How would that headline look....maybe in every broadcast, on every page Gadhafi's name should appear.Maybe Gadhafi should become an American Citizen and become the next President. When I see anyones name posted everywhere I remember what my mother said, FOOL'S NAMES AND FOOL'S FACES ALL APPEAR IN PUBLIC PLACES.,,,,,,,,,,,,.LIKE THE POST OFFICE, Mom??????? well things have changed.

Brush up on your history, most of the war mongering and imperialism has come from the left side of Americas political spectrum.
Wilson, FDR , Truman, LBJ to name a few.

Well, it has when one closes their eyes as you've done. Nice job of ignoring Eisenhower, Nixon, G W Bush to name just a few that come quickly to mind.

In 2012 there will be tons of folks wanting only one term for this Telerompter President.
Most of the Independents that voted for him will not do so again.

But, we will be civilized and do all this with our vote, and maybe this time Democrats will not block the military vote from over seas.

Well Biff,

#1 Your post referred to " war mongering and imperialism ", WHERE does the word 'start' appear?

So um, FAIL #1

#2 Eisenhower led us down the path to Vietnam by sending advisors

So um, FAIL #2

#3 Nixon certainly did his share of war-mongering with incursions into Laos and Cambodia

So um, FAIL #3

LBJ maybe, he just wanted Texas corporation's to do well ....but handed it to Nixon who was the patsy for the lack of public supervision........under Nixon the rulers of engagement were very strange, as odd as our reason for getting involved it the first place...............but MONEY ROLLS UPHILL not to weak but to strong hands..............The pubic conversation ,,,,,,,,,,is not the whole truth Right now money is rolling to China, and the international traders...............and China is in the shadow of public opinion on many fronts.

It's the UN's place not Obama's place to make a public declaration.
Isn't that the point of the UN ?
