I agree with you. Bottom line is, the UN declared war on Lybia. War is war, war is hell. War should be an all or nothing decision. Limited with rules is nothing more than pacification of the media and those who read it.
The main difference here is the powers to be found a way to burn up the expensive beans and bullets that keep our worldwide military industrial complex funded, while not risking any ground troops and leaving that to "the rebels". Elected leaders pacifying their constituents so they don't have to have their own sons and daughters come home in a body bag and have it broadcasted on 100 media channels.
What kind of crap is that? No matter what they call it, they declared war on Lybia and we get the bill.
If you really give it some thought, look through history, we always have to have an enemy, always have to have a war, and always have to have one on the horizon (currently North Korea and Iran) and a way to feed our production of the weapons of war.
If you think the housing bubble hurt the global economy, just think about what would happen if we weren't building the weapons of war. The entire world economy would collapse. Maybe that's what we need, a wakeup call from hell.
