Can we afford it? Are we stretching ourselves too thin?

No and yes. At this point, there is no reason for US intervention in Libya. Libya has not recently threatened this country in any way and it is too late for limited military force to swing the momentum to the anti-Gaddafi forces anyway.

Obama's foreign policy has been erratic and unpredictable. This belated action is indefensible. Had he acted earlier, Obama could have at least made a rational argument in favor of military action but he blew that opportunity. At this point, we are just wasting money and putting American lives at risk for no good reason.
