I rather believe that in the United States and the net most people will see
that this country was pushed into this act.  Some facts:
1) Col. Gadaffi attacks Americans and Europeans for no possible
reason, knowing full well that they had nothing to do with his
paranoid ``grievances''.
2) The US attacked military and governmental tagrets in Libya 
only when it had concrete evidence of Libyan complicity in the murder
of an American and a Turkish woman; and dozens of GERMANS, Mr. 
Bormann, were injured as well.
3) Libya is an outlaw nation which promotes acts which should be
repugnant to any civilized human being.  Libya WITHOUT PROVOCATION,
as a matter of policy, murders Westerners and flaunts its successes.
By no means is Libya the only nation involved in state terrorism, 
but it is the nation most likely to be affected by retaliation.  
Syria, for instance, is stronger militarily and less outcast from
the world community.
4) I personally feel disgusted at incessant European complaints
over American policy, when it was hundreds of thousands of 
Americans who died to liberate that continent from the darkest
tyranny of this or any other century.  

Sorry for taking this space on this net, but I had to say this.
Note: I am not even conservative, I consider myself liberal as
a matter of fact.  I do NOT feel, however, that the US is
indebted to forever sit silent while lawless pseudo nations
(jamahiriyah indeed, Colonel) murder and maim just for the sheer
joy of it.
