If you read my posting history, I don't give a rat's *** about making friends. I only care about the truth and doing the right thing in life. And I cannot stand hypocrisy on both the left AND the right.
I am happy for you that you have such keen knowledge of 'the truth' and 'the right thing.'
Then tell me why were so many liberals pissed about Bush not going through the UN? Why were liberals pissed about Bush having only the UK, and Poland as 'the coalition?' And why weren't liberals as pissed about Afghanistan as the were about Iraq? It's clear your not a liberal. It is also clear you really don't understand liberals that well.
It really does not matter if the U.N. sanctions it or not. All I've ever heard about Bush from the liberals was Bush didn't need to meddle in other nations affairs, no nation building, Saddam did nothing wrong, etc etc etc. Substitute Saddam for Quaddafi and Obama for Bush and isn't Obama doing the exact same thing.
I will repeat. Whether the U.N. sanctions this or not is a pure excuse and is totally irrelevant. What is the core principal here? Are we supposed to meddle in other nations affairs or not? Are we going in to "nation build" or not? Do we want war or peace? Just pick one side and stick to it.

Whether the UN sanctions it and there is broad international support is kind of important, in fact it is very important, to tons of people. Again, why were many on the left more supportive of Afghanistan, the first gulf war, and Serbia then they were of the second gulf war? I am not saying I support this in Libya, or Afghanistan, I don't, but you seem to leave no room for ambiguity of opinion (especially among liberals) which necessarily explains why you are so confident in the correctness of your assertions and why you think others don't stick to their principles when in fact many do.
I love all the wingnuts telling us how we should feel, making up ridiculous comparisons, re-inventing history, and most of all, thinking they're somehow military experts now.
List of Truths Wingnuts Will Never Accept
Iraq II /= Libya in any way, shape or form.
Disapproving of military action in situation A /= always having to disapprove of all future military action.
Supporting our Allies when they ask is good foreign and diplomatic policy.
The world isn't Black & White.
'Hypocrite' does not mean what they think it means.

Who supports Obama on this new war? Weren't we supposed to feel pure undiluted outrage over the Iraq war? At least this forum had trillions of words written on just how evil Bush was over the Iraq war. Now it's Iraq all over again in Libya...
