By "young Western Europe" I mean, of course, the Europe of about 50 years ago, when at least 3 European states were ruled by dictators with U.S. and NATO backing.

I give up.  Why are you in Libya?  Stay away from tanks, AA installations, and anyone riding a camel, who has "far away" eyes and a pack of goats in tow.

We are there because we do the right things for the right people when we feel like it, have elections coming up, and/or they have oil...or hate Israel.

We are there because otherwise Obama would have to deal with more important matters to this country and because this affords him the perfect occasion for depreciating our sovereignty.  Let's stop pretending we are missionaries ever seeking opportunities for doing good with the "heathens."  We'd damn well better take care of the home front--while we still can.

The problem with "London" is not the riots, it's the welfare state and the obsession with de-Anglicizing England.

We are in Libya to protect French and Italian oil supply contracts with the Libyan government.  Kadaffi goes away and so does oil contracts.
