tightening there budgets and cutting back on there defense spending US increased its defense budget to $700 billion. I think the US defense spending has taken the form of a financial aid for Rich European nations. Why else will US get involved in ‘pure’ European crisis (Balkan war was the previous example). Gone are the days when US had to help war affected nations of Italy, France, Spain & Germany. They are developed now and should take care of there back yard. Also what is the plan, more importantly, where is the Exit strategy? When will the nations, particularly US, bail out of the situation?

As always, US policy on Mid-East & Africa raises more 'Questionable Answers'
