Wasn't this whole thing started on account of helping a vast population of rebels? I hear on the news we must support them! we must arm them! I've also heard there may be a need for ground troops to train them!

Look I'm not anti-war or anti- anything really. If the boss called me back I'd go. It's just that I am truly amazed how on account of three little words; freedom, democracy and rebels. People will blindly follow and support someone into a shooting war and not even look into who they are, why or what the potential results of their rebellion will cause. Nothing is known about them other than what they were told on the boob-tube. On such rebellion has opened the doors to the Gaza and shelling, and a very strong chance of an unfriendly Islamic fundamentalist government. All in the name of those three little words. As for Libya, I've looked, I've asked, maybe I'm missing something but if everyone is supporting rebels I got to ask, where are they?

Or has the reason changed now. Last night I heard from the talking heads it's now all about PanAm flight 103. Rebels what rebels they weren't even mentioned now we must just get Pagaffy at all costs!
