so, a couple pages past my question, and no good answer. i expected as much. i haven't seen a compelling reason yet for us engaging over there. i haven't seen much of a reason at all, let alone compelling. evil dictator and his civvies hurting. hell, that could encompass plenty of dictators and plenty of countries. so, why libya? because most of nato said so? because it takes all those countries' minds off their woes? because libya is a bad guy, with a bad leader? again, that description fits a variety of countries. i think it's ridiculous; i think once again we're letting the euros get us into something we don't have business in. it makes no sense. i think the powers that be figured no one would bitch about this particular guy and his country-unlike saudi arabia, bahrain, yemen, etc. an 'easy' target. to what end?

and so...our foreign policy contines to suck.

You are right. Since when do "humanitarian" efforts start off with a missile attack?
