4. Not this shit again! Is it Benghazi again? How many times do we have to be dragged into this
over allegations the "city is going to be massacred?"

These are INTERNAL civil wars! We should be taking many, many steps back from being the world's policemen. Libya should have made it clear that these struggles are internal and our "help" is fraught with ill fated consequences.


FWIW, I have no idea if this is going to be Libya redux, or Rwanda... I just hate that we meddle when we really have no idea about the dynamics on the ground.

Honestly, since Syria doesn't have pure, sweet crude burbling under their sands, imho they will be left to swing in the wind. You can see that there's no breathless, daily, Syrian updates by DUers intent on pushing THIS meme....
