Back to the Future of Libya

Up until two weeks ago, the only thing I knew about Libya was that if you purchase plutonium from them, in exchange for making a bomb, you damn well better make the bomb, or they will find you.

God, I love "Back to the Future"

Today the situation in Libya is very real. Rebels are rebelling violently against Muammar Gaddafi. What remains of his supporters are killing the rebels.

Who are these rebels?

Wouldn't you like to know.

Somewhere lies a threat to America apparently, because our celebrity president authorized the soft-toss of over one hundred Tomahawk cruise missiles into Libya. Those missiles cost over a million dollars each.

One Hundred Millions Dollars worth of weaponry? I call that a War.

But Obama hasn't declared anything except for the Final Four in his bracket (which looks stellar by the way...)

We are assuming that when we assist in overthrowing Gaddafi that we are going to approve of the power that replaces him.

How many wars until America's bloodlust is satisfied? How many countries can we intervene in at once?

I don't know the exact statistics but it's near 700 army bases, near 250,000 soldiers, spread out all over the world. Pointing guns at people, in their homeland and hoping, even expecting they will thank us for it.

Neo-military-colonialism. Awesome!

Somebody cue Lee Greenwood, I feel a song coming on...
