You should know, I fully support our operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. My objection to American involvement in Libya is based on the fact that I cannot see where our national interests will be served. This just seems like a political calculation on Obama's part. A war that he can call his own and a war that we can easily win. Since we deposed Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi has not posed much of a threat compared to several other world leaders.

If Obama is doing this for purely humanitarian reasons, then why has he not intervened in Darfur, where thousands have died and/or became rape victims?

If helping the rebels overthrow Gaddafi, then why did Obama not make that decision a few weeks ago when rebels seemed to have the upper hand? Why did Obama sit on his hands and wait for the UN to act while Gaddafi regrouped and went on a killing spree?

If we are able to turn the tide in what is a Libyan civil war, what makes us think that those who take over will be any improvement over Gaddafi? The most organized among the rebels are likely to be affiliated with Al Qaeda, so chances are the next Libyan leader would be as bad or even worse than Gaddafi.]

Finally, why is Obama on yet another vacation with his family, playing soccer in Brazil, instead of acting presidential during time of war?

Well, I agree with you on Libya. Afghanistan, I can understand because that was the base home for the Taliban(sp). Iraq, I have hard feelings over due to loss of a close friend, so I will choose not to comment on that, out of respect for him.

I again do not think it is our place to be the world's police dog, I think we should close down all bases around the world. Cut our military budget, with a long list of other items. Secure our boarders, and dare anyone to attack.

I want to be perfectly clear, I do not believe inour nation, nation building, let others do what they will. I think if we are at war, we turn the nation into a pile of dirt, then we blow up the dirt. Sound harsh, well don't mess with us. Period.

I do believe though as personal choice that I will send aid to other countries that face natural disasters and so forth. I will send mission folks to convert to Christianity. However, the government should make that an individual choice. Not take the money of the people.
