Good point
Gadafhi's son was just interviewed and he said he could not believe the US (said Obama specifically
) would be involved in this he thought we were allies
He was then asked if his dad was gonna step down. He said that was ridiculous because people want him there! He went on to say that the people trying to oust him are terrorists!
This raises a few points though, there are people giving their lives for this man and they are not in the Libyan armed forces. People in the streets are carrying signs and chanting for him. These 'rebels' as they are being called want to oust him and are asking for more weapons instead of air strikes. This is gonna get tricky. Give em weapons and we are now siding with the rebels
. We already are I know, but still. Almost starting to sound like our dealings with the Taliban. This is not gonna be a quick war, it will last as civil wars do. Gadafhi promises a long war. When we went into Afghanistan, everyone thought we would go right in and get out quick. Iraq the same thing. Remember when we sent in all those air strikes and it was announced that 'major fighting had ceased'. We are still there fighting with people we have no business fighting with
Take out the bad guys, but get in and get out let those people sort it out, they will still hate us in the long run no matter what we do
