Gadhafi vows 'long war' as strikes hit his forces
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/af_libya
Why we ever got involved with this is completely out of this world... NATO is ran by a US General, so you better believe we will have troops on the ground. Discuss. |

Oceania is friends with Eurasia. |

Didn't Gadhafi's gov't ask for a cease-fire today? The AF and Navy punked them pretty good yesterday.

We're clearly not involved. Only warmongering hillbilly republican presidents drag our military into the internal affairs of sovereign middle-eastern nations with oil.
Oceania is friends with Eurasia. Tell me how are not involved NATO is bombing the shit out of them, NATO which is ran by a US General. |
He was being extremely sarcastic.

I was being extremely sarcastic, in a way that anybody who had read George Orwell's classic novel "1984" (which is, or ought to be, required reading material in any high school curriculum) would know.
Besides, it's not Gaddafi's fault. al-Qaeda is responsible for the oppression of the Libyan people.

Joe, I realized that after you posted lol my fault
|
I am very supportive of the Rebels in Libya. Unfortunately I think the no-fly zone is a week or two to late to really matter now. I also so not like the fact the the US Government is intervening. We are not at war with Libya so our planes and missiles have no reason to be anywhere near there. While it is sad that a civil war is going on, it is not our fight.

Sidebar: According to the Wikipedia entry on the subject, a Tomahawk costs $3,756,000 on average in 2011 dollars. 110 of them would therefore cost $413,160,000. |
yep. War is expensive.
this no-fly zone will cost something like 1-2billion a week. dont quote me on that, cant remember real projections |

My solution to the problems in Africa and the Middle East are very controversial, but would solve 99% of the issues that keep reoccurring.

without letting Assange know all my secrets, keyword is NUKE.

The United States is one of the five recognized nuclear powers under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty ("NPT"). As of September 2009 it possessed 5,113 warheads operationally deployed, in active reserve, or held in inactive storage. This figure compares to a peak of 31,225 total warheads in 1967 and 22,217 in 1989, and does not include "several thousand" warheads that have been retired and scheduled for dismantlement. Of those, at least 1,702 are actively deployed in either SLBM (submarine-launched) or ICBM (silo-launched) form. (source) So, realistically, it really would just require the press of a button. No need to even roust the bomber crews out of bed. Thought experiment: What would happen if we actually did this? Assume that we held in reserve a sufficiently large number of warheads to annihilate ten times over anybody who objected to our homicidally insane use of force against the aforementioned targets in Africa and the Middle East. What would the world be like (politically, economically, socially) after the fallout from the first strike settled? |
people would be mad for a while. but ends justifies means.

Relax. We'll wait until the wind is blowing in a southerly direction.
Geez, these Greek folks thinking that just because we want to blow up half the surface of the earth we don't realize that unless we're careful, our children will grow up in a world without mousakas. :D |

... and here I thought gyro would sound stereotypical. Shows you what I know.
edit: do you have any idea how hard it is to find mousaka in the US? Seriously? I mean, they have gyro (and dolmadakia, and spanakopita, and souvlaki, and baklava...) in practically every shopping mall here. I was really trying hard to think of something obscure-yet-recognizable to the average American. |

So basically, there would be a lot of dead people, and a lot of living people that hate The United States more than they ever have, but otherwise, things will stay the same. The only possible exception is if a strong community existed somewhere in the area that decided to put together a real democracy or other government, intent on serving and protecting its people, if that community could spread its influence as fast as the dictatorial governments, at least initially, as well as defending itself from those governments, it might have a chance to exist and grow...unfortunately, we're hoping for something good out of a nation of people who laziness, greed, and selfishness makes capitalist america look like The United States of 1776. Finding enough people in that entire country to commit to serving the public good for a small community would be an impossible task, let alone finding them after we bomb them back to the dinosaurs. |
