What Intervention Looks Like

Robert E. Hunter of the Council on Foreign Relations  "With the Libyan rebels now facing a last stand against forces loyal to Muammar al-Qaddafi, now is the time for the West to intervene. What can Washington and its allies accomplish before it's too late?"
ROBERT E. HUNTER is a Senior Adviser at the RAND Corporation. He was U.S. Ambassador to NATO and a Director of Middle East and North African Affairs on the National Security Council. So there.

Obama Dithers While American Credibility Burns  "The purpose of American diplomacy never changes: It is to secure the national interests of the United States. … Irresponsible diplomacy comes in many forms. Diplomacy without strength does not even merit the name of diplomacy. Treaties that fail to respect President Ronald Reagan’s dictum of ‘trust, but verify’ are reckless. Treaties that are negotiated merely to encourage foreigners to think better of the United States are unwise."
Will America ever recover from the damage done by this unqualified amateur and his Democrat enablers?

Why should we intervene? What do you think our founding fathers would suggest that we do? I'm all for unleashing the full might of our military upon those that attack our nation, but I am not for sticking our heads into a civil war that is occurring on the other side of the world. Getting involved in the mess going on in Libya would be a mistake and would only make matters worse.
