The war in Libya was a civil war. The u.n. approved to provide humanitarian aid and commit to the cause which was to overthrow a monsterous dictator that had been in power 40 something years. It was assistance. America didn't play that large Of a role in the military support effort. It was mostly aided by the french military. America just got to the critical counterintelligence information leading to the location of Gaddafi and got there in time to box him in with no where to go. That was by air support. No troops on the ground. The Libyan rebels got to Gaddafi, then they tortured him 6 hours and then killed Him.
Hmm, so we can fly in our bombers and blow the **** out of the command and control centers of Russia, Iran, etc... and it's not an act of war, as long as we weaken their military so much that civilians can kill their leaders?
The OP and right-wingers who fell for Trump or pine for his return have no idea what critical thinking is. Opposition to vaccines and public health requirements is proof of that. If they had any simple levels of reasoning or independent thought they would never have supported that pathetic loser. It is laughable that they even attempt to use the term in an attack on those who have concerns about public health or favor opposing politics.
i know many liberals living in NJ. some of them are even in my immediate family. emotion. they are scared and react accordingly. i have a female college student in my family. she just got her covid booster, is very scared about climate change, and thinks that China is our friend, guns make her uncomfortable to name a few. she is certainly entitled to her own opinions. her generation doesnt see the big picture. liberty is taken for granted. they will give their government more power willingly and be happy to do so. so yeah, just emotional reactions. the result of a privileged and spoiled society. by the time they realize what a hole they dug for themselves, it will be too late and sadly they will have no idea why.
This entire thread started with an irony. It is like opposite day with you people.
As for myself, I believe in a balanced budget, a nuclear family and I oppose abortion. In many ways I am quite conservative myself in all the ways that count. I don't do "spring break" and I don't riot ... (I don't BTW, pay hookers nor date children like some of you people either). But I am absolutely disgusted by tea party-Trumpie type knuckleheads who don't believe global warming is a serious problem, think (or thought) the virus is a hoax and refuse to help stem the spread of that dangerous disease by sensible measures like social distancing, wearing PPE in crowded situations and taking the vaccine when it becomes available. It is because of people like that ... we have hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths.
Simple, sensible measures that can help us put this disease behind us. But we have millions of (supposedly) adults bawling like children.
People like that are stone cold idiots. I am sorry, but that whole section of American society is out of their freakin' minds. Troglodytes is appropriate.
Lost me at "global warming is a serious problem."
It's Climate Change now, and if it is as serious a problem as some people like to claim, it won't matter because there is little we could do to change the future anyway.
I accept that some problems are simply beyond human control, and that includes Covid-19.
We have been on lock-downs, wearing masks, limiting close interactions/crowd sizes and most are vaccinated, yet we have more Covid-19 today than at any time previously.
Just because chasing one's tail involves movement doesn't mean we're getting somewhere.
If the answers we have are inadequate, maybe it's time to ask better questions.
What should the Earth's average surface temperature be?
If we have never had more Covid-19 than we do today, how will doing the same things we have been doing for more than a year reduce the number of corona virus cases?
Do some of the measures taken to mitigate covid's spread simply provide the virus time to mutate before new hosts and those previously infected with a parent strain are infected with the new variant?
someone resurrected this old thread and at least i chuckled. critical thinking is lacking everywhere but from my viewpoint its the evangelical right who live in the binary good/bad world
Ideology trumps facts for some people...........HEY, what we are doing in Detroit and
our other cities IS working!
