This is a good thing, this is the Arab Spring. Sometimes when a brutal dictator is overthrown in violence, it is replaced by another violent dictatorship worse than before.

"We" didn't really liberate them. They did the heavy lifting themselves. A functioning democracy requires certain conditions in order for it to work. Didn't you learn this in high school?

In the Middle East, they make the same ignorant assumptions about America being all powerful. Noexcuse is right. There was an uprising against Qaddafi. We took advantage of it by providing limited air support. They overthrew him, not us.

No, we trained the people who overthrew him....

We have been arming the Libyan "rebels" forever...Why?....Libya was HAPPY. They needed nothing.. This is just more bs propaganda.

We have been toiling with Libya for 40+ years...Why did it take this long to kill Gaddafi if he was such a bloodthirsty tyrant???


They weren't rebelling Gaddafi...they were rebelling US because all we do is coerce and antagonize. You really think there wasn't blowback from the US Libyan relations and espionage?

It never matters what atrocities are committed by Muslims. These are the days of political correctness and Muslims are at the very top, the fact that Muslims were the slave sellers who captured Africans to sell in the past is never mentioned, only white Christians can be blamed.

So......let me get this right....and I am asking, not trying to strawman..

Black America should "get over" slavery because any American today literally had nothing to do with the slave trade.

BUT...The middle east will NEVER be absolved of their atrocities....They TOTALLY deserve being held down and get it with no vaseline...All fair game.

Meanwhile, let's just not talk about how everyday Israel is bulldozing innocent peoples homes over and building their own settlements on top.


Is that kind of it??
