The Saudi/Bahrani thing is deeply complicated by Sunni/Shia ethnic conflicts. After Iraq this is the last sort of thing to go meddling in again. Sudan is being separated into two states that should hopefully end the worst of that conflict. Ivory Coast is a horrible mess as bad as the Congo that is probably literally impossible to fix. And going into Yemen could be enough to topple the state into Al Qaeda's hands.

Libya has none of these problems. Get rid of Gadhaffi and the problem ends right then and there. It won't be like Iraq or aAfghanistan, it'd be far more like the entirely justifiable international intervention in Kosovo. Just threatening to impose the no-fly zone forced Gahdaffi to back off from attacking Benghazi. Wipe his air force out, and start bombing his armoured forces, and his entire effort would collapse, and a major humanitarian disaster would be averteed with very little effort and without dropping a couple hundred thousand Western troops into the mix to make everything even worse.

This ain't neo-conservative warmongering, it's a clear case where removing a dictator would result in immediate improvement and allow a democarcy movement to flourish. It'd be no different than sending a half-dozen SAS team to Zimbabwe to eliminate Robert Mugabe and his innner circle. Things would be night-and-day different, and much better, after they're gone.

Make it absolutely clear in your minds though that I do not support the massive intervention and phoney war mechanations of the Bush years that led to the unending morass in Iraq and A-stan. A no-fly zone over Libya and attacking Gadhaffis armoured forces is the limit to what I'm willing to support right now.

   

Fortunately for me not the leaden color that you ingested. Come on, Harper is a toady of toadys, thats been proven time again, he would grovel to anyone whom he thought had something to offer him personally. For those who are not above him on the pecking order he has contempt.

   

Wrong again my little brain dead troll.



Then it shouldn't be any problem for you to post some of this "proof" before getting back to your paint chip snack.



I found him more than friendly when I met him and not the least bit contemptable. Maybe you can request him to come visit you at the "facility" you reside in.

   

I see no reason why Canada is getting involved. Let other arab countries take care of the no fly zone. The Saudis, Egypt and others have far better planes than what our air force uses. Where is Spain or Italy or Turkey Or Greece. Wasn't it arab countries that voted against Canada for the security council, maybe Portugal could send some planes instead of us.
